Abstract
The human consumption of electrical energy became dangerous for the environment and it is necessary to reconsider our resources notably while making appear the part of the renewable one. Recent researches bring us to note that the renewable resources (coming from the sun, the terrestrial core and from the phenomena of tides) are enormous, often comfortably available for our long-term needs. In fact, with the increase of fossil fuel consumption worldwide, it is becoming even more urgent to find ways of using the renewable energy. One of the renewable energy plans is producing electricity directly from sun energy. Thus, photovoltaic panels are used. The produced energy is connected to a set of batteries in order to be stored and then used at any time (day or night). Another way is by using the sun energy indirectly for different applications. Some of these applications are heating and cooling. Solar panels are also used but the global conversion system is different from that which produces electricity. In this paper, the two strategies in using sun energy directly from solar PV and indirectly as solar thermal energy are respectively treated. A comparison between these two different strategies is discussed. Conclusions are finally given.
