PV power generation includes PV power generation and grid-connected PV power generation, and the scope of this paper focuses on solar energy harvesting technologies for PV self-powered applications, which belongs to the former scope. There are many studies on PV self-powered technologies, but there has been no review of this field.
The main principle of PV power generation is the photoelectric effect of semiconductors. The PV panel uses the received solar radiation to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is processed by the controller and inverter and then stored in the electricity storage device via the filtering circuit to supply power to applications.
The term "photovoltaic" is made up of the words "photo", which comes from the Greek word "phos", meaning "light"; and "voltaic", which originated in the field of electricity, as a tribute to the physicist Alessandro Volta, who invented the battery. Photovoltaic energy can therefore be defined as energy produced by light.
