Development of Green Photonics Technologies Applicable In Hybrid Solar Energy Concentrators

Recently, the most abundant of the renewable energy source is solar energy. It has been developed rapidly both on domestic and large industry scale. Green photonic technologies have been taking part on a very important role producing hybrid solar energy concentrators in order to improve energy efficiency and to reduce our environmental impact significantly. Conventionally, the solar energy conversions are thermal heating, photovoltaic (PV) and thermal to electric. In thermal heating systems, water is heated directly or indirectly by the sun, typically insulated tubing on the rooftop solar collectors for domestic water heating are now common even in regions where direct sunlight is somewhat large installations for commercial electricity generation are supporting in our climates. In fact to the direct sustainable eco-benefits derived from the products themselves, green photonics will also impact the product design, manufacturing processes and performances employed. Our research aims to discuss covering holographic concentrators, solid state lighting (SSL), solar cells, photovoltaics, and optical communications. PV cells generate electricity directly and widely used in domestic and commercial. With a specially designed holographic optical element (HOE), a large portion of the expensive silicon photovoltaic cells in a solar panel can be replaced. With this Holographic Planar Concentrator (HPC) technology, the solar modules produce more energy in all conditions when compared to a standard module with an equal area of silicon PV cells. The importance of considering the full lifetime environmental impact of products will be discussed, including photomaterials, use, and end of life issues. Industrial and legislative strategies are reviewed, and a number of specific measures are presented for how to accelerate the development of green photonics technologies and promote their adoption into our society. Solar energy research will become a growing area of research in Indonesia and needs to increase the number of grid connected hybrid energy systems in the future.
