Solar energy is environmentally friendly technology, a great energy supply and one of the most significant renewable and green energy sources. It plays a substantial role in achieving sustainable development energy solutions.
Solar energy is the term for the energy collected from solar irradiance, and this energy can be in the form of heat (thermal energy), a chemical change or process or even pure electrical energy (electricity) [3, 4].
Many interconnected viewpoints relate to the socio-economic benefits of exploiting solar energy. These benefits include greater regional and national energy independence, energy supply diversification and security, and support for energy market trade. The cost of solar panels is decreasing, and the demand for renewable energy is increasing.
Diversifying the national energy grid through solar energy technologies fosters sustainable economic growth and improves the quality of life, particularly in rural areas. This will rely heavily on implementing government strategies and policy instruments to use solar energy.
Over the past decade, energy demand has witnessed a drastic increase, mainly due to huge development in the industry sector and growing populations. This has led to the global
