Concentrated solar energy in materials processing

TLDR
In this article, solar energy conversion can be performed in three different ways: solar fuels, solar electricity, and solar power generation, which is available in abundant in nature, is the least utilised.
Abstract
Solar energy, which is available in abundant in nature, is least utilised. As per primary energy product, solar energy conversion can be of three different ways: solar fuels, solar electricity, and...
