Production of high purity solar grade silicon can be made from common rice hulls. A unique process for material purification and reduction includes leaching the rice hulls in acid followed by treatment with high purity water, coking the acid-cleaned hulls in a non-oxidizing ambient, compensating the carbon or silica content of the coked hulls to obtain a desired carbon to silica ratio and reducing the silica to produce high purity silicon. The size of the rice hulls is decreased by grinding or milling, the rice hull is leached in with aqueous hydrochloric acid and rinsing in distilled water to reduce the impurity level in the rice hulls to below about 400 ppm., the leached rice hull is coked by pyrolyzing the rice hulls at a temperature of about 920.degree C in a non-oxidizing atmosphere comprising a gaseous mixture of an inert gas comprising about 1% anhydrous hydrogen chloride and at least one of the group of anhydrous acids consisting of HCl, HBR, and HI to produce a composite of carbon and silica by adjusting the carbon to silica ratio of the coked rice hulls to less than about 2:1 and thermally reducing the adjusted carbon and silica mixture to produce elemental silicon. 
One of the biggest challenges currently facing large-scale solar energy technology is finding an effective way to store the energy, which is essential for using the electricity at night or on cloudy days. Recently, researchers from MIT have designed a new kind of battery that can quickly absorb large amounts of electricity, as required for solar energy storage. Unlike conventional batteries it is made of all-liquid active materials. The battery consists of three layers of liquids: two electrode liquids on the top and bottom and an electrolyte liquid in the middle forming the three distinct layers. In the first prototype, the electrodes were molten metals - magnesium on the top and antimony on the bottom - while the electrolyte was a molten salt such as sodium sulfide. When charging, the solid container holding the liquids collects electrons from exterior solar panels or another power supply, and later, for discharging, the container carries the electrons away to the electrical grid to be used as electricity. As electrons flow into the battery, magnesium ions in the electrolyte gain electrons and form magnesium metal, rising to form the upper molten magnesium electrode. At the same time, antimony ions in the electrolyte lose electrons and sink to form the lower molten antimony electrode. At this point, the battery is fully charged, since the battery has thick electrode layers and a small layer of electrolyte. To discharge the electrical current, the process is reversed, and the metal atoms become ions again. The batteries are expected to be inexpensive and simple to manufacture but likely to have the inherent problems associated with handling of liquids. 
Conventional solar systems have an efficiency of only14 percent. Anna Dyson of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York has developed a system that gives combined heat and power with an efficiency of nearly 80 percent by efficiently capturing and transferring light into electricity and the solar heat into hot water. According to Anna Dyson the new system uses high-tech solar-concentrator technology and the system has stacks of pivoting lenses that senses the position of sun at any time and the modules are made to face the sun directly to focus sun rays onto high-tech solar cells. The key breakthrough is the miniaturized concentrator solar cell, which uses a lens with concentric grooves to focus collected light. Even though it is only the size of a postage stamp compared to the usual solar collector area that spans 4 x 4 feet, the cell is much more efficient in collecting and reusing solar energy. Micro channels at the base of the module transfer energy in the form of heat and light to wires contained inside. Each vertical stack of lenses rolls and tilts to track the sun. Incorporating these new cells into arrays could make solar energy an option that is competitive with other energy sources, reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. The lenses can be nestled between window panes and all of the pieces can be made of glass to lower the lighting needs of buildings, as it will provide usable light inside. It could supply as much as 50 percent of the energy needed for a building to operate. According to Anna Dyson the full-size prototype will be incorporated into a new building at The Center of Excellence in Syracuse, New York. 
Solar power is a clean way to generate electricity that’s not only environmentally friendly, but economical. photovoltaic modules that gather energy from the sun, and release it as electricity that can power home or office to save on energy costs while helping protect the planet and to bring clean, reliable energy to residences, business, power-generation plants, schools, factories and areas without access to electricity, as well as other applications such highway and stadium lighting.
Photovoltaic (PV) cells are made of special materials called semiconductors such as silicon, which is currently the most commonly used. When sun light strikes the cell, energy knocks electrons loose and the flow of electrons is a current. By placing metal contacts on the top and bottom of the PV cell, we can draw that current off to use externally. Many factors limit the efficiency of photovoltaic cells. Silicon is cheap, for example, but in converting light to electricity it wastes most of the energy as heat. The most efficient semiconductors in solar cells are alloys made from elements from group III of the periodic table, like aluminum, gallium, and indium, with elements from group V, like nitrogen and arsenic. One of the most fundamental limitations on solar cell efficiency is the band gap of the semiconductor from which the cell is made. The maximum efficiency a solar cell made from a single material can achieve in converting light to electrical power is about 30 percent; the best efficiency actually achieved is about 25 percent.
The best form of renewable energy available to the developing countries is the solar energy. This is due to the fast changing world energy scenario, particularly for emerging economies such as India and China on account of the rising costs of oil and coal. India is a small player in the world photovoltaic cells market, yet 69% of its modules are exported. The rest are put to use mainly in telecommunications and lighting homes. Solar PV modules are developed in the industrialised countries despite the fact that their energy efficiency is 15-20% is because of rising fossil fuel costs and the need to contain greenhouse gas emissions. Germany, Spain, Japan, China and the US are the leading PV module makers, with Germany making up almost half the world’s output of about 3,800 MW. China’s PV cell output was 820 MW in 2007, ten times that of India. It is time India broke into the big league, to take advantage of global technological transition. If wind power generation has risen sharply in the last decade to account for 80% of India’s renewable energy output of over 10,000 MW, the next decade could belong to solar. While the installed capacity for wind power is limited close to 8,000 MW, which is little more than 2 MW in the case of grid-connected solar power. 
Photovoltaic systems and power plants have emerged as viable power sources for applications such as lighting, water pumping and telecommunications and are being increasingly used for meeting electrical energy needs in remote villages, hamlets, hospitals and households. PV systems, when used on a large scale, can cut down the need for extending the distribution grids in rural areas and the resultant losses in transmission. Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) water pumping systems are technically proven and have potential of replacing diesel pumping systems, commonly used in un electrified locations for lifting water from shallow depths. The pumps can also bring the benefits of irrigation and drinking water supply in backward areas not served by the exiting grid and where supplying diesel is a problem. It is clear that there is a vast potential for the use of solar photovoltaic technology in the developing countries.
