“…Hence, by seeing the present scenario it is require to develop the device which enhance the use of solar energy by harnessing it from the sunlight and converting it into the electrical energy. The solar energy is available in abandon in the environment and is free of cost [3], [4]. The solar energy is easily extracted from the sun coming to the earth by capturing the sun radiation through the solar panel [5], [6].…”

This paper proposes a design of solar tracking system for capturing maximum amount of solar energy by rotating the solar panel. From sun rise to sun set, the sun changes its direction several times due to which the static solar panel fails to capture maximum solar energy throughout the day. Therefore, it is required to develop a system that is capable of generating electrical energy by making use of maximum amount of solar energy. This paper discloses about the rotatable solar tracking system capable of rotating along the sun direction for tracking maximum amount of solar energy. This advanced technology not only utilize the solar energy more effectively but also improves the efficiency of whole system.

Recent advance in nanotechnology leads to develop a variety of metal chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs) such as binary metal chalcogenides QDs and alloyed QDs. The average diameter of the QDs lies in the range of 2 to 10 nm which contains almost 10 to 1000 atoms. Due to the quantum confinement effect, size-dependent photoemission characteristics, photo-optical and photovoltaic properties, QDs have a wide variety of applications. It has attracted more attention in light-emitting diodes, medicines, quantum computers and energy devices. As an important part of quantum dot sensitized solar cells (QDSCs), QDs play an eminent role to improve photoconversion efficiency (PCE). This review article mainly focuses on the influence of metal chalcogenides QDs on the photovoltaic performance of liquid junction QDSCs, including parts and working principle of QDSC, photovoltaic parameters of QDSC, types of metal chalcogenide QDs, synthesis methods of metal chalcogenide QDs, optoelectronic properties of metal chalcogenide QDs, efficient deposition method of metal chalcogenide QDs sensitizer and its photovoltaic performance. We finally made conclusions and suggestions for future research to improve the PCE. This article will give more information about the variety of QDs and it is helpful to the researchers for making efficient QDSCs.
