Accumulation of waste and their management is a serious concern all around the world. In addition to that, electricity generation from thermal energy and nuclear energy etc. consumes fossil fuels which leads to their depletion. It also contributes in environmental pollution. Our project aims at better management of the accumulating waste and reducing the use of fossil fuels that are on the verge off depletion, also mitigating the pollution caused during producing energy from them. We burnt solid waste and generated electricity out of them by absorbing the heat produced from burning waste onto a solar panel or heat panel. This process works on the principle of photovoltaic effect. Smoke produced on the consequence of burning waste is not released into the air rather passed through a pipe and filtered the carbon content out of a carbon filter. Thus helping in reducing the waste by generating energy from them, which is also a reliable source because waste will be produced as long as human race exist. Pollution is also reduced by filtering the harmful carbon. Key Words: Solar panel, Carbon filter, Photovoltaic effect

“…Unfortunately, in conventional photovoltaic systems, not only a higher efficiency in the DC-DC converter is sought, but also other aspects related to the efficient extraction of energy by the solar cells, due to this a large part of the effort devoted by the academic and scientific area for this type of applications, is focused on finding solutions to aspects related to environmental conditions, orientation of the module, shading, dirt, misalignment, monitoring of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT), increase in reliability among some others [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81].…”

Power semiconductor devices are essential from the operation point of view, size, efficiency and cost, these components are used in a myriad of applications, providing features that make them an important part of the system in which they are operating. This document analyzes and compares the basic structure, properties, design aspects, as well as temperature performance, stability and switching losses, present in devices on silicon (Si), silicon carbide (SiC) and new generation devices fabricated in gallium nitride (GaN) applied in renewable energy systems. The main objective is determinate the viability of the new generation components, which present a superior performance in view of an increase in efficiency, conductivity, decreases in switching losses, lower resistances and parasitic capacitances as well as higher operating frequency range. Therefore demonstrating the GaN components are a strong and viable candidate to solve some of the problems present in renewable energy systems.
