“…In a world that tends towards the exploitation of renewable energy resources, while thinking practically and gradually of the exhaustion of fossil fuels, Algeria is highly called to be up to date because of its natural potential in this field [1][2][3][4][5]. Renewable energy is known for its advantages such as cleanliness and low cost of exploitation for a lifetime of 25 years of electricity production [6,7]. In addition, it helps to avoid greenhouse gases and pollution, and the big advantage is that it is inexhaustible [8,9].…”

Solar energy is a renewable type, clean, and inexhaustible which is sufficiently available on the Algerian territory. The energy received daily on a horizontal surface of 1 m2 is in the order of 5 kWh over almost the whole Algerian territory; the duration of sunshine surpasses 2000 hours annually and can reach 3900 hours on the highlands and the Sahara. The importance of this work is based on exploiting solar energy to produce electricity. This study is based on the experimental exploitation of solar energy using solar tree’s prototype suggestion. This new model is focused to replace the leaf of a tree by the solar cell, starting by examining the solar field and physical phenomenon related with it; the description of cell photovoltaic comes after; and finally, the dimension of the solar system and the experimental studies are virtually released in the University of M’sila. In this work, a prototype of new artificial solar tree is proposed experimentally by using material available in the local market: 25 solar panels, metal support, electrical queues, regulator, and battery. The results highlight a power improvement in the case of the proposed new model (solar tree) compared to the traditional one provided (solar panel), for the specified time range between 8 am and 2:30 pm. On the other hand, the traditional model values improve if the time dimension is extended from 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm. This is due to the temperature of the region and the presence of interstellar spaces between the cells of the solar tree.

“…Finding clean energy sources is one of the biggest challenges for humanity in the 21st century and renewable energy systems (RESs) are considered as a solution for mitigating climate change [5,6]. PV power is currently one of the fastest growing power-generation technologies at the worldwide level, mostly driven by technological improvements that reduced costs and government policies supportive of renewable energy [7,8].…”

“…Therefore researchers are looking for more environment friendly sources of energy. In earlier studies, (Al-Badi, 2013;Jwo et al, 2013) reported that solar energy is the cleanest form of energy. The proper utilization of solar energy is the major challenge to the researchers in the era of modern science and technology particularly to protect global warming and fossil fuel depletion (Chiaro et al, 2008;Jangra et al, 2012).…”

This study represents the improvement of stability of solar cell characteristics above room temperature. We have analyzed theoretically the temperature dependence of three major characteristics of solar cell using Ge and InN based quantum dot in the active layer of the device structure. Among the major characteristics of solar cell we have investigated the rate of change of open circuit voltage, short circuit current and the output power of solar cell with respect to temperature. Numerical results obtained are compared. The comparison results reveal that the rate of change of open circuit voltage, short circuit current and output power have been reduced significantly using InN based quantum dot in the active layer of the solar cell. Hence the improvement in stability of these characteristics above room temperature has been achieved by using InN based quantum dot in the active layer of the solar cell.
