Photosynthesis and Solar Energy Harnessing Compared

Introduction

The sun is a very good source of energy. Therefore, it has been used as a handy resource that is a never-ending source. The sun provides constant energy in large amounts. In nature, organisms such as plants are able to harvest a part of this energy through photosynthesis, but human ingenuity has also devised a system with photovoltaic cells. This energy is utilized by plants, through the process of photosynthesis, to perform metabolic activities.

The paper considers the energy that comes in the form of solar radiation on ...
