Thermodynamic study of solar photovoltaic energy conversion:
The thermodynamic process of converting solar radiation directly into electrical energy, i.e. solar PV energy conversion, has been established, which includes electrical power generation,
Thermodynamic analysis of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion systems includes mainly energy and exergy analysis that provides insight to improve the design and efficiency of the PV system. The solar PV energy conversion system is a method of converting incident solar radiation energy into electrical energy.
Conclusions The thermodynamic studies of solar PV energy conversion systems have been reviewed critically with an up-to-date literature survey which includes the energy, endoreversible, entropy and exergy models.

Rankine, Brayton, and Stirling cycle are commonly used thermodynamic cycles for solar thermal power generation. The integration of thermal energy storage and hybridization of solar thermal energy systems with conventional power generation systems improves the performance and dispatchability of the solar thermal systems.
