Abstract

Solar Energy is the energy that is produced by the sun in the form of heat and light. It is one of the most renewable and readily available source of energy. It is available in plenty and free one of the most important of the non-conventional sources of energy. Mainly, Solar energy can be used to convert it into heat energy or it can be converted into electricity. The solar pond is considered the most reliable and economic solar systems. The collecting and storing of the solar energy is in one system. This paper gives an overview of a Mathematical modeling of a salt gradient solar pond and describes the present solar pond Technology in India.
