Solar panels have gained popularity as a way of generating electricity. Reports indicate that the solar energy uptake quadrupled in a span of one year between 2009 and 2010 in the US. Sixty percent increase in solar energy uptake was noted in countries such as Australia, Germany, India, Spain, Italy and China over the same period (Pavlovic, Radonjic and Milosavljevic 3896). Solar panels use technologies to convert sunlight into either thermal or electrical energy. The size of a solar panel depends on whether it is for utility or distributed scale. The distributed scale systems produce less than one megawatt and are installed on rooftops of different facilities. Utility scale systems are located in large geographical areas and generate more than one megawatt (Hernandez, Easter and Murphy-Mrisacal 768). Solar devices can be classified into solar thermal collectors and solar electricity.
