Energy plays a vital role in driving economic growth, as it serves as the primary input required for various economic activities. It is a crucial factor in enhancing economic productivity and fostering industrial development. Energy can be regarded as the fundamental necessity for the modern economy. Solar energy, a renewable source of energy, possesses the potential to generate heat or produce electricity. The Earth's surface harbors an immense abundance of solar energy, far exceeding the current and future energy demands of the world. In the 21st century, solar energy is anticipated to gain increasing popularity as a renewable energy source. However, an increase in the share of solar energy could potentially destabilize the grid. To address the challenges of grid instability, particularly in remote areas, BIM (Building Information Modeling) and GIS (Geographic Information System) can be effectively employed in microgrid planning based on data.

BIM and GIS are utilized to evaluate alternative solutions and employ big data analytics in the design and management of solar electrical systems, adhering to planning requirements and asset management. The integration of BIM and GIS information systems for microgrid planning offers several appealing benefits, including reduced planning time and cost.

The present book focuses on the advancements in technology for harnessing solar energy and the complexities involved in utilizing different modes of this inexhaustible renewable energy source. This book is intended to be a valuable resource for researchers, academics, technologists, innovators, and industry experts engaged in the fields of solar energy, artificial intelligence, and smart grids.
