Welcome to My Lot. I'd like to know a bit more about the question you are asking so I can understand more thoroughly & am able to help you better. Do you mean direct applications like using a solar oven or solar cooker which does not require converting sunlight into DC electricity & then convert that into AC electricity to power an electric stove? Are you working in the alternative energy field or looking for an appropriate study path & wish to find out what is most in demand in certain locations? Most renewable energy comes from natural occurrences that occur only for brief periods of time & are often unpredictable. Because our power needs are 24/7, we need a source that can supply us with lots & lots of power 24/7. Otherwise we need a storage device like a battery & have it trickle charged by tiny amounts of energy from solar panels or wind installations. These are all extremely expensive processes & ideas for the tiny little bit of power returned to the system. They are also high-maintenance ideas, extremely inefficient & have parts that require frequent, expensive & difficult replacement.
