Solar energy is a world-recognized green and pollution-free energy source. Photovoltaic technology based on solar energy has become the focus of new energy development. On this basis, how to improve the energy efficiency of solar energy has become a research hotspot. In this study, the solution method was used, acety-lacetonate was used as the precursor, and the mixture of dodecyl mercaptan (DDT) and oleylamine (OLA) was used as the solvent to obtain CuInS2 nanocrystals with wurtzite structure. Then, the dispersion of organic synthesized CuInS2 nanocrystals was retained, and the organic macromolecules affecting electron transport in the nanocrystals were eliminated. This material was used for the counter electrode of dye-sensitized solar cells. While analyzing the photoelectric characteristics of the nanoelectronic material, the hardware of the photovoltaic solar cell prepared based on the material should be designed, including the selection of the main control unit, the design of the peripheral circuit, the design of the charging and discharging circuit, so as to realize the management of the photovoltaic solar cell. In the test, OLA had an impact on the crystal structure, size, and dispersion of CuInS2 nanocrystals, thereby changing the photoelectric properties of the nanoelectronic materials, which were applied in photovoltaic panels for green buildings. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of CuInS2 nanocrystals after phase exchange in the green build-photovoltaic system was much higher than that of CuInS2 nanocrystals before phase exchange, and even higher than that of CuInS2 nanocrystals calcined at high temperature before phase exchange in the green build-photovoltaic system.

Nowadays decentralized energy supply and the energy security are becoming more involved. We should increase the share of renewable in the energy mix, addition to improve the energy efficiency. Hungary is not an abundance of fossil resources it is particularly important in the materials and energy-saving technologies, waste recovery, increasing the share of environmental energy. Our country has outstanding opportunities many areas for example, solar energy, geothermal energy, so we need to devote more attention to renewables in the future.

<p>The solar energy is fast becoming a different means of electricity resource. Now in world Fossil fuels are seriously depleting thus the need for another energy source is a necessity. To create effective utilization of its solar, energy efficiency must be maximized. An attainable way to deal with amplifying the power output of sun-powered exhibit is by sun tracking. This paper presents the control system for a solar cell orientation device which follows the sun in real time during daytime.</p>

The future of the field of entrepreneurship is bright primarily because of the many research opportunities to make a difference. However, as scholars how can we find these opportunities and choose the ones most likely to contribute to the literature? This essay introduces me-search and a special issue of research-agenda papers from leading scholars as tools for blazing new trails in entrepreneurship research. Me-search and the agenda papers point to the importance of solving a practical problem; problematizing, contextualizing, and abstracting entrepreneurship research; and using empirical theorizing to explore entrepreneurial phenomena.
