Solar energy is the change of daylight into power, either specifically utilizing photovoltaics (PV), or by implication utilizing concentrated solar power (CSP). Aim of the study is to review various data and model tools for advancing solar energy technology. In this paper general introduction on solar energy was discussed, followed by the technologies of solar energy in which PV and CSP technologies were discussed. In this paper the advancement of solar energy technology in which the various area in which advancement is needed such as PV and CSP, Systems combination, soft costs and Technology to market were discussed and finally the various data and models tools for advancing solar energy technology ranging from various solar resource data to solar models and tools. From this review so far, it can inferred that various data and model tools are readily available by researchers and industrial technologist to advance solar energy to its full potential.
