2. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

   A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

3. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

   In California PV reached grid parity in 2011, which is usually defined as PV production costs at or below retail electricity prices (though often still above the power station prices for coal or gas-fired generation without their distribution and other costs). [87] Grid parity had been reached in 19 markets in 2014. [88] [89]

4. Solar cell - Wikipedia

   A full area metal contact is made on the back surface, and a grid-like metal contact made up of fine "fingers" and larger "bus bars" are screen-printed onto the front surface using a silver paste. This is an evolution of the so-called "wet" process for applying electrodes, first described in a US patent filed in 1981 by Bayer AG . [ 160 ]

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_grid

   One conceptual plan of a super grid linking renewable sources across North Africa, the Middle East and Europe. [18] A super grid or supergrid is a wide-area transmission network that is intended to make possible the trade of high volumes of electricity across great distances. It is sometimes also referred to as a mega grid.

8. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

   A rooftop photovoltaic power station (either on-grid or off-grid) can be used in conjunction with other power components like diesel generators, wind turbines, batteries etc. These solar hybrid power systems may be capable of providing a continuous source of power.

9. Photovoltaic effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_effect

   The first demonstration of the photovoltaic effect, by Edmond Becquerel in 1839, used an electrochemical cell. He explained his discovery in Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences, "the production of an electric current when two plates of platinum or gold immersed in an acid, neutral, or alkaline solution are exposed in an uneven way to solar radiation."
