2. Solar vehicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_vehicle

   A concentrated solar vehicle uses stored solar energy to run a heat engine, such as Rankine, Stirling or Brayton cycle, of the piston and crank type directly powering the vehicle or a free-piston linear generator (FPLG) powering a hybrid electric car system. [1] The term "solar vehicle" usually implies that solar energy is used to power all or ...

   Stella Lux (2015 evolution) solar-powered family car prototype. Stella and its successors Stella Lux, Stella Vie and Stella Era are a series of solar racing family cars, built for the World Solar Challenge in Australia, sofar winning its Cruiser Class all four times it was held – in 2013, 2015, 2017 and in 2019.

4. Load balancing (electrical power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_balancing_(electrical...

   Vehicle-to-grid is a system under development allowing electric cars to provide power to the grid at times of high demand, low supply from e.g. wind and solar power and therefore high prices, and charge the car again when the price is lower, based on the energy need the car owner has defined in the car settings (such as need for long distance ...

5. Solar car - Wikipedia

   The Dell-Winston School Solar Car Challenge is an annual solar-powered car race for high school students. The event attracts teams from around the world, but mostly from American high schools. The race was first held in 1995. Each event is the end product of a two-year education cycle launched by the Winston Solar Car Team.

6. Golf cart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_cart

   Not only does the solar power take the cart off the electric grid, it also increases the driving distance. Solar conversion kits have been available for golf carts and low-speed vehicles (LSV) for several years. [6] These kits range from low wattage solar battery chargers to a 410-watt array on an 8-passenger transport cart.

7. Home energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Energy_Storage

   With an increasing amount of consumers choosing to implement solar panels that feed energy solely to their home and home batteries, grid defection has continued to grow. As the number of people of grid increases, the cost of the grid will be spread across fewer consumers making, "the incentive to go off-grid only grow". [12]

8. 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 ...

9. Applications of photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_photovoltaics

   The solar array of such off-grid PV system charges a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night. Solar street lights are stand-alone power systems, and have the advantage of savings on trenching, landscaping, and maintenance costs, as well as on the electric bills, despite their higher initial cost compared to ...
