2. Soiling (solar energy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soiling_(solar_energy)

   Solar panel design: Solar panels can be designed to minimize the impact of soiling. This includes the use of smaller solar cells (e.g. half-cells), panels without frames (avoiding dirt collection at the edges), or alternative electrical configurations (e.g. more bypass diodes that allow current to pass the soiled parts of the panel).

3. Ketura Sun - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketura_Sun

   Israel's first commercial solar field, Ketura Sun. Ketura Sun is Israel’s first commercial solar field. Built in early 2011 by Arava Power Company on Kibbutz Ketura, it covers 20 acres (8.09 hectares) and is expected to produce to 4.95 megawatts. It has the first automatic solar panel cleaning system in the world.

4. Solar panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

   Manual cleaning tools are by far the most prevalent method of cleaning, most likely because of the low purchase cost. However, in a Saudi Arabian study done in 2014, it was found that "installed robotic systems, mechanized systems, and installed hydraulic systems are likely the three most promising technologies for use in cleaning solar panels ...

5. 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 ...

6. List of solar-powered products - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_solar-powered_products

Strawberry Tree; Solar chimney; Solar-powered waste compacting bin; Solar cooker; Solar dryer; Solar-powered fan; Solar furnace; Solar inverter; Solar keyboard; Solar ...

7. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

   Solar panels produce carbon free electricity when irradiated with sunlight. Often made of silicon, solar panels are made of smaller solar cells which typically have six cells per panel. Multiple solar panels strung together make up a solar array. Solar panels are generally protected by tempered glass and secured with an aluminum frame. [11] The ...

8. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

   To be explicit, consider the power (P) generated by a solar cell under "one-sun" illumination at the earth's surface, which corresponds to a peak solar irradiance Q=1000 Watts/m 2. [21] The cell power can be expressed as a function of the open-circuit voltage (V oc ), the short-circuit current (I sc ), and the fill factor (FF) of the cell's ...

9. Solar water disinfection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection

   Solar water disinfection, in short SODIS, is a type of portable water purification that uses solar energy to make biologically-contaminated (e.g. bacteria, viruses, protozoa and worms) water safe to drink. Water contaminated with non-biological agents such as toxic chemicals or heavy metals require additional steps to make the water safe to drink.
