2. Applications of photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_photovoltaics

   Solar street lights raised light sources which are powered by photovoltaic panels generally mounted on the lighting structure. 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 ...

3. Building-integrated photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   Transparent solar panels use a tin oxide coating on the inner surface of the glass panes to conduct current out of the cell. The cell contains titanium oxide that is coated with a photoelectric dye. [25] Most conventional solar cells use visible and infrared light to generate electricity. In contrast, the innovative new solar cell also uses ...

   Indoor solar panels have been around for decades. Solar-powered calculators were first introduced in the 1970s, but the limitations of the amorphous silicon cells they rely upon mean they are too ...

6. Solar lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_lamp

   A solar lamp, also known as a solar light or solar lantern, is a lighting system composed of an LED lamp, solar panels, battery, charge controller and there may also be an inverter. The lamp operates on electricity from batteries, charged through the use of a solar photovoltaic panel. Solar-powered household lighting can replace other light ...
