  2. Floating solar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_solar

    Floating solar. Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, are solar panels mounted on a structure that floats on a body of water, typically a reservoir or a lake such as drinking water reservoirs, quarry lakes, irrigation canals or remediation and tailing ponds. [1][2][3][4][5] The systems can have ...

    Floating photovoltaic on an irrigation pond. Floating solar or floating photovoltaics (FPV), sometimes called floatovoltaics, are solar panels mounted on a structure that floats on a body of water, typically a reservoir or a lake such as drinking water reservoirs, quarry lakes, irrigation canals or remediation and tailing ponds.

  4. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

    Solar panels on the International Space Station. Photovoltaics (PV) is the conversion of light into electricity using semiconducting materials that exhibit the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon studied in physics, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. The photovoltaic effect is commercially used for electricity generation and as photosensors.

  5. Solar pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_pond

    Solar Evaporation Ponds in the Atacama Desert. The largest operating solar pond for electricity generation was the Beit HaArava pond built in Israel and operated up until 1988. It had an area of 210,000 m² and gave an electrical output of 5 MW. [3] India was the first Asian country to have established a solar pond in Bhuj, in Gujarat.

  6. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

    Photovoltaic mounting systems (also called solar module racking) are used to fix solar panels on surfaces like roofs, building facades, or the ground. [1] These mounting systems generally enable retrofitting of solar panels on roofs or as part of the structure of the building (called BIPV). [2] As the relative costs of solar photovoltaic (PV ...

  7. Solar panel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

    A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. The electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.

  8. Photovoltaic power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_power_station

    A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, solar farm, or solar power plant, is a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power. They are different from most building-mounted and other decentralized solar power because they supply power at the utility level, rather than ...

  9. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Solar thermal energy. Roof-mounted close-coupled thermosiphon solar water heater. The first three units of Solnova in the foreground, with the two towers of the PS10 and PS20 solar power stations in the background. Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in ...
