2. Solar lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_lamp

   A garden solar lamp A child in Zambia studying by the light of a lamp charged by solar power during the day. 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.

3. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   Another method of evaluating coolness is the solar reflectance index (SRI), which incorporates both solar reflectance and emittance in a single value. SRI measures the roof's ability to reject solar heat, defined such that a standard black (reflectance 0.05, emittance 0.90) is 0 and a standard white (reflectance 0.80, emittance 0.90) is 100. [44]

4. Passive solar building design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_solar_building_design

   In passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer. This is called passive solar design because, unlike active solar heating systems, it does not involve the use of mechanical and electrical devices.

5. Daylighting (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylighting_(architecture)

   The human eye's response to light is non-linear, so a more even distribution of the same amount of light makes a room appear brighter. The source of all daylight is the Sun. The proportion of direct to diffuse light impacts the amount and quality of daylight. [1] "Direct sunlight" reaches a site without being scattered within Earth's atmosphere.

6. 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 ...

7. Solar Garden Lights - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Garden_Lights

   Solar lights may be found on the market in a variety of shapes, sizes, types, designs, and features to meet the needs and preferences of each consumer. Solar-powered landscape lighting does not require extra wiring or an electrical connection because it is fueled by the sun. This makes landscape lighting conceivable in remote areas of the ...
