2. Solar-powered pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_pump

   A windpump replaced by a solar-powered pump at a water hole in the Augrabies Falls National Park. [Notes 1] This solar water pump up to 3.7 kW is useful for farmers.Solar-powered pumps run on electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels or the radiated thermal energy available from collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity- or diesel-run water pumps.

3. Crystalline silicon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystalline_silicon

   Crystalline silicon or (c-Si) is the crystalline forms of silicon, either polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si, consisting of small crystals), or monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si, a continuous crystal). Crystalline silicon is the dominant semiconducting material used in photovoltaic technology for the production of solar cells .

4. List of solar-powered products - Wikipedia

   Picture of a Solar Compacting Trashcan Solar-powered fountain in a bird bath under shade versus direct sunlight. The following is a list of products powered by sunlight, either directly or through electricity generated by solar panels. Solar air conditioning; Solar balloon; Solar charger. Strawberry Tree; Solar chimney; Solar-powered waste ...

5. Floating solar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_solar

   The hybridization of solar photovoltaic with pumped storage is beneficial in rising the capability of the two plant combined because the pumped hydroelectric plant can be used to store the high but unstable amount of electricity coming from the solar PV, making the water basin acting as a battery for the solar photovoltaic plant.

6. Solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell

   An amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar cell is made of non-crystalline or microcrystalline silicon. Amorphous silicon has a higher bandgap (1.7 eV) than crystalline silicon (c-Si) (1.1 eV), which means it absorbs the visible part of the solar spectrum more strongly than the higher power density infrared portion of the spectrum.

7. Multi-junction solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-junction_solar_cell

   In silicon, this accounts for another 10% of the power. However, the dominant loss mechanism is the inability of a solar cell to extract all of the power in the light, and the associated problem that it cannot extract any power at all from certain photons. This is due to the fact that the photons must have enough energy to overcome the bandgap ...
