  2. Artificial photosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_photosynthesis

    Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that biomimics the natural process of photosynthesis.The term artificial photosynthesis is used loosely, referring to any scheme for capturing and then storing energy from sunlight by producing a fuel, specifically a solar fuel. [1]

  3. Sources of electrical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_of_electrical_energy

    The sun's rays can be used to produce electrical energy. The direct user of sunlight is the solar cell or photovoltaic cell, which converts sunlight directly into electrical energy without the incorporation of a mechanical device. This technology is simpler than the fossil-fuel-driven systems of producing electrical energy.

    Solar hot water in Australia – heated using natural energy from the sun. Solar hot water – Solar inverter – or PV inverter, converts the variable direct current output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequency alternating current that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local, off-grid electrical ...

    Huc enzyme means ‘sky is quite literally the limit for using it to produce clean energy,’ researchers say

  6. Solar energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy_conversion

    The use of selenium was highly inefficient, but it proved Becquerel's theory that light could be converted into electricity through the use of various semi-metals on the periodic table, that were later labelled as photo-conductive material. By 1953, Calvin Fuller, Gerald Pearson, and Daryl Chapin discovered the use of silicon to produce solar ...

  7. Theory of solar cells - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_solar_cells

    Photons in sunlight hit the solar panel and are absorbed by semi-conducting materials.; Electrons (negatively charged) are knocked loose from their atoms as they are excited. . Due to their special structure and the materials in solar cells, the electrons are only allowed to move in a single directi

  8. Solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

    Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light into an electric current . [ 2 ]
