2. Building-integrated photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building-integrated...

   Building-integrated photovoltaics ( BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, or façades. [ 1] They are increasingly being incorporated into the construction of new buildings as a principal or ancillary source of electrical power ...

3. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

   A rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity -generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure. [ 1] The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, cables, solar inverters battery storage ...

6. 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.

7. 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 .
