  2. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    [1] [2] [3] It is an essential source of renewable energy, and its technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on how they capture and distribute solar energy or convert it into solar power. Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic systems, concentrated solar power, and solar water ...

  3. Alternative Energy Development Board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_Energy...

    The Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) (Urdu: متبادل توانائی ترقیِ بوڑڈ) was an agency of the Federal Government established in May 2003 with the main objective to facilitate, promote and encourage development of Renewable Energy in Pakistan and with a mission to introduce Alternative and Renewable Energies (AREs) at an accelerated rate.

  4. Outline of solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_solar_energy

    Active solar – technologies are employed to convert solar energy into another more useful form of energy (for example, to heat or electrical energy). Heliostat – a device that includes a mirror, usually a plane mirror, which turns so as to keep reflecting sunlight toward a predetermined target, compensating for the Sun's apparent motions in ...

  6. Renewable energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy

    The two most important forms of renewable energy, solar and wind, are intermittent energy sources: they are not available constantly, resulting in lower capacity factors. In contrast, fossil fuel power plants, nuclear power plants and hydropower are usually able to produce precisely the amount of energy an electricity grid requires at a given ...

  7. Solar architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_architecture

    Solar energy is clean and renewable. Solar architecture is designing buildings to use the sun's heat and light to maximum advantage and minimum disadvantage, and especially refers to harnessing solar power. It is related to the fields of optics, thermics, electronics and materials science. Both active and passive strategies are involved.

  8. 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 ...

  9. 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 ]
