  2. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    Solar energy is the radiant energy from the Sun's light and heat, which can be harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar electricity, solar thermal energy (including solar water heating) and solar architecture.

  3. Outline of solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_solar_energy

    The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to solar energy: Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun. It has been harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar energy technologies include solar heating, solar photovoltaics, solar thermal electricity and solar ...

  4. American Solar Energy Society - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Solar_Energy_Society

    The non-profit advocates for sustainable living and renewable energy issues in education, research, and policy. Based in Boulder, Colorado, ASES is the American affiliate of the International Solar Energy Society. ASES publishes Solar Today magazine, [2] organizes the National Solar Tour, [3] and organizes the National Solar Energy Conference.

  5. Maximum power point tracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking

    Power/Voltage-curve of a partially shaded PV system, with marked local and global MPP. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), [1] [2] or sometimes just power point tracking (PPT), [3] [4] is a technique used with variable power sources to maximize energy extraction as conditions vary. [5]

  6. 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 ]

  7. Photovoltaic effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_effect

    The first demonstration of the photovoltaic effect, by Edmond Becquerel in 1839, used an electrochemical cell. He explained his discovery in Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences, "the production of an electric current when two plates of platinum or gold immersed in an acid, neutral, or alkaline solution are exposed in an uneven way to solar radiation."

  8. Solar power forecasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_forecasting

    Solar power forecasting is the process of gathering and analyzing data in order to predict solar power generation on various time horizons with the goal to mitigate the impact of solar intermittency. Solar power forecasts are used for efficient management of the electric grid and for power trading.

  9. Solar activity and climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

    The finding that solar activity was approximately the same in cycles 14 and 24 applies to all solar outputs that have, in the past, been proposed as a potential cause of terrestrial climate change and includes total solar irradiance, cosmic ray fluxes, spectral UV irradiance, solar wind speed and/or density, heliospheric magnetic field and its ...
