2. Solar air conditioning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_air_conditioning

   Another mini split version allows the solar panels to be plugged directly to the outside part of the unit, uses a 310v DC power bus, and offers optional 120v plug-in backup grid power to be leveraged to fill in any lack of solar power available. The advantage of these inverter DC air conditioners is the lower cost, while the disadvantage is ...

3. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   Electric fans used for ventilation may be powered by solar panels instead of mains current. This is an attractive option because once the capital costs of the solar panel have been covered, the resulting electricity is free. If ventilation needs are greatest during sunny weather, a solar-powered fan can be suitable.

4. Solar vehicle - Wikipedia

   PlanetSolar, the world's largest solar-powered boat and the first ever solar electric vehicle to circumnavigate the globe (in 2012). Solar powered boats have mainly been limited to rivers and canals, but in 2007 an experimental 14 m catamaran, the Sun21 sailed the Atlantic from Seville to Miami, and from there to New York. [32]

5. Autovent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autovent

   An autovent is a device for maintaining a greenhouse or conservatory within a range of temperatures. The basic principle is that as greenhouse heats above ambient the air inside becomes lighter, the vent opens when a certain temperature is reached and lets the hot air out - drawing cooler air in from outside.

6. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

   A photovoltaic system, or solar PV system is a 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 directly convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to change the electric current from DC to AC, as well as mounting ...

7. 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.
