   Picture of a Solar Compacting Trashcan Solar-powered fountain in a bird bath under shade versus direct sunlight. The following is a list of products powered by sunlight, either directly or through electricity generated by solar panels.

3. Solar panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

   Solar panels are also known as solar cell panels, solar electric panels, or PV modules. Solar panels are usually arranged in groups called arrays or systems . A photovoltaic system consists of one or more solar panels, an inverter that converts DC electricity to alternating current (AC) electricity, and sometimes other components such as ...

4. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   Usually solar panels are exposed to sunlight for longer than this in a given day, but the solar irradiance is less than 1000 W/m 2 for most of the day. A solar panel can produce more when the Sun is high in Earth's sky and produces less in cloudy conditions, or when the Sun is low in the sky. The Sun is lower in the sky in the winter.

5. Photovoltaic power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_power_station

   A key determinant of the output of the system is the conversion efficiency of the solar panels, which depends in particular on the type of solar cell used. [ 87 ] There will be losses between the DC output of the solar panels and the AC power delivered to the grid, due to a wide range of factors such as light absorption losses, mismatch, cable ...

6. Building-integrated photovoltaics - Wikipedia

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

   Transparent solar panels use a tin oxide coating on the inner surface of the glass panes to conduct current out of the cell. The cell contains titanium oxide that is coated with a photoelectric dye. [25] Most conventional solar cells use visible and infrared light to generate electricity. In contrast, the innovative new solar cell also uses ...
