2. Cadmium telluride photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_telluride...

   In 2013, First Solar acquired GE's thin film solar panel technology in exchange for a 1.8% stake in the company. [38] Today, First Solar manufactures over 3 gigawatts with an average module efficiency of 16.4% in 2016. [39]

3. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   If one has a source of heat at temperature T s and cooler heat sink at temperature T c, the maximum theoretically possible value for the ratio of work (or electric power) obtained to heat supplied is 1-T c /T s, given by a Carnot heat engine. If we take 6000 K for the temperature of the sun and 300 K for ambient conditions on earth, this comes ...

5. Copper indium gallium selenide solar cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_indium_gallium...

   A copper indium gallium selenide solar cell (or CIGS cell, sometimes CI(G)S or CIS cell) is a thin-film solar cell used to convert sunlight into electric power. It is manufactured by depositing a thin layer of copper indium gallium selenide solid solution on glass or plastic backing, along with electrodes on the front and back to collect current.

6. Air mass (solar energy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_mass_(solar_energy)

   The air mass coefficient can be used to help characterize the solar spectrum after solar radiation has traveled through the atmosphere. The air mass coefficient is commonly used to characterize the performance of solar cells under standardized conditions, and is often referred to using the syntax "AM" followed by a number.

7. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

   Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors. Solar thermal collectors are classified by the United States Energy Information Administration as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors.
