2. ETFE - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETFE

   An example of its use is as pneumatic panels to cover the outside of the football stadium Allianz Arena or the Beijing National Aquatics Centre (a.k.a. the Water Cube of the 2008 Olympics) – the world's largest structure made of ETFE film . The panels of the Eden Project are also made from ETFE, and the Tropical Islands have a 20,000 m 2 ...

3. Solar panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_panel

   A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV) cells. PV cells are made of materials that produce excited electrons when exposed to light. These electrons flow through a circuit and produce direct current (DC) electricity, which can be used to power various devices or be stored in batteries.

4. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   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.

   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]

6. 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 ...
