51Solar power satellite — A solar power satellite, or SPS or Powersat, as originally proposed would be a satellite built in high Earth orbit that uses microwave power transmission to beam solar power to a very large antenna on Earth. Advantages of placing the solar… …
52Copper indium gallium selenide solar cells — Copper indium gallium selenide (CuIn1 xGaxSe2 or CIGS) is a direct bandgap semiconductor useful for the manufacture of solar cells. Because the material strongly absorbs sunlight, a much thinner film is required than of other semiconductor… …
53Constant voltage method — is a type of MPPT algorithm.[1] This method makes use of the fact that the ratio of maximum power point voltage and the open circuit voltage is 0.76.[2] It is the simplest MPPT control method.[3] Algorithm The operating point of the PV array is… …
54Organic solar cell — An organic photovoltaic cell (OPVC) is a photovoltaic cell that uses organic electronics a branch of electronics that deals with conductive organic polymers or small organic molecules[1] for light absorption and charge transport. The plastic… …
55Timeline of solar cells — The timeline of solar cells begins in the 1800s when it is observed that the presence of sunlight is capable of generating usable electrical energy. Solar cells have gone on to be used in many applications. They have historically been used in… …
56Renewable energy — Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm, at the entrance to the River Mersey in North West England …
57Watt-peak — (Wp) is a measure of the nominal power of a photovoltaic solar energy device under laboratory illumination conditions. Related units such as kilowatt peak or kilowatts peak (kWp) and megawatts peak are also used, and in the context of domestic… …
58Darro Solar Park — Darro Solar Park, also referred to as Solarpark Darro, is a 5.8 MWp photovoltaic power plant located in Darro, Spain. There are a total of 29,964 solar panels on 710 dual axis trackers, which follows the Sun throughout the day. The solar panels,… …
