12Solar sail — Solar sails (also called light sails or photon sails, especially when they use light sources other than the Sun) are a proposed form of spacecraft propulsion using large membrane mirrors. Radiation pressure is about 10 5 Pa at Earth s distance… …
13Solar power in the United States — is the largest available energy source for the United States, although in 2006 it accounted for less than 0.1% of electricity generation. Renewable resources (solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, biomass, and waste) provided nearly 12 percent… …
14Solar shingles — (or photovoltaic shingles) are photovoltaic cells designed to look like conventional asphalt shingles. There are several varieties of solar shingles, including shingle sized solid panels that take the place of a number of conventional shingles in …
15Solar — means appertaining to the Sun, our planet s star. Solar also has other meanings. Related to energy * Active solar * Passive solar ** Passive solar building design * Solar cell, a device that directly creates electricity from solar energy * Solar… …
16Solar micro-inverter — A solar micro inverter: the Enphase M190 in the process of being installed. The ground wire is attached to the lug and the panel s DC connections are attached to the cables on the lower right. The AC parallel trunk cable runs at the top (just… …
17Solar 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… …
18Solar panel — Photovoltaic module redirects here. For the heat collectors, see Solar thermal collector. An installation of solar panels in rural Mongolia …
19Solar inverter — Internal view of a solar inverter. A solar inverter or PV inverter is a critical component in a Photovoltaic system. It performs the conversion of the variable DC output of the Photovoltaic (PV) modules into a utility frequency AC current that… …
20Solar panels on spacecraft — Spacecraft operating in the inner solar system usually rely on the use of photovoltaic solar panels to derive electricity from sunlight. In the outer solar system, where the sunlight is too weak to produce sufficient power, radioisotope thermal… …
