21Solar 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 …
22Solar desalination — is a technique to desalinate water using solar energy. Solar desalination in the modern era extends back to the early 1950s when simple solar stills were studied for remote desert and coastal communities [E Delyannis, 2003, Historic background of …
23Solar thermal rocket — Solar thermal propulsion is a form of spacecraft propulsion that makes use of solar power to directly heat reaction mass, and therefore does not require an electrical generator as most other forms of solar powered propulsion do. A solar thermal… …
24Electrical wiring — in general refers to insulated conductors used to carry electricity, and associated devices. This article describes general aspects of electrical wiring as used to provide power in buildings and structures, commonly referred to as building wiring …
25solar cell — a photovoltaic cell that converts sunlight directly into electricity. * * * Any device that directly converts the energy in light into electrical energy through the process of photovoltaics (see photovoltaic effect). Solar cells do not use… …

28Solar wind — For other uses, see Solar wind (disambiguation). The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 1.5 and 10 keV. The stream of …
29Solar cycle — The solar cycle, or the solar magnetic activity cycle, is the main source of periodic variation of all solar phenomena driving variations in space weather. [ [http://www7.nationalacademies.org/ssb/SSB Space weather97.pdf Space Weather: A Research …
30Solar thermal collector — A solar thermal collector is a solar collector specifically intended to collect heat: that is, to absorb sunlight to provide heat. Although the term may be applied to simple solar hot water panels, it is usually used to denote more complex… …
