A solar cell converts sunlight into electricity via the photovoltaic effect. It is a semiconductor device that functions similar to a battery, creating a voltage and current to power electrical loads. Solar cells are assembled into modules that represent the fundamental power conversion unit of a photovoltaic system. They have various applications including powering satellites, remote equipment where electrical grids are unavailable, and both small and large grid-connected systems. Solar power has advantages over fossil fuels in being renewable, non-polluting, requiring little maintenance and providing free fuel from the sun.
Solar energy is a renewable source of energy derived from the sun. It is clean, renewable, and produces no pollution or greenhouse gases. A solar energy system converts sunlight into electricity or uses it to heat water. Key benefits are that it provides an unlimited, free source of energy and reduces environmental impacts and costs compared to fossil fuels over the long term. However, high initial installation costs are the main disadvantage.
The document provides an overview of solar energy, including its sources and applications. Some key points:

Active solar is directly consumed inactive such as drying clothes and
warming of air
Passive solar
Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the sun selecting
material withfavorable thermal mass or light-dispersing properties and

called solar energy. It radiates more energy in one daythan the world
uses in one year. This energy comes from within thesun itself.Like most
stars, the sun is a big gas ball made up mostly of hydrogenand helium
gas. The sun makes energy in its inner core in a processcalled nuclear
fusion.
It takes the sun’s energy just a little over eight minutes to travel the
93 million miles to Earth. Solar energy travels at the speed of light,
or186,000 miles per second, or 3.0 x 108 meters per second.Only a
small part of the visible radiant energy (light) that thesun emits into
space ever reaches the Earth, but that is more thanenough to supply all
our energy needs. Every hour enough solarenergy reaches the Earth to
supply our nation
’s energy needs for a
year! Solar energy is considered a renewable energy source due tothis
fact.

7. SOLAR WATER HEATINGSolar energy can be used to heat water.
Heating water for bathing,dishwashing, and clothes washing is the
second largest homeenergy cost. Installing a solar water heater can
reduce your waterheating bill by as much as 50 percent.A solar water
heater works a lot like solar space heating. In ourhemisphere, a solar
collector is mounted on the south side of a

makes this technology eminentlypracticable forpowering remote
scientific research platforms. Indeed, numerousexamples of
successfullydeployed systems are already available.The completely

from the smallestautonomous research platforms to infrastructure-
basedsystems.This technology can be limited, however, by annual
fluctuationsin solar insolation, especially atextreme latitudes.Based on
semiconductor technology, solar cells operate on theprinciple that
electricity will flow between twosemiconductors when they are put into
contact with each other and exposed tolight (photons).
Thisphenomenon, known as the photovoltaiceffect, was first discovered
by Edmund Becquerel in 1839.Actualdevelopment of PV technology
began in the 1950s andgained greater impetus through the NASA
spaceprogram during the 1960s. Research continues today at national
laboratories and within private industry,focusing on increasing
conversionefficiencies and mass production strategies to further lower
thecost ofproducing PV modules.
