Concentrated Solar Energy
Compared to solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power, CSP provides a more continuous source of electricity. The heat energy concentrated in the CSP plant can be stored and used to generate electricity when needed, day… Read More »Concentrated Solar Energy
Photovoltaic Solar Energy
An important way for solar cells is to replace silicon with cheaper organic polymers or plastics. These polymers or plastics are cheaper and more flexible, but are also less energy efficient. A new type of… Read More »Photovoltaic Solar Energy

Thermal Solar Energy
To collect light energy from the sun, solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light directly into electricity. Solar/thermal systems collect and concentrate sunlight to generate the high-temperature heat needed to generate electricity. Unlike… Read More »Thermal Solar Energy
Water Heating Solar Energy
The upwardly inclined surface above 15 degrees north latitude maximizes the inflow of solar energy in winter and provides uniform solar energy throughout the year; this inclination angle may be the best choice for solar… Read More »Water Heating Solar Energy
