Solar technologies are categorized as either passive or active depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight and enable solar energy to be harnessed at different levels...
When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell. The PV cell is composed of semiconductor material; the “semi” means that it can conduct electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a good conductor like a metal. There are several different semiconductor materials used in PV cells. When the semiconductor is exposed to light, it absorbs the light’s energy and transfers it to negat...
Learn the basics of solar radiation, also called sunlight or the solar resource, a general term for electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun.
