Solar power

Solar power

Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.

光起電力効果

エネルギー; 太陽光発電

This process is stimulated when a photovoltaic cell is exposed to sunlight. As the photovoltaic cell absorbs sunlight, added energy causes electrons to break away. The fallen electrons move through ...

吸収体

エネルギー; 太陽光発電

The part of a photovoltaic device that takes in radiation (sunlight).

太陽光発電を集中

エネルギー; 太陽光発電

A category of solar power that uses reflective surfaces or lenses to direct a concentrated amount of the solar radiation to either a photovoltaic surface or to a device used to first heat liquids, ...

放射照度

エネルギー; 太陽光発電

When solar radiation comes into contact with a surface, by direct means or through diffusion or reflection.

日射

エネルギー; 太陽光発電

The measure of radiation that comes into contact with a surface at a given time; describes irradiance that occurs only through striking a surface directly.
