What Is "Photovoltaic Solar Energy?" The term "photovoltaic solar energy" may seem a bit redundant to those who understand the technology – and completely mysterious to those who don't. It's not all that complicated, however.Photos, Photographs, Photon Torpedoes and PhotovoltaicsThe common denominator of that subtitle is "photo." This word, which has come to refer to images taken with a camera or similar device, is simply an old Greek term meaning "light." When combined with another Greek word, grafikos – meaning "image" or "inscription" – we get the word photograph, which means "image from light." A photon is simply a light particle. All due respect to Star Trek fans, it's difficult to know how such an insubstantial particle could be turned into a weapon by itself – and the writers are vague on just how a "photon torpedo" actually is supposed to work. Volts of course are units of electrical energy. Therefore, photovoltaic technology is the science of producing electrical energy directly from light particles.Of course, the original source of those light particles, or photons, is the sun.It's Not All Photovoltaic EnergySome might argue that all energy is...more

Types of Solar Electric Plants With the financial, environmental and human costs of fossil fuels becoming increasingly apparent, the idea of solar electric power is getting more and more attention from average people, despite attempts from many corners to convince the world that solar projects cannot be viable.It's true that there are some serious challenges to overcome before a solar power station can be competitive with its coal or oil-fired counterpart, and solar installations are not going to provide a complete solution to the planet's addiction to carbon-based fuels.Solar energy will, however, be a significant part of a new green energy grid.How Solar Electric Power is GeneratedThe equipment you will find at solar installations produces electricity in one of two ways. Until recently, the most common way involved simply substituting heat produced by the sun for fuels such as coal, oil and gas. If you have ever started a fire using a magnifying glass on a sunny day, you have a good idea of the basic principle of this type of solar energy generation. Sunlight is captured, using various types of mirrors and magnifiers, such as parabolic troughs – long mirrors shaped like...more
