OverviewBackgroundHistoryElectricity productionThermal energyEconomic developmentEnvironmental impact
By the 1960s solar power was the standard for powering space-bound satellites. In the early 1970s, solar cell technology became cheaper and more available ($20/watt). Between 1970 and 1990, solar power became more commercially operated. Railroad crossings, oil rigs, space stations, microwave towers, aircraft, etc. Now, houses and businesses all over the world use solar cells to power electrical devices with a wide variety of uses. Solar power is the dominant technology in the renewable energy field, prim
What color light do solar panels use?
Blue light, with its higher energy, dislodges electrons in the solar cells, generating electricity. Red light, while less effective, still contributes to the energy conversion process.
Solar energy conversion
By the end of the century, scientists created a special type of solar cells that converted upwards of 36% of the sunlight it collected into usable energy. These developments built tremendous momentum for
Solar Energy Conversion
Solar energy conversion refers to the process of transforming solar energy, which includes infrared, visible, and UV light, into usable electrical energy, often through mechanisms such as photovoltaic
