In this video from NOVA's Energy Lab, learn about the benefits and limitations of converting the Sun's light and heat into electricity. Animations show how two solar power technologies-photovoltaic cells and concentrated solar power systems-convert the Sun's energy into.
The evolving social and policy climate have placed new explicit requirements to integrate energy equity and justice strategies in modern electric grid design to achieve a fair and just distribution of environmental, economic, and social benefits within the energy system.
Below, you can find resources and information on the basics of solar radiation, photovoltaic and concentrating solar-thermal power technologies, electrical grid systems integration, and the non-hardware aspects (soft costs) of solar energy.
Solar panels generate direct current (DC), but your home appliances need alternating current (AC). Here's where inverters perform their electrical alchemy: Modern 3D visualization solves what schematics can't - showing real-time electron movement through inverter components.
What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power.
A wind turbine turns wind energy into electricity using the aerodynamic force from the rotor blades, which work like an airplane wing or helicopter rotor blade.
