Industry:Energy
A photovoltaic cell that can convert light directly into electricity. A typical solar cell uses semiconductors made from silicon.
Industry:Energy
A component of an active or passive solar system that absorbs solar radiation to heat a transfer medium which, in turn, supplies heat energy to the space or water heating system.
Industry:Energy
An estimate used in calculating cooling loads of the heat gain due to transmitted and absorbed solar energy through 1/8"-thick, clear glass at a specific latitude, time and orientation.
Industry:Energy
Solar heating or hot water systems provide two basic functions: (a) capturing the sun's radiant energy, converting it into heat energy, and storing this heat in insulated storage tank(s); and (b) delivering the stored energy as needed to either the domestic hot water or heating system. These components are called the collection and delivery subsystems.
Industry:Energy
The amount of radiation, both direct and diffuse, that can be received at any given location.
