- Solar Energy - Department of Energy
There are two main types of solar energy technologies—photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) On this page you’ll find resources to learn what solar energy is; how you, your business, or your community can go solar; and find resources for every step of the way
- Solar energy - Wikipedia
Solar technologies are categorized as either passive or active depending on the way they capture, convert and distribute sunlight and enable solar energy to be harnessed at different levels around the world, mostly depending on the distance from the Equator
- Solar energy | Definition, Uses, Examples, Advantages, Facts - Britannica
Solar energy is radiation from the Sun that is capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity The total amount of solar energy incident on Earth is vastly in excess of the world’s energy requirements and could satisfy all future energy needs if suitably harnessed
- Solar explained - U. S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
People have used the sun's rays (solar radiation) for thousands of years for warmth and to dry meat, fruit, and grains Over time, people developed technologies to collect solar energy for heat and to convert it into electricity
- Solar power - Wikipedia
Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power
- How Does Solar Work? - Department of Energy
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage
