Residential Solar
Power 2003 Photovoltaic cells convert
sunlight directly into electricity and are made of
semiconductors such as crystalline silicon or various
thin-film materials. Photovoltaics can provide tiny amounts
of power for watches, large amounts for the electric grid,
and everything in between. Concentrating solar power
technologies use reflective materials to concentrate the
sun's heat energy, which ultimately drives a generator to
produce electricity. These technologies include
dish/engine systems, parabolic troughs, and central power
towers. Low-temperature solar collectors also absorb the
sun's heat energy, but the heat is used directly for hot
water or space heating for residential, commercial, and
industrial facilities.
