Extractions: The Sun: a mega-powerplant right over there In only one hour the Sun scatters upon the Earth a volume of energy higher than the global consumption of a whole year. It is a free, renewable and non polluting energy. So, why not harness it ?! That's what the photovoltaic technology does! Different from the solar water heaters, currently so common, the photoelectric effect converts the energy of light provided by the Sun into electric power, to feed lamps, TVs, water pumps and desalinators, computers, refrigerators or any other electric equipment. The increasing global demand for energy and the impact of the energy policies on the community and the environment create the need to look for an energy source capable of purvey humanity in an inexhaustible way and serve as basis to a sustainable development. Photovoltaic solar energy is being appreciated more and more, since the environment problems grow worse and the raw materials begin to exhaust, the continuous exploitation of fossil and nuclear fuels becomes intolerable to sustain the "power orgy" that our society is habituated to. How it works Industrial researches in photovoltaics started back in the fifties by space scientists which were looking for an efficient way to supply energy to man made satellites placed in orbit. Since then the photovoltaic technology has been developed in a fantastic way and increases its presence in regions where the grid does not arrive or is unreliable.

Extractions: The initial investment depends on the system size. A convenient factor that takes this into account is the price per peak Watt (Wp) of the system. Hence, a 2000 Watt peak (2kWp) solar energy system costing $16000 in total (i.e. including installation) will correspond to a price of $8/Wp . In some countries, you may be able to obtain a grant or rebate towards the cost of the system, which will obviously improve the economic payback on the purchase. You may have different options to finance the purchase, but each of them has a cost. If you are investing cash then you lose its future interest; if you borrow the m oney then you pay a financing cost. Either way, there is a cost of financing the purchase that can be represented by a so-called "discount rate". The normal cost of borrowing may be reduced if local banks offer low interest loans for the purc
Milestones In The History Of Photovoltaic Energy solar photovoltaic energy, Research, Development and Demonstration Act committed$1.2 billion (current dollars) over 10 years to improve photovoltaic http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/milestones/photovoltaics.html
Extractions: Year Event Photovoltaic technology was born in the United States with the invention of the silicon solar cell at Bell Labs. Federal support for photovoltaic technology was initially tied to the space program, where its use was to provide power for the Vanguard satellite. Spurred by the first oil embargo that year, interest in terrestrial applications of photovoltaics blossomed. By the late 1970s, a program for the development of distributed photovoltaics was established by the U.S. Government at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, focusing on design and demonstration issues for the buildings sector. Energy tax credit The Energy Tax Act of 1978 established a 10-percent investment credit for photovoltaic applications. Solar Photovoltaic Energy, Research, Development and Demonstration Act committed $1.2 billion (current dollars) over 10 years to improve photovoltaic production levels, reduce costs,and stimulate private-sector purchases. Photovoltaic energy commercialization program established a photovoltaic commercialization pathway, accelerating the installation of photovoltaic systems in Federal facilities.

Photovoltaic Energy Introduction. The photovoltaic energy consists on transforming solar radiationinto electricity. Main advantages of the solar photovoltaic energy. http://www.appa.es/dch/fotov_en.htm
Extractions: Introduction The photovoltaic energy consists on transforming solar radiation into electricity . As the rest of renewable sources, the photovoltaic is a clean, inexhaustible, and decentralised energy source. At present, the photovoltaic energy is competitive to supply those locations placed faraway from the electricity grid . In those cases, the photovoltaic energy would supply country houses, street lighting, water pumping, emergency installations, and so on. In Spain -as in many other countries around the world-, there are still non-electrified population centres that would find in the photovoltaic energy the proper solution to their lack of energy supply . A few projects have already been carried out in Spain, and, in all of them when using this source it proved to be reliable and competitive. Thanks to the photovoltaic together with the wind energy, Spain is now well placed in the top of factoring and development ranking. This emerging industry provides with wide possibilities for the exportation market, being, in addition, a good tool for creating new jobs.

Powering The South : Technolgy Descriptions solar photovoltaic energy This webpage is 7 letter pages long While the amountof sunlight available for generating power varies across the South and from http://www.poweringthesouth.org/articles/static/1/1012844367_1012401156.html
Extractions: While the amount of sunlight available for generating power varies across the South and from season to season, the highest value of grid-connected solar electricity as modeled in this study comes from its ability to match summer peak loads. In many parts of the region, peak electricity demand is driven by air conditioning on hot summer days, precisely the time when solar radiation is highest. It has been shown that PVs can deliver firm, dependable power even during extreme peak conditions leading to outage situations, such as the recent power crisis in California. cxxx Since peak loads are expensive for power companies to meet, solar PV systems are sometimes attractive even in areas with below-average amounts of sunlight. This concept is expressed as the effective load-carrying capability (ELCC), which is the probability that PV can contribute to a utilitys capacity to meet its load. A region with comparatively low solar resources may still have a high ELCC if the utility load and solar resource are well matched. The degree of this match is related to the ratio of summer-to-winter peak loadsas summer loads exceed winter loads, the effective load carrying capacity of PV increases (see Figure 4.1 ). cxxxi In the Southeast, the ELCC for PV systems ranges from 50% to 70% of capacity.
