Solar Power, Photovoltaics, Energy Storage

Photovoltaics are used to convert sunlight into electricity, also the use of lenses or mirrors can be used to concentrate sunlight along with a tracking system to create the sunlight into a small beam. Have you known about 72v lithium battery? Conversion with Photovoltaics is done by the Photoelectric effect. Solar power has great potential, but does not supply much of the world's needs.
There exist many different technologies of photovoltaics, such as polycrystalline silicon and amorphous cells.
It is still unknown which of all the types will be the most favored choice.
Solar cells were limited until the 1970's due to the high cost. Another drawback has been the high cost of installation, which also has been decreasing over the recent years.

CONCENTRATING SOLAR POWER
The lenses or mirrors along with the tracking system are used to focus sunlight into a small beam.
There are several types of mirrors and lenses used, but all are used to heat up fluid, which is used for power generation or storage.
PHOTOVOLTAICS
This solar cell converts the light energy into electric current through the photoelectric effect. Solar cells have been in use since the 1880"s, the early types used selenide in place of copper oxide, which did not convert nearly as much sunlight into electric current. The early cells were not very efficient and very expensive, but led to the research of where we are today.
ENERGY STORAGE
Concentrating solar power is not a type typically used in a home environment, so we will talk about photovoltaic cell storage. Do you know 36v solar charge controller? Rechargeable batteries are the most common source of storage. With the use of a grid tied system the excess electricity can go back to the transmission grid for a credit on what you do not use. Normally the credits roll over from month to month with an annual surplus settlement.
