The Sun is our greatest energy source: powerful, lasting, reliable, and available all over the world. Every hour the sunlight that reaches the earth is greater than the amount of energy used by every person on the planet in an entire year.
Photovoltaics, a versatile and flexible technology, can be designed to meet almost any need in practically any location. In space and in air, on land and at sea, photovoltaics produce energy when and where it is needed.
The term photovoltaic is derived by combining the Greek word for light, photos, with voltaic, named for Alessandro Volta, a pioneer in the study of electricity. Thus, a solar photovoltaic (PV) cell is one that converts sunlight - as opposed to sun heat - to electricity.
PV cells perform this conversion without any moving parts, noise, pollution, radiation, or maintenance. PV cells are made of a semiconducter material, typically silicon (from beach sand, an abundant resource), which is treated chemically to create a positive charge layer and a negative charge layer. When sunlight strikes a PV cell, an electron is dislodged. These loose electrons are gathered by wires attached to the cell, forming an electrical current. The more cells, the greater the current and voltage. A number of PV cells laid side-by-side form a rectangular module; several modules together form an array. PV modules sold commercially range in power output from about 5 watts to 300 watts, and produce a direct current (DC) like the current from a car's battery.
PV systems are already part of our lives. The smallest systems power calculators and wrist watches. Larger systems provide electricity for water pumps, highway signs, communications equipment, satellites, mobile homes, medical purposes (to power medical equipment, water purifiers, and refrigerators holding vaccines), navigation buoys, streetlights, and even for lighting homes and running appliances.
Stand-alone photovoltaic applications, whether for remote buildings, service applications or island power supplies, represent about 90% of installed PV power today. Stand Alone PV systems provide power when and where it is needed, without the need for a utility grid. Batteries are included to provide energy storage to operate loads during the night and during cloudy or stormy weather. The solar module(s) recharge the batteries when average or good weather returns. PV modules and batteries are sized to meet the power requirements of the particular load. If Alternating Current (AC) power is desired, as in an off-grid remote home, a DC-AC inverter is required. For most Stand Alone applications, a PV system is the most cost-effective alternative to providing power. There are over 25,000 homes in California today that are off-grid and powered primarily by photovoltaics.
