Energy 101: Solar PV

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems can generate clean, cost-effective power anywhere the sun shines. This video shows how a PV panel converts the energy of the sun into renewable electricity to power homes and businesses.

Great to see that Avasva has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

[@taylorhorne1046]

Thank you for helping me with my astronomy homework

[@DrAriaKhan]

What's it's like to see astronomy as your textbook 🙃

youre awesomees

Using the Sun to save money and energy! Nice video.

[@howardlitson9796]

Unfortunately, weather was not always sun. Using the sun to save money and energy are fit to thailand and South East Asia country and India and Myanmar and Cambodia. These countries are belong to Tropical climate. Average temperature was 30 celsius at night. Daylight was high temperature weather. Average temperature was 40 celsius to 45 celsius. There was always summer one years four seasons for South East Asia and Thailand and Cambodia and India and Myanmar.

I find it cool how the U.S. Department of Energy responds to comments about high school science projects.

Hi Devon Maclaren! We love it when people benefit from our videos! Especially when it comes to school projects! We are happy people are finding our videos helpful!

this seems useful

super vidéo !

[@Akira-di6rc]

Cause l don't really know how a solar thingy works at all
thxs!

sweet!

[@davea0511]

Oh my goodness. Why does everyone get this wrong? The top layer is N-type, doped with phosphorus (extra electrons) ... thus making it negative (NOT POSITIVE). The bottom layer is P-type, doped with boron (missing electrons) ... thus making it positive (NOT NEGATIVE). Google "p-type is positive" and you'll get thousands of hits, "p-type is negative" give what ... 9? 99% of wafers are P-type ... this is the substrate, the bottom, which thus is POSITIVE. Gee whiz videographers ...get it right!

Thanks

Countries near the equatorial can consider solar panels power. Such as middle african countries and South East countries and Mexico middle America countries. One years four seasons are always summer and sun. Average temperature was 30 celsius to 35 celsius.

Need to discuss what happens at night, i.e. is the energy stored during the day? How? Also need to discuss how to convert solar cell DC voltage into AC voltage, and how to interface with home/business existing AC power.

Distributed Generation and Storage is the future of 21st century self empowerment. Visit www.ThepowerToChoose.US "native Voltage DC" is more efficient for LED lighting and all things digital.

[@gbstele]

In India, we are surviving on AC, if we convert total AC into DC using SOlar and DC power we can reduce Global warming of Paris agreement can achieve early, pl let us know which contry is best example of using DC power for all house hold, business and HT

good movie

[@oama2009]

Is it safe to reflect the sun back to the sun at a rate much more than is naturally seen ? Like if we doubled the ocean size, would that have an effect on the world ?

You can see my actual install on my house at www.solarenergynevada.com Please email me if you have any questions. Solar panels are incredible.

Would this be called a reliable or valid resource? (highschool research)

[@maribelhutchinson5174]

+Andrew Wei (SmokingPacman) Go to inplix page if you'd like to know how to build it. Great solutions for everyone I think

[@GettingFreeEnergy]

Giving people incentives may make them gravitate to using alternative energy like "wind" or "solar". There is a company tha's doing just that, helping millions financially, while helping the planet. Watch this video on North American Power at Getting Free Energy (Google it) narrated by Deepak Chopra. It's powerful, world changing stuff.

[@SpinyNormanDinsdale]

I may be naive in asking this. But is full spectrum solar close to a reality?

[@danagoodman2563]

This post is from a while ago, but there is a research team at University of Michigan exploring solar from more of the spectrum, and actually working on transparent solar cells. Check out ubiquitous.energy/

My Solar array doesn't work at night I guess its not so great. I guess I need 7,000 dollars worth of batteries.

[@davidwise1243]

By now the batteries would have been paid for.

"Enough energy from the sun hits the earth every hour to power the planet for an entire year." No! No! Most of it falls on the ocean.

[@Jemalacane0]

@themurdo21 I don't see people building large scale power plants on the oceans. If you built one in the middle of the ocean, the power line loss to shore would be pretty huge. Except for hydro and geothermal, "renewable" energy is a dead end. Nuclear, geothermal, hydro, and limited natural gas for the win.

[@DaximusRavenStrong]

"anywhere the sun shines" Is that supposed to be a joke, telling naysayers to shove it where the sun doesn't shine?

[@evgenmozolevski281]

You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from INPLIX .
