solar power generation
With solar power generation, the energy in sunlight is used to produce electricity, meaning that it is clean and renewable. Main functions are to capture sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) panels, convert solar energy into electrical energy through an inverter, and distribute the power for different uses--from running lights on buses or public buildings, to running motels and hotels. Technological characteristics include PV cells with very high efficiency, solar tracking systems so that sunlight can be fully absorbed no matter what time of day it is directly facing the device, and energy storage systems for 24 hour a day. The application range is wide, from residential or commercial electricity to water pumping and street lighting. This makes it a very versatile answer indeed for electricity needs.
