Solar power

hypothetical megastructure, originally described by Freeman Dyson

conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity

large-scale solar thermal system using concentrated sunlight and a steam cycle

set of connected photovoltaic cells which absorb sunlight to generate electrical energy

thermal convection power plant

technology that enables capturing and wireless sending of solar energy to Earth

electrical process for maximizing the effectiveness of photovoltaic cells

type of crystal structure

technology used in concentrated solar power stations

systems of solar cell panels installed on a structure that floats on a body of water

distils water with substances dissolved in it by using the heat of the Sun to evaporate water so that it may be cooled and collected, thereby purifying it

storage of heat or cold for periods of up to several months
