How Does Solar Work?

The amount of sunlight that strikes the earth's surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world's energy consumption for a full year. Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage.

Solar Radiation Basics

Solar radiation, often called the solar resource or just sunlight, is a general term for the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. Solar radiation can be captured and turned into useful forms of energy, such as heat and electricity, using a variety of technologies. However, the technical feasibility and economical operation of these technologies at a specific location depends on the available solar resource.

Photovoltaic (PV)

What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power. These cells are made of different semiconductor materials and are often less than the thickness of four human hairs. In order to withstand the outdoors for many years, cells are sandwiched between protective materials in a combination of glass and/or plastics.

Perovskite solar cell

A perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a type of solar cell that includes a perovskite-structured compound, most commonly a hybrid organic–inorganic lead or tin halide-based material as the light-harvesting active layer.[1][2] Perovskite materials, such as methylammonium lead halides and all-inorganic caesium lead halide, are cheap to produce and simple to manufacture.The raw materials used and the possible fabrication methods (such as various printing techniques) are both low cost.
End-of-Life Management for Solar Photovoltaics

End-of-Life Management for Solar Photovoltaics

End-of-life management for photovoltaics (PV) refers to the processes that occur when solar panels and all other components are retired from operation. There are millions of solar installations connected to the grid in the United States, which means there are hundreds of millions of PV panels in use. Most PV systems are young—approximately 70% of solar energy systems have been deployed in the past five years.

Solar Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the protection of interconnected electric power systems from digital attacks. Solar is one of the many electric generation technologies used on the grid, contributing to large-scale generation in the form of solar farms and utility-scale installations, as well as small-scale distributed energy resource (DER) generation in the form of rooftop installations, storage systems, and microgrids. Solar is just one type of DER technology, which produce and supply electricity on a small scale and areas

Solar Workforce Development

Strong federal and state support, declining system costs, and growing public and private sector demand for clean energy have all contributed to a rapid increase in solar deployment over the past decade. According to the Solar Futures Study, in order to achieve the Biden-Harris administration’s goal of an inclusive, equitable transition to a fully decarbonized electricity system by 2035, the solar workforce will need to grow from approximately 250,000 workers in 2021 to between 500,000 and 1,500,000 workers by 2035. These jobs should be accessible to workers from all backgrounds, provide competitive wages and benefits, and offer opportunities for union membership.

Systems Integration

For most of the past 100 years, electrical grids involved large-scale, centralized energy generation located far from consumers. Modern electrical grids are much more complex. In addition to large utility-scale plants, modern grids also involve variable energy sources like solar and wind, energy storage systems, power electronic devices like inverters, and small-scale energy generation systems like rooftop installations and microgrids. These smaller-scale and dispersed energy sources are generally known as distributed energy resources (DER).
Equitable Access to Solar Energy

Equitable Access to Solar Energy

The cost of solar energy systems has fallen dramatically over the past decade. As solar electricity has become more affordable, residential solar adoption has increased, with more than 2 million solar energy systems currently operating across the United States as of 2019. Despite decreases in system costs, many U.S. households still lack access to affordable solar electricity, especially renters, homeowners who can’t access affordable financing, and those without suitable roof conditions or adequate sun exposure.
