2. Solar-powered calculator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_calculator

   The first solar-powered (non-scientific) calculators available in the late 1970s included the Royal Solar 1, the Sharp EL-8026, and the Teal Photon. Scientific solar-powered calculators appeared in 1982. Solar calculators use liquid crystal displays, as they are power-efficient and capable of operating in the low-voltage range of 1.5–2 V.

3. Global Solar Atlas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Solar_Atlas

   The Global Solar Atlas (GSA) is a free, online, map-based application that provides information on solar resource and photovoltaic power potential globally. It features the online interactive map tools, simplified photovoltaic (PV) power calculator, reporting tools and the extensive download section. It is intended to provide policy makers ...

4. Solar power in the United States - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United...

   In 2023, utility-scale solar power generated 164.5 terawatt-hours (TWh), or 3.9% of electricity in the United States. Total solar generation that year, including estimated small-scale photovoltaic generation, was 238 TWh. [2] As of the end of 2023, the United States had 179 gigawatts (GW) of installed photovoltaic (utility and small scale) and ...

5. Solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power

   Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Solar panels use the photovoltaic effect to convert light into an electric current. [ 2 ] Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and ...

6. Solar energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

   Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight to a hot spot, often to drive a steam turbine. Photovoltaics (PV) were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to remote homes ...

7. Panel generation factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_generation_factor

   Panel generation factor. Panel generation factor (PGF) [1] is used while calculating the size of solar photovoltaic cells. It is a varying factor depending upon the climate of the site location (depending upon global geographic location). For example, in Thailand it is 3.43, in EU countries it is 2.93, etc. This factor is used in calculation of ...
