Solar power
Power Materials
Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect. Using batteries in conjuntion with solar panels allows the power created to be stored and used at a later time. Lithium-ion and lead-acid are two chemical materials that you can most commonly find in batteries used for solar panel systems. Despite the higher price, lithium-ion batteries still enjoy a bigger market share due to their longer lifespan and higher usable capacity.
