Solar roadways are a series of structurally engineered solar panels that can be driven on‚ which would replace asphalt roads. Solar Roadways would collect energy and then distribute it to our homes and businesses in order to replace the need for fossil fuels and better the economy. This past February‚ four students at

Characteristics A solar panel is a collection of many small solar cells spread over a large area. These solar cells work together to provide sufficient energy to power a given item. (Northwestern University) Their creation is a very delicate process which is why many of their advancements did not come until last quarter of the 20th century. In this period‚ advancements in semiconductors and photovoltaic products allowed efficient and cost effective solar panels to be produced. (Solar Panel Info)

Architectural Solar Systems Present day architecture has advanced in many ways. A style of architecture which could prove to be very beneficial to Earth and its people in the future is solar energy architecture; the use of sun to channel energy and maintain a household. Solar energy still seems a mysterious subject to many people. According to Roy Erving in The Architectural Handbook‚ they make it seem as complicated as “putting a man on the moon.” To put it simply most people believe that solar energy

A solar cell (also called photovoltaic cell or photoelectric cell) is a solid state electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Assemblies of cells used to make solar modules which are used to capture energy from sunlight‚ are known as solar panels. The energy generated from these solar modules‚ referred to as solar power‚ is an example of solar energy. Photovoltaics is the field of technology and research related to the practical
