2. Ivanpah Solar Power Facility - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility

   The solar power facility under construction in August 2013. The Ivanpah Solar power project was built on 6 square miles (16 km 2) of public land in the south central Mojave Desert. [ 62] Project construction was temporarily halted in the spring of 2011 due to the suspected impacts on desert tortoises. [ 63]

3. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

   Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat (solar thermal energy), which drives a heat engine (usually a steam turbine) connected to an electrical power generator [2] [3] [4] or powers a thermochemical reaction. [5] [6] [7] As of 2021, global installed capacity of concentrated solar power stood at 6.8 GW. [8]

4. Solar-powered Stirling engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_Stirling_engine

   NASA patented a type of solar-powered Stirling engine on August 3, 1976. It used solar energy to pump water from a river, lake, or stream. The purpose of this apparatus is to “provide a low-cost, low-technology pump having particular utility in irrigation systems employed in underdeveloped arid regions of the earth…[using] the basic principles of the Stirling heat engine“.

5. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

   Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. Thermophotovoltaic ( TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons. A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.

6. Space-based solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power

   Space-based solar power ( SBSP, SSP) is the concept of collecting solar power in outer space with solar power satellites ( SPS) and distributing it to Earth. Its advantages include a higher collection of energy due to the lack of reflection and absorption by the atmosphere, the possibility of very little night, and a better ability to orient to ...

7. Solar-cell efficiency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-cell_efficiency

   The usable power output could thus drop from 70% of the V OC x I SC product to 50% or even as little as 25%. Vendors who rate their solar cell "power" only as V OC x I SC, without giving load curves, can be seriously distorting their actual performance. The maximum power point of a photovoltaic varies with incident illumination.
