One of the largest solar power generators in the world is the SEGS (Solar Energy Generating Systems) which are located in the Mojave Desert of California. Consisting of nine huge solar power plants their total installed capacity is 354 MW. Around 90% of the electricity output is generated by the sunlight and natural gas is used only when the sunlight is insufficient to meet the power demand. » Read more: The CSP Solar Power Plants

July 24th, 2009Solar Inverter
June 3rd, 2009Photovoltaic cell converts sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. This type of electricity will not be suitable for household application because for home appliance we normally use alternating current (AC). A solar inverter is needed to do the current inversion. » Read more: Solar Inverter

Storing the Solar Panels Electricity
May 18th, 2009Solar panels need no time to convert sunlight into electricity. As soon as they receive photons from the sunlight electrons contained within the semiconductor will be activated by the photons energy and break the barrier, creating a flow of DC current. The electricity generating process is very straight forward and done quietly because there are no moving parts involved. They also emit zero by-products during the process. » Read more: Storing the Solar Panels Electricity
