How to Connect Solar Cells
Building a solar panel from individual solar cells is a relatively easy process that's cheaper than purchasing large solar panels from most suppliers. Unless you go hunting for refurbished panels and are comfortable they've been refurbished ... [... more] eHow
Cheaper Solar Cells
Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley have developed what they say is an inexpensive method for making solar cells. It takes advantage of the light-conversion properties of a plastic semiconducting material called P3HT when its ... [... more] Popular Mechanics
Solar Cells The capture and use of solar energy has been growing for many years, but only in recent times have advances in design and manufacture allowed us to see the incorporation of solar energy as a significant player in the renewable energy arena.Solar cells [... more]

Tech Watch: Radar Goliath
The design hasn't been finalized, but the unmanned radar airship will likely use top-mounted solar cells to stay aloft for up to a year. The airship will probably rely on low-speed electric propellers: It's intended to stay in one posi- tion, at ... [... more] Popular Mechanics
Space Shuttle Delivers Solar Array To International ...
Electrical power is the most critical resource for the International Space Station. Space Shuttle Endeavour has arrived at the International Space Station with an electrifying cargo-a massive array of solar cells that will power the orbiting ... [... more] Popular Mechanics
HelioVolt's Thin-Film Cells: Solar Cells on Every Surface
The rising cost of solar-grade silicon sparked a race to find alternative photo-voltaic materials; HelioVolt responded with a thin-film solar cell composed of copper, indium, gallium and selenium. The company's proprietary printing process can ... [... more] Popular Mechanics
Quick Study: Alternative Energy
Enough of the sun's energy reaches the earth's surface to satisfy all our energy needs. The trick is harnessing it in usable form. Solar cells made of silicon convert sunlight into electricity, which is then wired to the power grid. For decades, ... [... more] Reader's Digest
EFFICIENCY
The purpose of this experiment was to determine what angle of incident light striking solar cells produces the most electricity. I became interested in this idea in third grade when we made a solar oven. My hypothesis was that the solar cells ... [... more] Selah School District
