Main Uses of Solar Cells
Solar cells, sometimes called photovoltaic cells, convert energy from the sun directly into electricity. Solar cells produce renewable energy, and are durable, portable and low-maintenance. Introduced in the 1950s, their first use was for communications satellites, and they continue to provide power for many space-based applications. On earth, growing numbers of large-scale solar “farms” generate electricity, augmenting traditional power plants. Solar cells also produce energy in remote settings, powering equipment far from the nearest electrical outlet.
Solar Power Farms
United States government requirements including the Renewable Portfolio Standards have mandated that electric utilities produce a significant fraction of their power through renewable sources such as solar energy. Facilities such as the Agua Caliente Solar Project in Arizona produce electricity for local communities. When its final phase is completed, the power plant will have more than 5 million solar cells, producing a total of 290 megawatts of power. At the time of publication, the United States has 9,360 megawatts of electrical generating capacity from photovoltaic cells.
Off-Grid Power
In addition to producing electrical power for the commercial grid, solar cells see wide use as an off-grid energy source. For example, many traffic, emergency and construction road signs use solar cells for power, reducing the need for gasoline-powered generators for remote and mobile uses.
