2. Photovoltaic mounting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_mounting_system

   Pole mounts, which are driven directly into the ground or embedded in concrete. Foundation mounts, such as concrete slabs or poured footings; Ballasted footing mounts, such as concrete or steel bases that use weight to secure the solar module system in position and do not require ground penetration. This type of mounting system is well suited ...

3. Double Island Point Light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Island_Point_Light

   At that time the light was converted to 240 V AC and the light source was a 120 V 1000 W tungsten halogen lamp with an intensity of 1,000,000 cd, visible for 26 nautical miles (48 km; 30 mi). [4] The light was finally converted to a solar powered VRB-25 on 9 October 1991, [10] at which point the third order optic apparatus and the lamp were ...

4. Floating ground - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_ground

   Electrical equipment may be designed with a floating ground for one of several reasons. One is safety. For example, a low-voltage DC power supply, such as a mobile phone charger, is connected to the mains through a transformer of one type or another, and there is no direct electrical connection between the current return path on the low-voltage side and physical ground (earth).

5. Reflective surfaces (climate engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_surfaces...

   The albedo of several types of roofs (lower values means higher temperatures). Reflective surfaces, or ground-based albedo modification (GBAM), is a solar radiation management method of enhancing Earth's albedo (the ability to reflect the visible, infrared, and ultraviolet wavelengths of the Sun, reducing heat transfer to the surface).

6. Photovoltaic system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

   A photovoltaic system, also called a PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics.It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and ...

7. Solar street light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_street_light

   A solar street light in British Columbia, Canada. The solar panel is one of the most important parts of a solar street light, as the solar panel can convert solar energy into electricity that the lamps can use. There are two types of solar panels commonly used in solar street lights: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. The conversion rate of ...
