2. Building-integrated photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building-integrated...

   Aluminum-framed photovoltaic modules were connected to, or mounted on, buildings that were usually in remote areas without access to an electric power grid. In the 1980s photovoltaic module add-ons to roofs began being demonstrated. These PV systems were usually installed on utility-grid-connected buildings in areas with centralized power stations.

3. Aluminum fencing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_fencing

   The amount a fence panel can rack is determined by the size of hole punched on the horizontal rails to accommodate pickets. The fence can then adjust to the slope of your land, meaning there will be no gaps at the bottom of the fence on uneven or sloping ground. This will accommodate all but the steepest grades. Aluminum fences are made in a ...

4. Solar power tower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_tower

   A solar power tower, also known as 'central tower' power plant or 'heliostat' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun's rays upon a collector tower (the target).

6. Applications of photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_photovoltaics

   The largest solar power system flown in space is the electrical system of the International Space Station. To increase the power generated per kilogram, typical spacecraft solar panels use high-cost, high-efficiency, and close-packed rectangular multi-junction solar cells made of gallium arsenide (GaAs) and other semiconductor materials.

7. Rooftop solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooftop_solar_power

   Solar panels produce carbon free electricity when irradiated with sunlight. Often made of silicon, solar panels are made of smaller solar cells which typically have six cells per panel. Multiple solar panels strung together make up a solar array. Solar panels are generally protected by tempered glass and secured with an aluminum frame. [11]
