2. Solar lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_lamp

   A solar lamp, also known as a solar light or solar lantern, is a lighting system composed of an LED lamp, solar panels, battery, charge controller and there may also be an inverter. The lamp operates on electricity from batteries, charged through the use of a solar photovoltaic panel. Solar-powered household lighting can replace other light ...

3. Daylighting (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylighting_(architecture)

   Solar street lights are stand-alone power systems, and have the advantage of savings on trenching, landscaping, and maintenance costs, as well as on the electric bills, despite their higher initial cost compared to conventional street lighting. They are designed with sufficiently large batteries to ensure operation for at least a week and even ...

4. Low-energy house - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-energy_house

   Solar-powered exterior security and landscape lighting, with solar cells on each fixture or connecting to a central solar panel, are available for gardens and outdoor needs. Low-voltage systems can be used for more controlled (or independent) illumination, using less electricity than conventional fixtures and lamps.

5. Hybrid solar lighting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_solar_lighting

   A single collector can power up to eight hybrid light fixtures covering 1,000 square feet (93 m 2). The hybrid lights also use artificial lighting which is mixed with the natural sunlight beamed in down the fiber optic chord. Photosensors focus on how much light needs to be generated to add to the natural light in order to keep a room ...

6. Daylight harvesting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_harvesting

   [3] [4] In an open-loop system, the photosensor detects the amount of available daylight only, and can be positioned on the building's exterior wall or roof, or inside the building facing the window or skylight. In a closed-loop system, the photosensor detects the total photometric amount of light, from both daylight and electric sources in the ...

7. 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 ...
