Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
The International Energy Agency projected in 2014 that under its "high renewables" scenario, by 2050, solar photovoltaics and concentrated solar power would contribute about 16 and 11 percent, respectively, of the worldwide electricity consumption, and solar would be the world's largest source of electricity. Most solar installations would be in China and India.
Photovoltaics were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to remote homes powered by an off-grid rooftop PV system. As the cost of solar electricity has fallen, the number of grid-connected solar PV systems has grown into the millions and utility-scale solar power stations with hundreds of megawatts are being built. Solar PV is rapidly becoming an inexpensive, low-carbon technology to harness renewable energy from the Sun.

The Art (sometimes stylised as THEART) are an Australian Alternative Rock band based in Sydney. They began performing under the name The Follow in 2004. Tasmanian band leader Azaria Byrne was known as an unsuccessful contestant on the reality television series Popstars.
Early highlights for the band's career have been supporting successful bands such as the Pixies, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Sonic Youth and Thirty Seconds to Mars as late as 2010, however this was marred by the crowd booing and calls to "get off the stage".
As band leader Azaria Byrne enters middle age success has so far eluded him despite media attention resulting from his being cuckolded by the even older fading celebrity Bill Corgan.
The other band members have all been described as "dull" but this could also be a result of the attention seeking behavior of their singer.

Why Don't We Just Put Solar Panels In Space?
Solar cells capture up to 40 percent more energy when they can track the sun across the sky, but conventional, motorized trackers are too heavy and bulky for most rooftops. Now, by borrowing from kirigami, the ancient Japanese art of paper cutting, researchers at the University of Michigan are developing solar cells that may expand efficiency while lowering the weight. Max Shtein, an Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering worked with paper artist Matthew Shlian, a lecturer in the school of art and design, and developed an array of small solar cells that can tilt within a larger panel, keeping their surfaces more perpendicular to the sun’s rays. By designing an array that tilts and spreads apart when the sun’s rays are coming in at lower angles, they raise the effective ar...

How to make free energy solar at home with 100% proof.
There's an energy revolution happening in villages and towns across Africa -- off-grid solar energy is becoming a viable alternative to traditional electricity systems. In a bold talk about a true leapfrog moment, Amar Inamdar introduces us to proud owners of off-grid solar kits -- and explains how this technology has the opportunity to meet two extraordinary goals: energy access for all and a low-carbon future. "Every household a proud producer as well as consumer of energy," Inamdar says. "That's the democracy of energy."

Most people who know of origami think of it as the Japanese art of paper folding. Though it began centuries ago, origami became better known to the world in the 20th century when it evolved into a modern art form. In the 21st century, origami has caught the attention of engineers who are using it to create all sorts of new structures – from collapsible packaging to airbags for cars. Origami has even found its way into space! With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), mechanical engineer Larry Howell and a team of researchers from Brigham Young University collaborated with NASA to design a solar array that can be tightly compacted for launch and then deployed in space to generate power for space stations or satellites. The collaboration began when Howell received an NSF gr...
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Solar energy has been hailed as the future of energy for decades. Finally, solar energy has reached the inflection point where it not only makes technological sense, but also economic sense. Dr. David W. Galipeau is the Harold Hohbach Professor of Electrical Engineering and the Coordinator of the Center for Advanced Photovoltaics and Sustainable Energy; and Electrical Engineering MS and Ph.D. graduate programs at South Dakota State University. He was also the program lead for the Alternative Power Technology (APT) Program supported by the Department of Defense. While at SDSU, he has been the PI or Co-PI on over forty funded research projects, including twelve major NSF awards for over $10 M and eight...

San Diego Electric Bike Expo, February 2016.
Solar Labyrinth was commissioned by Dr. Allan Berger of Bright Eyes and Bushy Tails Veterinary Hospital in Iowa City, IA and designed and fabricated by Anthony Castronovo. The project was an outgrowth of a 40kW solar installation on the roof of the building. The goal of the project was to design a creative solar sculpture that would add to the visual presence of solar power at the site while also creative an exciting work of public art. The ancient Greek myth of the Minotaur became a focus of discussion and the Labyrinth form was the resulting physical embodiment of this ancient story. Each of the 14 panels on the interior of the structure have a different animal surrounded by a sine wave pattern to reference the path of the sun. A Minotaur sculpture will eventually be added to the center ...

Solar Reserve (Tonopah, Nevada) 2014 by John Gerrard is a computer simulation of an actual power plant known as a solar thermal power tower, surrounded by 10,000 mirrors that reflect sunlight upon it to heat molten salts, forming a thermal battery which is used to generate electricity. Over the course of a 365-day year, the work simulates the actual movements of the sun, moon, and stars across the sky, as they would appear at the Nevada site, with the thousands of mirrors adjusting their positions in real time according to the position of the sun. This virtual world is meticulously constructed by the artist, a team of modelers, and programmers, using a sophisticated simulation engine. Simultaneously over a 24-hour period the point of view will cycle from ground level to a satellite view ...
Original title: Here Comes the Sun The sun could easily provide the planet with sufficient energy, if only we are willing to change and to invest in harvesting that solar energy. Even without major breakthroughs we know how to catch the sun's energy. A piece of desert the size of France is enough to fulfill all our current energy needs. So with all the global warming, the political oil dependency, the energy security problem, why don't we convert our oil-society rapidly into a Helio-society? In fact , we are doing so; the only thing is you do not know it....yet. The documentary Here comes the Sun will show that solar stocks are soaring, the desert is our new land of glory, algae in the garden will fuel your car and your roof is a new marketplace for solar real estate managers.
