Knowledge fuels change - Support energypedia!
For over 10 years, energypedia has been connecting energy experts around the world — helping them share knowledge, learn from each other, and accelerate the global energy transition.
Today, we ask for your support to keep this platform free and accessible to all.
Even a small contribution makes a big difference! If just 10–20% of our 60,000+ monthly visitors donated the equivalent of a cup of coffee — €5 — Energypedia would be fully funded for a whole year.
Is the knowledge you’ve gained through Energypedia this year worth €5 or more?
Your donation keeps the platform running, helps us create new knowledge products, and contributes directly to achieving SDG 7.
Thank you for your support, your donation, big or small, truly matters!

Solar power is the result of converting sunlight into electricity by the use of different solar electric technologies. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV) and various experimental technologies, or indirectly with concentrating solar thermal power.
Photovoltaics (PV) is the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells for energy production by converting Sun energy (sunlight, including sun ultra violet radiation) directly into electricity using the photovoltaic effect.
Since solar power is intermittent, it must be combined either with storage (batteries, working fluid or other energy sources) to provide continuous power.
Henceforth, different components used in solar electric technologies are listed:
- Photovoltaics
- Solar Cells and Modules
- Module Mounting
- Wiring and Fitting
- Batteries
- Charge Controllers
- Lamps and Electric Appliances
