Professor Bo Zhao of the University of Houston has reported on the development of a new form of solar energy collection technology called thermophotovoltaics (STPV) which has achieved record-breaking efficiency levels.
[pdf] A flat plate array is a type of solar panel system that consists of multiple flat plate collectors arranged in an array. The flat plate collectors are connected to each other in series or parallel to increase the overall efficiency of the system.
[pdf] Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. It is necessary for life on Earth, and can be harvested for human uses such as electricity. Solar energy is any type of energy generated by the sun. Solar energy can be harnessed directly or indirectly for human use.
