Solar Energy- Light & Heat

What is solar energy?

Solar energy is the radiant energy produced by the Sun. It is both light and heat.

It, along with secondary solar-powered resources such as wind and wave power, account for the majority of the renewable energy on Earth

Efficiency

PV & CPV Panel Efficiency (%):  The conversion efficiency of a PV cell is the proportion of sunlight energy that the cell converts to electrical energy.

LIGHT Efficiency: Useful light that makes it into the spaceHeat, Glare, High Contrast can be a problem.

Update on the Positive Effects of Light in Humans

Joan E. Roberts, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry

Light, Sunlight

The right light (Blue wavelengths) on the Retina stimulates the hypothalamus, this results in activity in the:

• pituitary (growth, blood pressure, reproduction),

• pineal (sleep/wake), • adrenal (stress) and • thyroid (metabolism)glands.Daylight does more than make us feel good, sunlight changes

wavelengths from sunrise to sunset setting our rhythm.
