Swimming Pool Solar Panels
Swimming pool solar panels can assist you heat your pool without cost by harvesting the sun rays. Owners of swimming pools are especially advantageous to use solar energy if the system is connected with the solar heating system in the home. Experiments have shown that in this case, you can raise the water temperature at 22 � C above ambient temperature. Any solar pool heating system consists of three main components: solar collector, the filter pump and flow control valve. Source: http://www.storehomesolar.com/swimming-pool-solar-panels/

Ways of Using Solar Energy
Solar energy - energy that is received from the sun and converted into heat or electricity. This - the universal energy source that can be used in many ways. Three main ways of using solar energy: 1. Solar cell - converts sunlight directly into electrical energy. In a sunny climate with a one square meter of solar panel you can get enough energy for ignition of a lamp. The solar panels were originally developed to power satellites.

Multijunction Solar Cells
Multijunction solar cells have long been used in space. Solar cells are well proven in space as a fairly reliable and stable source of energy, capable of running very long time. The primary danger for solar cells in space is cosmic radiation and meteoric dust, causing erosion of the surface of silicon cells and limiting battery life. Multijunction solar cells have multiple layers and have efficiencies higher than single junction cells. They consist of a 3-5 semi conductor for each layer.Source: http://www.storehomesolar.com/multijunction-solar-cells/
