However, zero-carbon pumped solar thermal systems use solar electricity which is generated onsite using photovoltaics to pump the fluid and to operate its control electronics.
Developing countries where many villages are often more than five kilometers away from grid power have begun using photovoltaics.
She commissioned two forward-looking New York architects to design the exhibition and to create two original structures using photovoltaics in new ways.
Most of the homes use solar photovoltaics, with a few complemented by wind turbines for electric power.
In 2006, McAfee founded Solargen Energy, a vertically integrated solar farm company using thin-film photovoltaics.
The plant is using photovoltaics and has a peak output of 250 kW and an estimated annual output of 325,000 kWh.
Centralized integration is about using photovoltaics to complement the output of conventional power stations, using techniques such as'peak shaving'.
Deployment of spacecraft and satellites using photovoltaics might be seen as the first small steps towards building a Dyson swarm (see below for differences between these sub-types).
Then project was sold to K Road, and redesigned using photovoltaics.
This demonstrates a CO2-free internal logistics system using photovoltaics, electrolysis and a hydrogen drive at the Fronius Sattledt site.
