Solar energy generators

Construction-Plants Infrastructure Solar Energy Generation... 

Energy from the sun is typically more affordable than wind power for individual residences. Currently photo voltaic cells needed for solar power are far too costly to be used for the national electrical grid. Solar energy generation capacity in Armenia is currently around 650 MW, but estimates for future capacity are as high as 3,500 MW. 

Solar Energy - Electromagnetic energy transmitted from the sun (solar radiation). The amount that reaches the earth is equal to one billionth of total solar energy generated, or the equivalent of about 420 trillion kilowatt-hours. 

They can be used for the design of the future applications i.e., as smart materials, to produce climate walls to regulate internal temperature, in solar energy generation systems, in activated glazing systems which can become transparent or opaque, and to produce earthquake-proof buildings. 

Energy a vast increase in the potential of solar energy generation is envisioned, for example.

These installations are concentrating solar power facilities, using parabolic trough with single-axis tracking. They occupy a low-priority patch of land.
