Solar PV Power in Industry
Some of the most important applications of solar energy are
nearly invisible.
Telecommunications, oil companies, and highway
safety equipment all rely on solar power for
dependable, constant power, far from any power lines.
Call
Boxes: look at any California roadside call
box, and you'll see a solar panel. California
standardized on the use of solar power and cellular
phones to eliminate the need for any buried cable
connections to these phones. Given the sometimes
literally life-saving nature of these call boxes,
dependability is a must.
Roadside signs:
solar power is used for many lighted highway signs,
eliminating the need for diesel generators.
Telecommunications installations: when you
need a microwave repeater on a remote mountaintop, the
last thing you want to do is run a power line up to
it. For reliable power, many communications repeaters
in remote areas use solar.
Siemens Solar alone has shipped over 130
megawatts of modules since its inception, and the use
of solar power is projected to grow at 10-15% per year
from now until the year 2010. This is over three to
five times the rate of growth of the Gross National
Product of the United States!
Given this growth, solar power will be a much larger
part of our lives in 2010 than it is today. Homes
could incorporate solar power at the time that they
are built, dramatically reducing both the cost of
buying solar power and the cost of utility bills. New
communications technology may make living in remote
areas a practical reality given the availability of
solar power. Mobile uses will undoubtedly increase.
And industrial applications will continue to enjoy the
versatility of solar power
