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
