Solar etymology:
According to the definition of “Power”, there is no such thing “Solar Power”<!– [if IE 8]>//img.tfd.com/m/html5.js<![endif]–>
Definitions of “Power”:
“Power” as a derivative of “Work”:
According to the definition of “Energy” there is no such thing as “Solar Energy”
Energy is a thermodynamics property
According to definition of “panel” there is no such thing as “Solar Panel”
“Solar Power”, “Solar Energy” & “Solar Panel” all are sales gimmick for manufactured Photovoltaic cell units using fossil fuels
What is a Photovoltaic cell (commonly and wrongly referred to as “solar panels”)
A photovoltaic cell (PV cell) is a specialized semiconductor diode that changes visible light into direct current (DC). Some PV cells can also change infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation into the unidirectional flow of electric charge (DC current)
working of photovoltaic cell (PV cell) relies on Heat (thermal Energy) Transfer & Radiation
Heat (thermal energy) Transfer is an important science in engineering
Any viable system for electric power generation has to satisfy four conditions:
Using manufactured photovoltaic cell (PV cell) (manufacturing process uses fossil fuels) fails all four conditions stated above.
Photovoltaic cell (PV cell) manufacturing processes wholly & solely depends on fossil fuel http://goo.gl/DkEeIC
Processes used in production of Photovoltaic cell (wrongly referred to as solar panels) are wholly & solely dependent on using fossil fuels, & have hazardous toxic by-products which have to be disposed of safely.
A company like Qatar Solar Technologies (QSTec) can produce 8,000 tonnes per annum Polysilicon for export to the world disguised under false banner of renewable energy using processes listed below which use fossil fuels
Processes used for manufacturing Photovoltaic cell (PV cell) are:
a) Polysilicon Chemical Vapour Deposition –
Trichlorosilane (TCS) synthesis http://goo.gl/14lOVn Purified trichlorosilane (TCS) production http://goo.gl/NA8Py5
Siemens reactor http://goo.gl/VRE3Ps

b) Vent Gas Recovery and Converter Polysilicon production
c) Silicon Tetrachloride (STC) to TCS Polysilicon production
