Speaker: Dr. Mohammad Reza Shahab

Synopsis:

The sun’s energy is the primary source for most energy forms found on the earth. Solar energy is clean, abundant and renewable. Solar energy holds tremendous potential to benefit every nation by diversifying their energy supply, improving the quality of the air we breathe, and stimulating their economy by creating jobs in the manufacturing, installation, teaching and training of solar system. Although solar energy is clean and abundant, it is diffuse and must be captured, concentrated stored, and/or converted to be used in the highest value energy forms.
Tonight I am going to talk about a subject, which is important politically, financially and ecologically, SOLAR ENERGY, with emphasis on Solar Electricity known as Photovoltaic (fo-to-vol-ta-ik) (PV).
