A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is a semiconductor device consisting of a large-area p-n junction diode, which, in the presence of sunlight is capable of generating usable electrical energy.
However, the solar frequency spectrum approximates a fl body spectrum at ~6000 K, and as such, much of the solar radiation reaching the Earth is composed of photons with energies greater than the band gap of silicon.
Solar thermal panels for domestic hot water or space heating are usually glazed, and the glass tends to reflect some of the light that the PV cell might absorb.

Solar design is the use of architectural features to replace the use of electricity and fossil fuels with the use of solar energy and decrease the energy needed in a home or building with insulation and efficient lighting and appliances.
Solar hot water systems are quite common in some countries where a small flat panel collector is mounted on the roof and able to meet most of a household's hot water needs.
Solar cells (also referred to as photovoltaic cells) are devices or banks of devices that use the photoelectric effect of semiconductors to generate electricity directly from the sunlight.

 Current solar income - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current solar income of the Earth, or an ecozone or ecoregion or any area, is the amount of solar energy that falls on it as sunlight.
Paul Hawken is a more recent advocate of the concept, and views it as central to his notion of a restorative economy.
It remains a popular notion among those who believe that toxic waste and maintenance problems of solar energy devices can ultimately be overcome, or that yields of passive or biological means of gathering and using this energy can be made to approximate those of fossil fuels.

 Electronics:History Chapter 4 - Wikibooks
Solar power Solar power as a direct energy source has been not been captured by mechanical systems until recent human history, but was captured as an energy source through architecture in certain societies for many centuries.
Solar energy per se Since most renewable energy is "Solar Energy" this term is slightly confusing and used in two different ways: firstly as a synonym for "renewable energies" as a whole (like in the political slogan "Solar not nuclear") and secondly for the energy that is directly collected from solar radiation.
One proposal for a solar electrical plant is the solar tower, in which a large area of land would be covered by a greenhouse made of something as simple as transparent foil, with a tall lightweight tower in the centre, which could also be composed largely of foil.

 income
Income, generally defined, is the money that is received as a result of the normal business activities of an individual or a business.
In business and accounting, income (also known as profit or earnings) is, more specifically, the amount of money that a company earns after considering all its costs.
To calculate a company's income, it starts with its amount of revenue, deducts all costs, including depreciation, and the number that results is its income, which may be a negative number.

 Displacement current
Displacement current is a pseudocurrent invented in 1865 by James Clerk Maxwell when formulating what are today known as Maxwell's equations.
To compensate for this difference, Maxwell reasoned that charge is found in electric flux, the change in the electric field; and while displacement current is not a current of electric charge, it produces the same result of generating a magnetic field.
As an applied electric field is increased, the displacement current is stored in the material, and when the electric field is decreased, the material releases the displacement current.

Because the bio-diesel the ship produces is being harvested from current solar energy income, and with current CO uptake, the oil it produces and sells is a completely renewable resource, and burning that oil would merely balance out some of the CO that was sequestered as it was produced.
While toxic refineries should go extinct, the ports, fuel stations, factories and vehicles currently dependent on fossil fuel should be fairly easily converted to transport and run on this clean-grown bio-diesel from the sea.
