Solar Thermal Electricity – Solar Island
By concentrating direct solar light enough heat can be captured to produce steam at 250°C. Steam is used to run turbines to produce large scale electricity.  Solar Island is a Swiss innovation to produce large-scale electricity from concentrated solar heat at a very low cost.

Solar Thermal - Heating
Solar collectors absorb heat which could be transferred to water or air.  By using this technology Solarberg LTD has introduced for rural households, innovative and inexpensive solutions for food dehydration, water disinfection, water and room heating.

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels
PV panels directly convert sunlight into electricity. Inverters are used to convert low voltage electric power from solar panels into 220 volt for immediate use, or charge batteries for later use. While the efficiency of this technology is gradually improving and production cost is declining, at present this technology largely remains out of reach of the masses of developing countries.
