Title: Compare PV and traditional power sources.
Course: Fundamentals of Power Generation (20904-I) > Section: Exploring Photovoltaics

Comparison should include

- direct generation (e.g., watches, calculators)
- residential generation
- distributed generation
- utility-scale generation.

Comparison should also examine the efficiencies and losses and how DC power is inverted and conditioned.

Process/Skill Questions:

- When is solar energy used for direct output?
- Where might traditional power sources be more efficient?
