Reworking this section. Each category of classification needs tobetter beexplanations betterand definedshort withyet a shortdiverse list of examples. [[User:Mrshaba]]
 
The hybrid ligthing example doesn't quite fit into the single transformation scheme of direct solar. Transformation might not be the correct word but I can't think of a more accurate term. Conversion? Process? [[User:Mrshaba]]
 
Removed the light mill from the direct solar list. Light mills move because sunlight heats the gas around the vanes rather than being driven directly by photons (as with the solar sail example) thus the effect is indirect. I did not transfer the light mill into the indirect section because it seemed like a miscellaneous case covered under the atmospheric phenomena umbrella. [[User:Mrshaba]]
 
Reworked the Active and Passive solar explanations. with good results. I bulleted and expanded the examples of passive solar. [[User:Mrshaba]]
 
Worked on the Concentrating and Non-concentrating classifications with mixed results. The current version is choppy but I will continue streamlining and add sources when time permits. [[User:Mrshaba]]
