Hello Everyone! Today we will talk about Solar Energy. You may be wondering or already know....What is Solar Energy?
Solar energy is radiant heat or light that is produced from the sun. This energy is in the form of solar readiation, which makes the production of solar electricity. It has a range of ever-revolving technology that includes solar heating, solar thermal energy, solar architecture etc.
There are 2 main types of solar energy technologies:
The first one is presented is... Solar Thermal - solar thermal energy is the conversion of solar radiation into thermal energy. Thermal energy is carried by air, water, or other fluid is commonly used directly, for space heating, or to generate electricity using steam. Solar thermal is commonly used for hot water systems. Solar thermal electricity is typically designed for large scale power generation.
Solar Photovoltaic - converts sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic cells. PV systems can be installed on rooftops, integrated into building designs and vehicles, or scaled up to megawatt scale power plants. Pv systems can also be used in conjunction with concentrating mirrors or lenses for large scale centralised power.
