Information Profile @ a
Glance
-
Solar Energy is the solar
radiation that
reaches the earth.
-
Solar Energy can be converted
directly or indirectly into other forms of energy, such as heat
and electricity.
-
Solar Energy is used for heating
water for domestic use, space heating of buildings, drying
agricultural products, and generating electrical energy.
-
Photovoltaic Energy is the
conversion of sunlight into electricity through a photovoltaic
(PVs) cell, commonly called a Solar Cell.
-
The parabolic trough is the most
advanced of the concentrator systems. This technology is used in
the largest grid connected solar-thermal power plants in the
world.
-
A solar power tower or central
receiver generates electricity from sunlight by focusing
concentrated solar energy on a tower-mounted heat exchanger .
-
A solar dish/engine system
utilizes concentrating solar collectors that track the sun on
two axes, concentrating the energy at the focal point of the
dish because it is always pointed at the sun.
-
Solar energy has the potential
to become the major new domestic energy resource in the 21st
century.
