How the solar panel converts the heat energy into elerctric energy?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity.
Solar thermal energy uses the energy from the sun to heat a fluid to a higher temperature, that heated fluid is then transferred and heats water, which produces steam.
The steam is converted to mechanical energy and produces electricity.
Answer:
1) Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity. These cells are made up of semiconductors. Today, semiconductors are usually made up of silicon.
Sunlight hits the cells causing them to release electrons. This creates an electric current, which is then used as electricity.
2) Solar thermal energy uses the energy from the sun to heat a fluid to a higher temperature, that heated fluid is then transferred and heats water, which produces steam. The steam is converted to mechanical energy and produces electricity.
