Question

i)With reference to following points Explain Electric energy generation using solar energy.
a)
Solar photovoltaic cell
b)
Solar thermal power plant​

Answer 1

Answer:

a solar panel works by allowing photons, or particles of light, to knock electrons free from atoms, generating a flow of electricity. Solar panels actually comprise many, smaller units called photovoltaic cells. (Photovoltaic simply means they convert sunlight into electricity.)

Solar thermal power plants are electricity generation plants that utilize energy from the Sun to heat a fluid to a high temperature. This fluid then transfers its heat to water, which then becomes superheated steam. ... Solar thermal power plants are considered active systems.
