Fundamentals Prefi Flashcards
Converts the sunlight in to usable solar energy using N-type and P-type semiconductor
Solar Panel
Defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale
Renewable energy
French physicist discovered the photovoltaic effect while experimenting with a cell made of metal electrodes in a conducting solution. He noted that the cell produced more electricity when it was exposed to light.
Edmond Becquerel
The energy, heat, and light from the sun flow away in the form of .
Electromagnetic radiation
A energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy.
Solar power
Some toxic materials and hazardous products used during the manufacturing process of solar which can indirectly affect the environment.
Photovoltaic systems
First solar collector created by Swiss scientist in 1767, he take an insulated box enclosed with three layers of glass which suck up heat energy.
Horace-Benedict de Saussure
It dependent on sunlight to effectively gather solar energy. Therefore, a few cloudy, rainy days can have a noticeable effect on the energy system. You should also take into account that solar energy cannot be collected during the night.
Solar panels
A collectors concentrate sunlight using mirror or lenses and are generally used for fulfilling heat requirements up to 300 degree C / 20 bar pressure in industries, and for electric power production.
High-temperature
Solar energy is clean. It creates no carbon emissions or other heat-trapping . It avoids the environmental damage associated with mining or drilling for fossil fuels.
greenhouse gases
One of the most common ways to use solar power
Photovoltaic systems
You can generate electricity as
Photovoltaics
One of the most common ways to use solar thermal
heat
A radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies
Solar energy
It makes it possible to collect and analyze massive amounts of data in real time. IoT devices also enable automation. They allow people to gain more control over their environments, health, and even safety.
