Basic Introduction of Solar Power Science, and use renewable Source of Energy, Unlimited Energy from Sun, Increase Carbon Point, and Use to Increase Environmental Dis-balance.
7. Sunlight focused on heat transfer fluid (HTF),
which then runs steam turbine
8.
9. Basic process by which a
photovoltaic cell converts
absorbed sunlight into
electricity
“Photons” knock electrons
free from the silicon
structure, freeing them to
enter electric current and
power a “load” (like a light
bulb)
