energy. (2.) Another similarity that can be shared between the two systems would be the way the energy is produced. The light reactions of photosynthesis can be compared to the production of electricity by solar cells. This process is called photovoltaics. The electrons in the solar cell capture light energy and are boosted to a high energy level where they are accepted by the wire making up the electrical circuit. The electrons then do work‚ such as to run an electric motor. Then the electrons

carbon dioxide and water molecules combine with the sun’s light creating oxygen and glucose. As far as chemical reactions go this is a win-win for both plants and animals due to the fact that all animals need oxygen to survive. Solar cells or photovoltaic cells are non-mechanical devices‚ usually made of silicon‚ that absorb sunlight to create electricity. In a solar cell energy is absorbed as wavelengths of light. In the light spectrum wavelengths have various levels of energy. We see some of

even better way to get electricity from the sun is achieved by panels called photovoltaic cells. The sunlight is directly converted into electricity by the panels and can run almost anything‚ sunlight providing. These three different techniques show us that there can be many different ways to acquire power other than the conventional and hazardous methods we use today. Passive heating‚ thermal energy‚ and photovoltaics give the world many different ways to reap the benefits of solar power. Passive

at collecting this energy. With the help of green chlorophyll‚ they use light energy to make food – they’re our solar powered food factories. But how can we copy them? Scientists and engineers are working on ways to do this and have developed photovoltaic cells‚ or PV cells for short‚ that can turn sunlight into electricity. Originally developed to power satellites in space‚ PV cells are combined in solar panels and mounted on the roofs of buildings. They can also be used to power devices such

Solar Energy In 1839 Alexander Edmond Becquerel discovered the photovoltaic effect which explains how electricity can be generated from sunlight. He claimed that an electrode submerged in a conductive solution would create an electric current. ‘However even after much research and development subsequent to the discovery‚ photovoltaic power continued to be very inefficient a solar cell were used mainly for the purposes of measuring light. Solar energy is radiant light and

tend to compare the two most popular types‚ Solar CSP and PV since they are commercialised. The main difference between the two is that photovoltaic systems directly convert the solar energy to electricity‚ while concentrated CSP first convert the solar energy into thermal energy and then into electrical energy through a thermal engine. The European Photovoltaic Industry Association‚ EPIA (2012) states that In 2012 rooftop segments represented around 22 GW of the total installations‚ while utility-scale
