- Solar Panel
- ___________SOLAR POWER
- _______- tracks the sun so the angle of incidence stays the same
- The angle of incidence changes daily and ________ so optimum position for panels changes considerably too
- Parabolic reflectors- a mirror system that reflects incoming light onto a ______ point
- Clouds, smoke and dust can reduce the _______ of the insolation and scatters light.This is solved by parabolic reflectors
- _______- tracks the sun so the angle of incidence stays the same
- __________ SYSTEMS
- Passive solar heating is when you can absorb sunlight without the use of additional equipment
- Building design can also increase ________ solar gains by having large windows etc.
- Hot water can be produced in solar panels
- Passive solar heating is when you can absorb sunlight without the use of additional equipment
- PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
- Sunlight is absorbed by the surface layer of the photovoltaic cell and displaces _______ that can drive electrical appliances
- Amorphous photovoltaic cells are less efficient than _______ cells.
- They are much cheaper though, unless ______ is a problem, they are the more effective choice
- Mass production has reduced costs so photovoltaic cells are now more used
