Putting solar energy to work - More Than Just Panels


!±8± Putting solar energy to work - More Than Just Panels

Two exceptions, I would like to emphasize here from the beginning, nuclear power and geothermal energy, representing all forms of solar energy in the world. Biomass, wind, waves, biofuels and hydropower are all examples of indirect forms of solar energy. If you are the ones who are not forms of renewable energy look like coal, natural gas, like oil and are actually indirect forms of energy. The reason for this is that they are composed of organic matter derived from the sun.

InOn the other hand, direct forms of solar energy will be used because for us. Some people like to build houses there, skylights (also known as daylight). Let us focus on two that interest us: solar energy and solar thermal systems, in reality, what to produce electricity and heat.

Two ways to capture the thermal energy

The two types of solar thermal systems capture the energy of the sun, active and passive. In active solar heating, solar panels capture the energy of the sunHeat when it is past the collector and transfers the heat in a liquid. The fluid moves through the collector by a fan or a thermostat, can be used immediately or stored for later.

Passive solar systems do some work 'begins in a different way, is the energy of sunlight that enters a building without a thermostat or a fan. It means that if you are inside the house, the heat in the mass of the building and the diffusion of heat conduction, convection and radiation, or even forced, as fans will be saved.

So we know that supply electricity and heat our homes. Most of the houses used for thermal plates are the flat type. Collectors evacuated tube panels are also used, but are not as frequent. The solar collectors or photovoltaic panels or solar or whatever you call them, are all flat-type. You can pot glazed or unglazed styles available. The difference is that the unglazed porcelain are flexible, durable. Whatever you with the semiconductor material of theThe cells must be well protected from moisture. The solar cells are encapsulated between glass companies on the side where the sun hits it, but impractical at the back beside the material vapor.

Flexible solar panels have no protection glass, but they have a transparent, UV protection to prevent damage to cells.

To have passive, active, and all the solar panels home solar energy as in the work.
