solar energy
Harnessed solar radiation has many applications, including solar-panel heating and electricity produced with solar cells and solar furnaces.
flat-plate solar collector
Device that collects solar radiation and heats a coolant, which in turn will be used in residential settings to heat water or the home.
solar-cell system
Unit that is usually made up of 36 solar cells, each of which produces a voltage of 0.5 V; it is used to power low-voltage devices.
production of electricity from solar energy
Heating the coolant directly with solar rays turns water into steam, which then turns the turbo-alternator to produce electricity.
