How Solar Energy Powers Your Home and Commercial Spaces?
Understanding Solar Energy Photons , or little light packets , are the energy-carrying particles in sunlight. These photons are captured by solar technology and transformed into useful energy using two primary methods: Photovoltaics Cells: Photovoltaic cells used in solar panels allow sunlight to be directly converted into electrical power. Direct current (DC) power is produced by excited electrons flowing through the cells in response to sunlight. After that, inverters transform this direct current (DC) electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity that works with our appliances and houses. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP): Mirrors are used in CSP systems to focus sunlight onto a receiver that has a heat-transfer fluid inside of it. This concentrated heat can be used for many industrial processes that need high temperatures, or it can be used to power steam turbines to create energy.
