Several solar energies?

Renewable energies except solar electric or thermal (seeforums dedicated below): wind turbines, energy from the sea, hydraulic and hydroelectricity, biomass, biogas, deep geothermal energy ...

Several solar energies?




by hacene240 » 13/11/07, 14:07

Hello
I would like to be enlightened on the two forms of solar energy:
photovoltaic solar energy and solar thermal energy

Thank you in advance :D

Uh should just look a little before asking "stupid" questions about the forum...

Wouldn't that be for a TIPE by any chance? (we quickly recognize the style of the students :D )

There are not only 2 ways to capture solar radiation and convert it into usable energy

from the primary radiation including IR, visible radiation and UV we can invent a multitude of more or less efficient equipment, starting with low-emissive glazing in a house for maximum efficiency (the best even 8)

c koi a stupid question ??
moreover, it is on this forum that I was told that there were "two" solar energies:
_ Photovoltaic solar energy which transforms solar radiation into electricity

_ Solar thermal energy which transforms solar radiation into heat
I wanted to have a little more details

But hey, thank you very much anyway, your link helps me a lot :D

Well, I'll give you my answer.
Imagine that your house is a tree and that your photovoltaic panel is a leaf which does its photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis gives energy to your tree as your panels give to your house.
Solar thermal energy is like when you put your butt on the black leather seat of your convertible in summer : Cheesy:
You can now easily imagine that there is one system much more complex than the other.
