A metal dish is used as the framework of a solar panel because the sun heats the metal, heating the water inside
What provides the best source of power to sustain life support systems in space?
in space they use solar panel to get power.
How do you store solar power?
You can store solar power with the help of solar panel. You can connect the solar panel with a copper and multistrand wire. It can be used for making electromagnet by connecting the wire with the metal. Written by Shubhayu Bhattacharya

If solar power absorbed by solar panel's is not used does it dissipate?
two kinds of solar panel exist. if a solar thermal panel, for hot water or hot air, is not being used then any solar energy landing on it is not drawn away by the water or air. The panel temperature rises depending on the characteristics of the panel and the amount of sunshine. as the temperature rises the panel loses more and more heat back to the atmosphere so that the losses always equal the gains. energy absorbed = energy used (or stored) + energy lost.
How much space is required by a solar panel to generate 1 MW of electricity?
7.4 acres
