Sun cannot be USED to make eletricity, but the sun energy rays from the sun can be used to turn into eletricity. This method is called, solar energy. As you see along with light and heat, the sun sends an invisible energy force. There are solar cells to collect the energy force and is converted in the eletricity.

∙ 11y agoFlows through the plant intake into pipe called pinstock-
It is carried down to a wheel turbine at lower water level-
Pressure increases as it flows down pipe-
At this pressure the water flows in the turbine which is connected to the generator -Inside the generator is the roader-
Attached to roader are large electric magnets located within coils of copper wire called the stator- As the roader spins the magnet flow of electrons is created- This produces electricity which can be strapped in voltage through the station transmission and sent across line-
The water exists a pipe where it rejoins the main stream of water.
Wave Sun- Makes wind- Wind blows across ocean- Causing waves- Waves arrive at wave power station-Causing water in chamber to rise in and fall- Air is forced in and out of turbine in generator
Wind - Sun- Warms air on land- Rises- Replaced by cold sea air
Biomass- Sun- Plant
Fossil Fuels- Sun- Plant- Animals
Solar Sun- Sun- Solar panels- Solar cells- Solar furnaces- Solar water heating

What helps a boat produce electricity?
Solar panels on the boat store energy from the sun.The energy from the sun is converted or changed,into electricity blair:]
Does the sun produce electricity?
Yes, it does. People use it's energy to produce electricity.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of producing electricity by photoelectric cells?
The advantage is that it is cheap to produce electricity with the sun. The disadvantage is the "CLOUDS, or no sun. No sun, no electricity.
How do you produce solar electricity?
Capture the sun
How the sun helps the earth?
the sun helps the plants grow. the sun give us light with out using electricity
What is the technology at work to produce electricity from the sun?
Solar panels They are panels (any size you want) that make electricity from the light of the sun
How does the sun produce electricity in solar heat generators?
by using URANUS
Where in the US is the sun used to produce electricity?
in philadelphia next to the cheesecake factory
How does sun help?
The sun give us heat, electricity, and warms water, and helps grow crops
Which uses energy directly from the sun to produce electricity?
solar power
Can you make electricity from the heat of the sun?
YES! Did you know that the heat of the sun is called solar energy. It's used to produce steam, which can then be turned into electricity. That's real cool!
