Type your answer here... yes they do convert sunlight into electricity but it requires some more equipments to be added to it so that it becomes an eficient source of electricity .for this purpose a dynamo can also be used and the energy produced is enough for two households so just think about it

What are the different between sustainable architecture and passive architecture?
Sustainability is the ability to save the resources for future generations. Some argue that it does not have to be using passive systems, but they tried using technology in a smart way to achieve that goal. So passive architecture is the elimination of all impassive systems and therefore achieve that goal. To sum up, almost all passive architecture is sustainable, but not all sustainable architecture passive.
What word can be used to describe someone who is extremely passive?
Milquetoast is a word used to describe someone who is extremely passive.
What do you mean by interactive and passive computer graphics. also explain how does an interactive computer graphics works?
passive and interactive computer graphics example
What is moving materials through a cell membrane without using energy is called?
Passive Transport
What part of the body makes the vein pump?
Veins do not pump, they are passive. They carry blood back to the heart which is the pump.
What are two uses of energy in your home can be traced back to the sun?
Two uses of energy in a home that can be traced back to the sun are solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity for powering appliances, and passive solar heating, where sunlight is used to naturally heat the interior of a home through windows or other design features.
2 methods of getting energy from sunlight?
Active Solar Heating and Passive solar Heating.
What is passive heating?
The location of a building's placement of window's and careful selection of materials can make the best use of "passive heating". it is basically the warming effect of the sun, passive heating will reduce your energy bills, as less energy is needed throughout the home
What kind of energy can be harnessed from the sun?
Solar energy is the light and heat from the sun. Solar energy can be harnessed either by solar cells which convert it into usable electricity, or passively as in the use of passive solar heating.
Solar collectors are parts of a?
Solar collectors are components of a solar thermal system that absorb sunlight to generate heat. They are typically used to heat water or air for various applications such as space heating, water heating, or electricity generation through concentrated solar power systems.
Which statment about passive solar heating systems is true?
they do not produce electricity Novanet
What is the difference between passive solar energy systems and active solar energy systems?
The difference between a passive solar energy system and and active solar energy system is how the energy is collected and distributed. In a passive solar energy system, the building itself is designed as a collector and the heat is distributed by natural means. In an active solar energy system, special collectors, storage tanks, and mechanical and electrical equipment (pumps and fans) are used to transport and distribute the heat energy. Passive systems - convert sunlight into electricity, which is used to heat a hot-water tank. Active systems have tubes behind them filled with water from the household supply. The direct energy from the sun heats the water in the tubes. Passive solar usually has no moving parts and the sun's energy is stored directly in whatever the sun is hitting such as a large mass or a room. Active solar heating will usually involve the use of pumps to pump a fluid to solar collectors and then back to a distribution point where the solar energy collected is transferred to another heating system, such as a forced hot air system. Active solar is much more complicated. Passive solar heating has no moving parts, but utilizes windows and the sun. The position of the house is very important. Active solar heating uses solar panels to produce electricity for heating, or pumps to move water warmed by the sun.
What is the difference between an active solar home and a passive solar home?
Passive refers to a design that uses natural sunlight. It can be for lighting, as in skylights and large windows, or heating, where thermal glass is used. Active requires collecting solar energy with equipment ( pumps, storage tanks, etc. ) and storing or transferring the energy to where it is needed.
When the suns energy is used to heat a building?
This process is typically called solar heating or passive solar heating. Solar panels or windows are used to capture sunlight and convert it into heat energy, which is then used to warm up the building through a system of heat distribution such as radiant flooring or forced-air systems. This is a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to heat buildings.
How can solar energy be used?
Solar energy can be used directly for water heating, or it can be converted to electric energy using photo-voltaic cellsA:Solar energy works by the use of silicon structured panels. These panels can trap the heat from the sun and convert it to more common energy, electricity. The electricity is then channeled to a power plant like building which distributes the energy accordingly. These panels can also be installed in your own home. There are several ways of capturing and using the sun's energy, including photovoltaic cells, active solar energy, passive solar energy and concentrating solar power systems.
How does Solar Energy replace electricity?
it doesn't - solar panels generate electricity. also, there is passive solar such as using sunlight to heat water or air and thus avoiding the use of electric - or oil - heaters
Where do passive solar heating systems and active solar heating systems get their solar energy?
Passive solar heating systems harness solar energy through the design and orientation of a building's windows, walls, and materials to maximize heat absorption. Active solar heating systems use solar collectors, such as solar panels or thermal collectors, to capture solar radiation and convert it into heat for space heating or hot water.
