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.
Which statment about passive solar heating systems is true?
they do not produce electricity Novanet
2 methods of getting energy from sunlight?
Active Solar Heating and Passive solar Heating.
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.
What is the definition of passive solar heating?
Glass windows provide passive solar heating for buildings. Sunlight passes through the glass and is absorbed by surfaces in the building. It is transferred into heat energy, which is emitted as infrared radiation. This is reflected back into the building by the glass.
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
What converts sunlight into thermal energy without pumps or fans?
Sunlight is thermal energy. Passive solar system, passive solar design, passive solar window....you get the idea :-)
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 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
How is passive and active solar heating systems different from one another?
a passive solar system converts sunlight into thermal energy without using pumps or fans and active solar system captures the suns energy then uses fans and pumps to distribute the heat
What is a passive solar heating?

Where do passive solar heating systems and active solar heating systems get their solar energy?
they get their energy from the sun
