What kind of equipment is used to collect solar energy?

Answer 1

There are several different ways to collect energy from the sun. The solar power (or photo-electric) cell converts sunlight to electricity. A solar furnace uses a mirror to concentrate sunlight for the purpose of heating something. Green plants collect energy freom the sun by means of photosynthesis. Any dark colored object, if it is in sunlight, absorbs a certain amount of energy and gets warmer.

Answer 2

The equipment is called a solar collector or solar panel. These types panels are rated in wattage. If the connected load is in amps use this formula to change watts to amps. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.

Answer 3

Solar panels are the primary equipment used to collect solar energy. These panels are made of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity. Other equipment that may be used in a solar energy system include inverters, batteries for energy storage, and mounting structures for the panels.

Answer 4

plants mostly. they use chloroplasts and create glucose and using light and dark energy cycles.

Answer 5

Photo-voltaic cells made up into panels.

Answer 6

light-dependent reactions

Answer 7

Photosynthesis

Answer 8

Solar cells
