1. Solar power generation methods There are two solar power generation methods, one is light-heat-electricity conversion method and the other is direct light-electricity conversion method.
2. The light-heat-electricity conversion method uses thermal energy generated by solar radiation to produce electricity. Typically, a solar collector converts absorbed thermal energy into steam. working fluid, then drive the steam turbine to produce electricity. The first process is a process of converting light into heat; the second process is a process of converting heat into electricity.
3. The direct light-to-electricity conversion method uses the photoelectric effect to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy. The basic device for converting light into electricity is. theresolar cell. A solar cell is a device that directly converts solar energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. When the sun shines on the photodiode, the photodiode converts light energy from the sun into electrical energy, producing current. When many batteries are connected in series or parallel, a solar cell array with relatively large output power can be formed.
