Ive heard there are many types of solar power available. What are they?
Solar energy can be applied in many ways, including: Generate electricity using photovoltaic solar cells. Generate electricity by heating trapped air which rotates turbines in a Solar updraft tower. Heat buildings, directly, through passive solar design. Heat foodstuffs, through solar ovens. Heat water or air for domestic hot water and space heating needs using solar-thermal panels. Heat and cool air through use of solar chimneys. Source: wikipedia 3. I live in a very cloudy country with a poor amount of sunlight (the UK!). Surely solar power doesn’t work? Once again this depends upon the type of solar that is being utilised. If you use sunlight to heat pipes on your roof for hot water for your house, then this process is less dependent on the actual amount of direct sunshine but more on the ambient temperature of the environment. If you are using solar energy to create electricity, then a lack of actual sunlight will affect the amount of energy produced. A cloudy day will definitely p
