What are Renewable Energy Systems? What do they do?
Different types of Renewable Energy Systems perform different types of functions, for example, -Photovoltaics (PV) convert sunlight into electricity using PV cells made of Semiconductor material. -Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Systems concentrate the suns energy into reflective -devices such as trough or mirror panels to produce heat that is used for industrial processes or to generate electricity. -Solar Water Heating Systems heat water, either directly or by heating a working fluid that then heats the water. Solar water heaters are commonly used to heat water in homes and industries like dairies for can- washing, heating air, etc. as it is a cost-effective device to heat water for industrial purposes. -Transpired Solar Collectors use solar energy to pre-heat ventilation air. -Passive Solar Energy Devices use the building itself as both solar collector and storage medium, usually by increasing the window area on the south side of the building and the amount of thermal mass inside th
