There are two basic methods of photovoltaic power generation: photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal power generation.
The method of directly converting the light energy of the sun into electrical energy without heat treatment is called photovoltaic power generation. Currently, solar cells are actually used. Photovoltaic power generation is a device that converts absorbed solar radiant heat into electrical energy.
Principle The principle of solar thermal power generation is to collect sunlight through a reflector into a solar collector, use solar energy to heat the heat transfer medium (liquid or gas) in the collector, and then heat water to form steam. Is to drive or directly. It drives a generator to generate electricity.
