technologies used for solar energy
Several technologies exist to capture and convert solar energy . They( solar panels ) are based on the capture of the energy of the photons, energetic particles that make up the light. The technologies developed make it possible to convert their energy into heat or electricity. Solar energy is a renewable energy whose use does not produce CO2. It thus appears as a possible solution to the problems posed by the scarcity of certain energy sources, their cost and impact on the environment. The three business lines Of solar energy Solar thermal This technology converts solar energy into heat. The atoms composing the material of the solar collectors are excited by the photons. By recovering some of their energy, the atoms change their energy state, creating a thermal agitation. The atoms will then release the surplus energy in the form of thermal energy, manifesting itself in the form of heat. It will be transported by a heat transfer fluid (water, gas ...): heated, it will be able to dis...
