Solar Photovoltaic — PV cells (often referred to as “solar cells”) convert sunlight directly into electricity. Solar cells are connected together to form solar panels. Multiple panels together form the solar arrays commonly seen on roofs and as free-standing installations.
Solar Thermal — A solar hot water system typically consists of a collector, a storage tank, piping and sometimes valves, controls and pumps. In freezing climates like New York’s, the systems often use a non-toxic glycol as the collector fluid and a heat exchanger to transfer the thermal energy to the house drinking water system
Passive Solar — heating and lighting buildings directly from sunlight. In passive solar buildings, windows, walls, and floors collect, store, and distribute solar heat in cold seasons; Other structural factors such as awnings and overhangs shade the building when the weather is warm.
Great information, helped me a lot in my article solar energy types
Thank you for sharing this informative article on the different types of solar energy. It’s important to understand the various approaches and technologies available for harnessing the power of the sun to generate electricity. The article does an excellent job of explaining the differences between photovoltaic (PV) solar energy and concentrating solar power (CSP), as well as the different types of PV cells and their respective efficiencies. It’s also helpful to see examples of how these technologies are being used in New York State, such as the Long Island Solar Farm and the Brooklyn Army Terminal Solar Project. I believe that initiatives like this can help to promote greater awareness and adoption of solar energy as a key component of a more sustainable energy system.
