Unlike solar energy, like coal and oil by means of transport for transport, but the application of principles of optics, light reflection and refraction of direct transmission, solar energy or
converted into other forms of energy to carry out an indirect transfer. Directly applicable to a shorter distance, there are basically three ways: through the mirror and other optical components
portfolio, changes in the spread of the direction of the sun, to be able to use the place; through the optical fiber, the incident could be the end of its transmission to the other side of the sun
, When the optical fiber transmission can be arbitrary bending; use of surface-plated high-reflection coating of optical catheter through the reflection can into the sun room. Indirect transfer
applicable to a variety of distances. Will be converted to solar energy through solar heat pipe can be transmitted to the interior; solar energy will be converted to hydrogen or other chemical
materials can be contained through vehicles such as pipelines or transmission to use be able to place; space solar power station will be converted to electrical energy through the microwave Laser
or electrical energy will be transmitted to the ground.
:: Photoelectric conversion of solar energy is the photon radiation of the sun through the semiconductor material electrical energy into the process, often called the "photovoltaic effect" is the
use of solar cells made of this effect.
:: When the sun reach light on the semiconductor, which was reflected from the surface, the rest of the semiconductor has been absorbed through. The light is absorbed, of course, have become some
of the heat, others with the photon is composed of the semiconductor valence electron impact, the resulting electronic - hole right. In this way, the light energy to produce electronic - in the
form of the hole into power, if the semiconductor memory Pn in the end, the P-type and n-type interface formed on both sides of the barrier electric field, to drive e-n to the area, hole P drive to
the area, so that the district has a surplus of n e, P areas have a surplus of holes in Pn junction near the barrier and the formation of the opposite direction of the electric field of light
electric field of Health. Photovoltaic electric field in addition to offset part of the electric barrier over-the-counter, so that the P-type positively charged layer, n-tier negatively, in the
area n and p zone between the so-called thin-layer photovoltaic force. If the difference in P-layer and n-type layer on the metal welding wire, connected to the load, then it is outside the current
through the circuit. This form of a battery components, and their serial, parallel, will be able to have a certain amount of voltage and current output power.
