Ways of Producing Electricity from Sun
Ways of Producing Electricity from Sun
The solar radiation reaching earth from sun can be converted to electricity which provides a clean, renewable and free source of energy to us. The solar power systems are in developing stage (there are some commercial usages but most methods are in prototype stage due to high costs avoiding commercial use). Ways of producing electricity from sun energy can be gathered under two major headlines. Photovoltaic (converting the solar power directly to electricity) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP - which is roughly concentrating the sun beams thus creating a high temperature and converting heat energy to electricity by known methods).
