solar energy basics
Needs help with energy / power?
3. Does solar power plants in Illinois? If so, how many and where? 4. Explain how the Solar Task Forces. 5. How long does it take sunlight to reach earth? 6. What is the greatest form of energy use in the U.S.? How long can the country maintain the use of this form? What would be our best alternative to this? Why? 7. What is a collector active solar? 8. What is a passive solar collector? 9. How can solar energy is used to reduce the current use of fossil fuels? 10. Explain how solar power generates heat. Find a solar oven / collector wants to build at home. Draw a basic example. Are you going to have a partner? If so, who?
3) None that I know, I'm sure some people have photovoltaic panels on their homes, 4) photovoltaic panels do you want to know, sunlight hits the PV panel area semiconductor (usually silicon-based) and it hits lose an electron from its shell, which drops them back to your layer release some energy, so that the light is converted into electricity, very infefficient … perhaps 7% 5) 8 minutes, or 6) For most of the electricity is produced from coal, the next is hydro, next is nuclear with natural gas and oil in very small pieces. How long, estimates of coal in 500 years or more, hyrdo is infinite, nuclear power is nearly infinite petroleum gas really does not mattter, could be dispensed of them 7) active solar collector is a PV panel, there is light and electricity 
The passive solar energy are things like large brick walls that absorb heat in the day and radiate it at night to heat your home. They are based on the heat produced by solar energy 9) In many ways, photovoltaic panels, solar water heaters, solar heating …. all of which reduce the need to consume fossil fuels to produce electricity 10) photons of light from the Sun strike the object and are absorbed, the energy is transformed into heat. The energy is neither created nor destroyed, only changes form. Not sure what it means for the latter, I'm contemplating solar my next house I'm buying in the next couple of months
