The biggest difference between solar photovoltaic power generation and tower thermal power generation

Technology and power generation methods are different. According to Netease query. Com display.

1, photovoltaic power generation is based on photovoltaic effect, and photons hitting a special power generation board will produce electrons. Therefore, if there is enough light, electricity can be generated. The principle of solar thermal system is not so complicated. It uses light energy to generate heat, and uses heat energy as power to generate electricity.

2. In the photovoltaic system, solar energy will be directly converted into electric energy, while in the thermal energy system, solar energy will be converted into heat energy, and heat energy will do work to generate electricity through a heat engine.
