SOLAR ENERGY

MIGUEL SÁNCHEZ LOPEZ HIGH SCHOOL (TORREDELCAMPO).SPAIN

WHAT IS SOLAR ENERGY?

IT IS A FORM OF RENEWABLE ENERGY THAT WE RECIEVE FROM THE SUN IN THE FORM OF LIGHT AND HEAT

REMEMBER THAT THE EFFICIENCY OF THESOLAR ENERGY RECIEVED COUNTS ON VARIOUS FACTORS SUCH AS…

-- THE TIME OF DAY-- THE INCLINATION OF THE EARTH-- WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD-- THE EARTHS MOVEMENTS-- CLIMATIC CONDITIONS-- POLLUTION

SOLAR RADIATION OVER THE YEAR. AVERAGE. 1353 KW/KM2

AS WE CAN SEE, IN THE MAJORITY OF SPAIN THE AMOUNT OF SOLAR RADIATION RECIEVED IS VERY HIGH. ESPECIALY IN ANDALUCIA WHERE THE HIGHEST READINGS ARE RECORDED.

ELECTRICAL ENERGY VIA PHOTOELECTRIC CELLS

“ENERGY CANNOT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED ONLY TRANSFORMED”

UPON REACHING THE ATOMS THE PHOTONS CAUSE ELECTRONS TO BE KNOCKED OFF THEIR SHELL AND

THIS CREATES AN ELECTRIC CURRENT

GROUP TOGETHER CELLS TO CREATE MORE ENERGY

IT TRANSPORT HOT WATER TO THE POINT OF CONSUMPTION

PHOTOELECTRIC SOLAR ENERGYTYPES OF PHOTOELECTRIC INSTALLATIONS

INSTALLATIONS CONNECTED TO THE GRID

THEY ARE CENTRES WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE GRIDWHICH DISTRIBUTE ELECTRICITY TO HARD TO REACH AREAS

THEY NEED:INVESTMENT AND A LARGE AREA

THEY CAN BE FIXED OR MOBILE

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY

ADVANTGES DISADVANTAGESClean energy Takes up a lot of space

Infinite and free Geographically uniform

Inequality compensations Expensive in the long run

Cheap in the long run Changes to the environment

Doesn’t require any work to extract store or transport

Modifying and changing the panels is damaging to the environment

Depends on the environment

Requires other supplementary energies.

SOLAR ENERGY IN OUR REGION: ANDALUCIA

HERE IN ANDALUSIA, SOLAR ENERGY HAS A GREAT IMPORTANCE, BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SUN RAYS AND HEAT THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE SUN. NEVERTHELESS, THERE COULD BE MORE SOLAR PANELS THAN THERE ARE NOWADAYS. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL THEM

• FIRST THERMOSOLAR PROJECTS IN EUROPE • THE FAREFRONT ON RESEARCH IN NEW SOLAR TECHNICS IN OUR CONTINENT.
