Compare and contrast the two methods that solar energy can be used for in the generation of electricity.?

Posted on May 5, 2010 by admin

The two methods are
- focusing sunlight onto a liquid that is heated and used to turn water into steam to drive the turbines
- photovoltaic cell (layers of silicon to generate electricity)

I am sure that the photovoltaic panels are more efficient in converting solar energy to electricity as there isn’t much loss in the process.
