What two products can serve as light-concentrating devices?

Answer 1

∆ The largest and most rapidly growing use of solar energy is in power generation and electricity use. As per PARIS report, solar energy is fastest growing source of power.

∆ One issue with grid connected photovoltaic systems is that the photovoltaic cells produce DIRECT (ELECTRIC) current and the power grid uses DIRECT (ELECTRIC) current.

∆ GERMANY is the cloudy country which leads the world in photovoltaic power generation. Other countries which uses renewable sources of energy for power generation and leading are Iceland, Sweden, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Denmark, China, USA, Morocco and Kenya.

∆ In 2016, the world’s peak photovoltaic capacity approached 746 MW, the equivalent of 300 large coal or nuclear plants.

∆ Concentrated High brightness CSP chips, Aluminium alloy, Consistent current decoding driver and Huge Blade inlet air are some light concentrating devices.
