The application fields of solar energy

The application fields of solar energy are mainly reflected in the utilization of light and heat, power generation, photochemical utilization, and fuel utilization.

1. Utilization of light and heat

Collect solar radiation energy and convert it into heat energy through interaction with matter. At present, the most widely used solar collectors are mainly flat plate collectors, vacuum tube collectors, ceramic solar collectors, and focused collectors.

2. Utilization of power generation

Solar power generation is widely used in solar street lamps, solar insecticidal lamps, solar portable systems, solar mobile power supplies, solar application products, communication power supplies, solar lamps, solar buildings, and other fields.

3. Photochemical utilization

This is a photo-chemical conversion method that uses solar radiation to directly decompose water to produce hydrogen. It includes photosynthesis, photoelectrochemical reactions, photosensitive chemical reactions, and photolysis reactions. Photochemical conversion is the process of converting light into chemical energy due to the chemical reaction caused by the absorption of light radiation. Its basic forms include the photosynthesis of plants and photochemical reactions that use chemical changes in substances to store solar energy.

4. Fuel utilization

Using the high-temperature energy generated by concentrated solar rays, supplemented by metal oxide material additives, water and carbon dioxide are converted into syngas in a self-designed and developed solar high-temperature reactor. Convert waste heat and high-temperature syngas into "solar" fuel products that can be commercially applied to the market.
