What is the function of photovoltaic cells in a solar photovoltaic (PV) plant?*1 pointConvert sunlight into electricityStore thermal energyReflect sunlight for maximum absorptionEnhance plant growth through artificial lighting

What is the main purpose of a solar thermal power plant?*1 pointGenerate electricity from sunlightProduce solar panelsStore solar energy in batteriesExtract water from the atmosphere

What is the primary difference between solar thermal power plants and solar photovoltaic (PV) plants?*1 pointEnergy storage methodTypes of solar cells usedConversion of sunlight to electricityGeographical location requirements

What happens when sunlight strikes a photovoltaic cell?atoms are split, resulting in a release of energycarbon dioxide is released as a waste productelectrons are released, causing a flow of electrical currentsmall tubes of water are heated, producing a flow of energy

What is the purpose of solar tracking systems in solar energy applications?*1 pointMaximize exposure to moonlightOptimize the angle of solar panels towards the sunTrack the movement of planetsControl the temperature of solar cells
