Energy and kids. These systems, also known as solar thermal power plants, use the sun's heat to create steam, which then turns a turbine and produces electricity.
(Fossil fuel burning power plants also produce electricity by first creating steam in order to turn a turbine.) The major applications of solar thermal energy at present are heating swimming pools, heating water for domestic use, and space heating of buildings. For these purposes, the general practice is to use flat-plate solar-energy collectors with a fixed orientation (position). Where space heating is the main consideration, the highest efficiency with a fixed flat-plate collector is obtained if it faces approximately south and slopes at an angle to the horizon equal to the latitude plus about 15 degrees.
Solar collectors fall into two general categories: nonconcentrating and concentrating. In concentrating collectors, the area intercepting the solar radiation is greater, sometimes hundreds of times greater, than the absorber area. How to Make a Homemade ON/OFF Switch.
