Solarnutzung

Solarnutzung refers to the practice of harnessing solar energy for various applications. This is primarily achieved through two main technologies: photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar thermal systems. Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductor materials. These systems range from small rooftop installations for residential use to large-scale solar farms that supply power to the grid. The electricity generated can be used immediately, stored in batteries for later use, or fed back into the electricity network. Solar thermal systems, on the other hand, utilize sunlight to heat water or other fluids. These systems are commonly used for domestic hot water heating, space heating, and in some cases, for industrial processes. Concentrated solar power (CSP) is another form of solar thermal technology that uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, generating high temperatures that can be used to produce electricity. The growing adoption of Solarnutzung is driven by environmental concerns, the desire for energy independence, and decreasing costs of solar technology. It plays a significant role in the global transition towards renewable energy sources, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a more sustainable energy future.
