Determine whether the study described in the research summary for Guided Practice Exercise 2 is a randomized comparative experiment. If it is, describe the treatment, the treatment group, and the control group. If it is not, explain why not and discuss whether the conclusions drawn from the study are valid.
Solar Energy and Its Uses. Utility scale solar energy facilities generate electricity that is sent to energy consumers via electric transmission systems. On a smaller scale, solar energy facilities can be used to generate electricity or hot water for use in individual buildings.olar energy facilities use concentrating solar power (CSP) as the heat source to boil water, or they convert sunlight directly into electricity using solar cells, also known as photovoltaics (PV).
Solar energy is energy which is created from sunlight, or heat from the sun. Solar power is captured when energy from the sun is converted into electricity or used to heat air, water, or other fluids.There are currently two main types of solar energy technologies:1  solar thermal: these systems convert sunlight into thermal energy (heat). 2  Most solar thermal systems use solar energy for space heating or to heat water (such as in a solar hot water system). Most solar thermal systems use solar energy for space heating or to heat water (such as in a solar hot water system). 2  However this heat energy can be used to drive a refrigeration cycle to provide for solar based cooling.
