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).
Active Solar Energy. Active solar energy technologies convert the energy of the sun into usable light and heat. An active solar system has the capacity to store energy for later use by storing it in batteries. An active solar energy system uses electrical or mechanical equipment or processes to increase the usable heat in a system.
