Thermionic generators convert heat or light into an electric current by using the temperature difference between two metallic plates that are separated by a vacuum. The hot plate is heated either by incident light or thermal conduction and this causes electrons to evaporate from its surface.
This is produced by transferring the heat of the sun, as efficiently as possible, to another medium, usually a liquid. Examples of solar energy that is produced this way include: â¢ Solar hot water. â¢ Swimming pools heated by the sun using products such as a solar blanket. â¢ Solar thermal power stations that produce steam, which drives turbines, which generates electricity. 2) By capturing the light of the sun and converting this directly to an electrical current. Solar Photovoltaic (PV to its friends) is the fancy name for a residential solar electricity system.
