How efficient are thermo-solar Stirling generators compared to photovoltaic solar panels in terms of energy output, investment and surface needed to operate?
Can you tell me how efficient thermo-solar Stirling generators are compared to photovoltaic solar panels in terms of energy output?
Thermo-solar Stirling generators convert thermal energy to mechanical energy which is then converted into electrical energy, and they can achieve energy conversion efficiencies of up to 30%. Photovoltaic solar panels, on the other hand, have energy conversion efficiencies that typically range from 15% to 20%.
