Across
- 1. Effect is the process by which solar energy is converted directly into electrical energy using semiconductors.
- 5. The angle formed by the line connecting the centers of the Sun and Earth with its projection onto the equatorial plane.
- 6. Tubular Collector is a type of solar collector that uses a vacuum between the absorber and the glass cover to reduce heat loss.
- 7. A device used to measure direct solar radiation flux at normal incidence.
- 9. ___________ Recorder is the device used to measure the duration of bright sunshine by burning a trace on a card strip.
- 10. __________ Angle is the angle between the sun's rays and a line perpendicular to the horizontal plane through a point.
Down
- 2. ___________Collector is the type of solar collector that uses mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight onto a smaller absorber area.
- 3. ________Radiation is the type of solar radiation that is scattered and reflected by the atmosphere before reaching the ground.
- 4. _____________ Constant is the rate at which solar energy arrives at the top of the Earth's atmosphere (2 words)
