<p>The model comprises a support board on which a photovoltaic cell module is mounted, coupled to electrical storage batteries, together with a solar collector coupled to a thermal energy circuit and a heliostat module with solar mirrors and a solar- powered boiler. All the different forms of energy collection and utilisation are interconnected, so as to increase the overall efficiency. Pref. the solar-powered boiler drives a steam motor, in turn driving on electricity generator connected to the electrical storage batteries, with the heated water circulating around the thermal energy circuit providing the supply reservoir for the boiler. The model may also incorporate further modules powered by different forms of alternative energy, e.g. a windmill and a hydraulic module.</p> |
