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).
The energy from the sun is produced by nuclear fusion in the suns core and travels at the speed of light to earth (186,000 miles/ second). Solar energy is a renewable source since there will be solar energy as long as the sun exists. Solar electricity and be produced by photovoltaic cells (PV cells or solar cells) or solar thermal systems. Solar cells are made up of silicon (sand) and can supply energy to batteries or electrical power.
