2) SOLAR ENERGY IS AN INTERESTING ALTERNATIVE TO ELECTRICITY. A

3) PHOTOELECTRIC CELLS AND THERMAL COLLECTORS ARE DIFFERENT DEVICES FOR COLLECTING SOLAR

ENERGY. B

4) PEOPLE IN PLACES FAR FROM POWER STATIONS WOULD LIKE TO ENJOY THE BELIEFS OF

CURRENT ELECTRICITY. A

5) SCIENTISITS WOULD LIKE TO LOWER THE COSTS OF COLLECTING SOLAR ENERGY. D

E) MAKE TEN SENTENCES BY MATCHING EACH BEGINNING WITH TWO ENDINGS.

 Solar energy want to use electrical appliances.

F) TRANSLATE THE TEXT IN A.

Muchas personas viven en lugares remotos, lejos de la central eléctrica. Quieren usar
electrodomésticos pero no tienen electricidad de la red. A ellos les gustaría, por ejemplo, para
ver televisión tarde en la noche o usar una computadora para trabajar o entretenerse. La
solución a su problema es el sol, una fuente alternativa de energía. En el presente, Hay dos
dispositivos principales para recolectar energía solar- colectores térmicos y célula fotoeléctrica.
El colector térmico absorbe la energía solar a través de una placa metálica plana que contiene
tubos para un fluido portador. La placa de metal caliente calienta el fluido. Luego, el fluido se
mueve a un tanque y calienta el agua en el tanque. Esta agua caliente se puede utilizar en
cocinas y baños o en un sistema de calefacción de la casa. Las células fotoeléctricas convierten
directamente la energía solar en electricidad. La luz del sol hace que los electrons de las celulas
vibren para producir electricidad de bajo voltaje. Hoy en dia el uso de celulas fotoelectricas se
limita a relojes, calculadoras o camaras. La energia del sol es gratuita, pero muy pocas personas
las utilizan. Hay dos razones principales para esto, la primera razon es que, en lla actualidad, el
costo de recoleccion, conversion y almacenamiento de la energia es muy alto. La segunda
razon es que la energia solar no se puede recolectar en dias nublados o lluviosos. El sol es una
Fuente de energia potente, renovable y no contaminante. Los cientificos quieren desarollar
formas economicas de recolectar su energia y formas efectivas de almacenarla. Tambien les
gustaria crear mas aparatos electricos que funciones con energia solar. Algunos Cientificos
incluso estan trabajando en un proyecto futurista. Quieren instalar colectores gigantes en el
espacio y enviar la energia a la tierra en forma de microondas.
