This is a collector page for power conversion concepts

Electro-mechanical Conversion

This is the conversion of electric power to mechanical force (motors) or the reverse (generators).

Solar-Electric Conversion

  • Photovoltaic Panels
  • Steam Driven Generator

Solar-Thermal Conversion

This is generating some level of heat using sunlight as the source. Distinguishing features are what temperature level, what power level, and what is being heated.

  • Solar water heater
  • Solar air and thermal mass for buildings
  • Concentrated sunlight process heat
