The diagrams illustrate the design and principles of a simple solar panel.
Overall, this is a simple system. This structure produces heated water or air by using/utilizing the power of sun rays.
To begin with, the layout of the panel is relatively simple. It is a rectangular container, with the surface layer made of transparent glass. In addition, there is an inlet and outlet on either side of the container, allowing water and air to flow through the system.
The energy generation process works by using solar power. Firstly, sun rays are absorbed by the transparent glass, thereby capturing the heat of these rays of sunlight inside the panel. This captured energy then turns air flowing through the system into warm air. Likewise, if the system contains water inside, it is also heated in a similar manner to air.
