Solar Furnaces

Part 1 stimulus material: Research and collecting secondary data

Solar furnaces and photovoltaic panels collect and use energy from the Sun.

There is a large solar furnace near Odeillo in southern France.

This solar furnace uses heliostats to direct the Sun’s energy to a point.

You are going to do some research into collecting energy from the Sun.

You should find out:

• how a solar furnace collects energy from the Sun

• what a heliostat is

• why the heliostats used in a large solar furnace need to move whilst the furnace stays stationary

• how photovoltaic panels collect energy from the Sun

• how photovoltaic panels use solar trackers.

You will need to:

• write a detailed list of all the sources you used

• write up the information you have found for use in Part 2 and Part 3.
