What is the organic Rankine Cycle solar thermal power plant?
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is suitable for converting the thermal energy collected by solar panels into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle with a high level of efficiency. Using the ORC in a solar thermal application is a cost efficient solution for clients.
What is the efficiency of solar panels?
Most commercially available solar panels have an efficiency of less than 23%, with an average range of 15% to 20%. SunPower and Canadian Solar currently top the industry with 22.8% efficient panels. These numbers may seem low, but keep in mind that solar cells use a free energy input with zero emissions (sunlight).
