by jurvetson

Question by : what is the percentage efficiency of wind and solar power?

Best answer:

Answer by VineetSolar power efficiency gives only 10 percent to 20 percent efficiency… (atleast the commonly used cells)
im not aware of the wind power but it would be high when strong winds blow otherwise very low…

Question by Recovering Statist: What is the “theoretical efficiency” all about in the field of solar power?

Best answer:

Answer by SubramaniamSun light falling on one square meter area is approximately equal to 1 kw.
Efficiency of current manufacture of solar cells is 180 watts per square meter.(18%)
Different technology, different time of sun exposure different efficiency.

What is efficiency of coal power stations and solar energy?

by USDAgov

Question by Josephine W: What is efficiency of coal power stations and solar energy?

Best answer:

Answer by Robin the energy saverCoal-fired power stations are not very efficient. Most of them don’t reach more than 40% efficient. A few can reach 45%.

There is a theoretical limit to the percentage of energy that can be converted from heat to mechanical energy in any heat engine, which is the first part of what a coal-fired power station does. This limit depends on the difference in temperature between the heat source (burning coal) and the heat sink (the steam coming out the end [...]
