Solar cells are best when power without fuel is the most important factor.
Fuel cells vs solar panels.
This aspect of solar power is evident but the fact that photovoltaics are a technology not a fuel is not.
Hydrogen fuel and.
10 s or a 100 times more.
Fuel cells can generate a great deal more power.
Solar cells convert light into electrical energy.
While fuels are tangible commodities and must be produced treated and transported solar pv is a technical innovation that involves silicon cells converting sunlight into energy at a highly efficient rate.
The fuel cell does not.
Fuel cells are best when the weight or storage space for the fuel is the absolute most important factor.
The fuel cell efficiency is 36 32 with dissipation after electrolysis under a 60w light bulb and is 40 04 with dissipation after electrolysis under the sun.
A fuel cell uses hydrogen or hydrogen rich fuels to convert hydrogen.
Ie a space ship.
The solar cell provides essentially free energy.
