Exhibit Summary
Navigating the Light - Solar Energy is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Earth & Planet category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
Through the artistic array unit of "solar origami flowers", the displays guide the audience to think about the concept of solar photoelectric effect and pay attention to the application of solar energy, a clean energy, in daily production and life.
Operation
In the future power generation energy structure planning, the proportion of traditional coal power technology is declining year by year due to the emission of large amounts of waste residue and carbon dioxide, while the proportion of non-fossil energy in power generation will gradually increase. Therefore, the use of solar power generation plays a decisive role in the adjustment of future power generation energy structure and the realization of carbon emission reduction. Solar energy has become the focus of current new energy development due to its high ubiquity, very cleanness, large total amount, and long usability time. Its main utilization methods include light-thermal conversion, light-electric conversion and light-chemical conversion, which are of great significance to carbon emission reduction. Solar light-to-electricity conversion utilizes the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect means that under the irradiation of photons of a certain frequency, the electrons inside certain substances will be excited by the photons to form an electric current. From the perspective of energy conversion, this is a process of converting light energy into electrical energy. The displays are designed to show the concept of solar photoelectric effect.
