Part 3. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 11 to 15. (1pt)
Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Solar energy
is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available, and the U.S. has some of the
richest solar resources in the world. Solar technologies can capture this energy for a variety of uses,
including generating electricity, providing light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water
for domestic, commercial, or industrial use.
There are three main ways to capture solar energy: photovoltaics, solar heating & cooling, and
concentrating solar power. Photovoltaics generate electricity directly from sunlight via an electronic
process and can be used to power anything from small electronics such as calculators and road signs up to
homes and large commercial businesses. Solar heating & cooling (SHC) and concentrating solar power
(CSP) applications both use the heat generated by the sun to provide space or water heating in the case of
SHC systems, or to run traditional electricity-generating turbines in the case of CSP power plants.
Solar energy is a very flexible energy technology: it can be built as distributed generation (located
at or near the point of use) or as a central-station, utility-scale solar power plant (similar to traditional
power plants). Both of these method scan also store the energy they produce for distribution after the sun
sets, using cutting edge solar storage technologies. Solar exists within a complex and interrelated
electricity system in the U.S, working alongside other technologies like wind power to transition the U.S.
to a clean energy economy. All of these applications depend on supportive policy frameworks at the local,
state and federal level to ensure consumers and businesses have fair access to clean energy technologies
like solar.
