Designing buildings that naturally regulate temperature based on natural processes (e.g., termite mounds)

Using only organic materials in construction

Designing symmetrical and rigid structures

Question 3: Which of the following is the primary disadvantage of using concentrated solar power (CSP) in large-scale projects?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

High efficiency in converting sunlight to electricity

High land use requirements and the need for direct sunlight

Lower capital costs compared to photovoltaic systems

Question 4: How does a parabolic trough system generate electricity?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By converting sunlight into chemical energy

By using direct sunlight to heat a gas

By using sunlight to heat a fluid which drives a steam turbine

By capturing sunlight with photovoltaic cells

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To mandate energy efficiency in renewable energy projects

To regulate noise pollution in energy generation

To regulate air emissions from fossil fuel-based energy sources

Question 6: In a solar photovoltaic system, what is the effect of temperature rise on the efficiency of the panels?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

The efficiency increases but only until a certain threshold temperature is reached

It improves the efficiency by allowing more sunlight absorption

Increased temperature decreases the efficiency of the solar panel

It has no effect, as solar panels operate at optimal efficiency at all temperatures
