The solar power heating installation has heating elements which have semiconductors with a current-voltage characteristic, as shown in the diagrams. Current is plotted against voltage for constant temperature. Line (10) represents a characteristic line for low levels of radiant energy and line (11) a characteristic line for high levels of radiant energy. The shaded area (12) shows conditions for maximum power.
