Efficiency of a machine is defined as the percentage of retio of our put (i.e work done by the machine) to the input work (i.e work done on the machine)
Efficiency = output work /input work × 100%

Remove Molten Salt Section?
I'm not sure the section on molten salt belongs here, and if it does it should be much shorter and concise. Currently it's a very out-of-place, long-winded description of the tech plus a detailed list of a few experimental concentrated solar power projects that use it. I think this information would be better suited on Concentrated_solar_power and Thermal_energy_storage. Also note that while these two technologies were promising several decades ago they are obsolete now for commercial power production thanks to the massive cost decreases of photovoltaic and electric batteries, making the prominence of molten salt on this article seem even less appropriate on a general article about solar energy.

:Thanks for working on the important solar panel article as well as this one. As you are looking at both articles might you be able to sort out some of the duplication? Chidgk1 (talk) 13:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
