SOLAR PANELS Let See whats Solar panels are ????? 24 WHAT IS A SOLAR PANEL? A solar panel (also solar module, photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) is a packaged, connected assembly of photovoltaic cells. The solar panel can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each panel is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 450 watts. SOME INTRESTING FACTS 1883 1955 Charles Fritts invented The first solar heated the first colar cell. office building. 500,000 ( Every second, our sun produces enough energy to sustain Earth's needs for YEARS SOLAR ENRGY OVER THE TIME TIME LINE 1953 2012 2015-& BEYOND 4.5% 15% Solar panels convert 4.5% of available energy to electricity. 23.5% Solar panels now convert about 15% of available energy to electricity. Lab tested solar panels can convert 23.5% of energy $1785/WATT $1.30/WATT $0.70/WATT WHAT IT CAN SAVE... A 1KW (kilo wat) 170 pounds of coal from being burned. HOME SOLAR PANEL CO, 300 pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. SYSTEM WILL PREVENT. 105 gallons of water from being consumed. Germany Spain Japan THE TOP 3 COUNTRIES PRODUCING SOLAR ENERGY 3 WORKING OF SOLAR PANEL STAGE # 1 SUNLIGHT We all know sunlight contains energy. Certain materials such as silicon can absorbethis energy its a property known as “photoelectric effect". STAGE # 2 SOLAR CELL A solar cell is a thin semi-conductor wafer espacially treated to form an electric field. Electric conductors are attached to it in a way to form a circuit. Circuit then captures the released electrons in the form of an electric current. STAGE # 3 PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE A module is collection of cells that ae electrically connected to one another. These modules are designed to supply electricity at certain voltage, such as a common 12 volt system. STAGE # 4 DC TO AC Photovoltaic panels produce direct current electricity, but most of us need alternating current electricity. Thus an inverter is used to convert DC into AC.
