2.5 Aspects of Solar Cell Efficiency Most of the energy that reaches a cell in the form of sunlight is lost before it is converted to electricity. The usual efficiency of these systems ranges between 10% to 15%‚ though sometimes this efficiency increases to 30% and more. Certain physical properties affect the cell efficiency which we will briefly state. 1- Reflection: Studies show that untreated silicon reflects 36% or more of sunlight that strikes it.

developing economy. I would choose to produce and sell solar panels in Argentina through Joint Venture with an Argentina company‚ which is one of the Investment Entry Mode. And I would send 1 in sales‚ 2 engineers‚ 1 accountant‚ 1 in shipping‚ 3 technicians‚ and 2 managers. Market reasons: Firstly‚ Argentina has enriched solar resource. “Argentina’s eastern plains and north western regions are ideal for solar PV development. However‚ only 10 MW of solar has been installed in Argentina to date‚ making

limited‚ nuclear energy is dangerous‚ and then there is solar energy: clean‚ abundant and safe. It is already used around the Earth to give energy to those huge satellites into orbit but also in the surface of the Earth to provide electricity to many houses or other structures in need of energy. Indeed solar energy may be the most important renewable source of energy for the moment. However installations allowing using the solar energy such as solar panels are still very expensive and space consuming
