    2.3.4 How Does a Solar PV Works? The word photovoltaic is a combination of two words ‘photo’ which has a meaning of light and ‘voltaics’ meaning electricity. So‚ the scientific terminology photovoltaic technology describes to the use solar energy for the production of EPIA (2006). Figure 2. Diagram that shows how a solar PV works. The diagram above illustrates the operation of a basic photovoltaic cell‚ also called a solar cell. Solar cells are made of the same kinds of semiconductor materials

    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. Chemically coating and texturing the surface

    Approximately 557 Earth years is equal to 1 Eris year. Eris has a diameter between 2‚400 and 3‚000 km. Eris plays a big part in our Solar System and is important to us because it is the largest object and the largest dwarf planet to be found orbiting the sun since 1846‚ when Neptune and its moon Triton was discovered. In conclusion‚ Eris is the 10th planet in our solar system and is rocky unlike many planets before it. References: • Dwarf Planets; UB313 or Eris http://sse.jpl.nasa.gov/planets/profile

    Why Do We Need Solar Energy? With the world’s natural resources depleting rapidly‚ humans must find a way to compensate. This society has milked oil‚ coal‚ gasoline‚ lead‚ uranium‚ and many other of these reservoirs in our Earth for hundreds of years and much has been done. Asphalt was used for our roads and highways‚ coal was originally used for heat before there was oil‚ and even water was used as a form of electricity on many rural farms. Luckily‚ more companies around the world are waking
