summary NewVen is an Oxford based company‚ which plans to sell‚ install and maintain photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic’s is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar energy into usable current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. Photovoltaic’s method employs solar panels on the roof or on the walls of the house‚ which are composed of a number of cells containing a photovoltaic cell. The UK is setting itself a mandatory target of ensuring that

and personal electronics. T o power our technology we need energy. Most electrical energy is harvested in one of two ways. These ways are mechanically harvested or harvested from solar power. Mechanically harvested energy needs moving parts‚ for example‚ to turn a generator. Solar energy can be harvested through solar cells via the photoelectric effect. As technology becomes smaller and more compact‚ power conversion technology needs to also adapt to this changes. Nanotechnology has shown great

fuels are running out every time it is used. So we need to provide new energy that can be harnessed instead of fossil fuel for today and tomorrow. Alternative energy This problem can be solved by LCOE‚ national grid‚ and new technologies like Crystal Solar and optimizing battery storage. Fossil fuel is non-renewable energy that will decrease when we use until it gone. It formed by dead plants and animals which piled up for hundreds years. Three sources of them are oil‚ coal and natural gas. Using
