For a home, you planned to install a solar photovoltaic system. While measuring, you got the peak electrical load as 15kW and you decided to meet the all load by solar photovoltaic system during peak sun shine hours and life time of the system is 20 years. Consider the peak shine hours as 6 hours for that location with the solar intensity of 1000W/m2.  (1) Calculate the total PV power generation from the system for its entire lifetime. (2) Calculate the loss in PV power generation if the solar intensity is reduced to 800W/m2 and 500W/m2 for 3 years.
