(b) The renewable energy system on a house using solar panels is 18% efficient, and the panels receive an average of 800 Wm2 for 8 hours per day. Calculate how many panels that are each 1.6m2 (with negligible borders) are needed to supply 80% of a household's electricity needs. The household uses 4200 kWh per year (take a year to be 365 days. Assume power production and consumption are uniform throughout the year) Explain in one sentence the difference between solar thermal and solar photovoltaic technology.

(1)An energy-efficient lightbulb, taking in 23.0 W of power, can produce the same level of brightness as a conventional lightbulb operating at power 100 W. The lifetime of the energy-efficient bulb is 10 000 h and its purchase price is $4.00, whereas the conventional bulb has lifetime 750 h and costs $0.46 per bulb. Determine the total savings obtained by using one energy-efficient bulb over its lifetime as opposed to using conventional bulbs over the same time period. Assume an energy cost of $0.20 per kilowatt-hour.$
