i) What is a photovoltaic cell? ii) A certain solar cell type has an output capability of 0.5 A at 0.4Volts. A series / parallel solar array has been designed of such cells with 80 parallel strings and each string has 1500 cells in series. Calculate: (i) Voltage capability (ii) Current capability and (iii) Power output capability of the array.
The annual average insolation for a fixed solar panel in city A is 350 W/m2. On the other hand, city B has a figure of 300 W/m?. For both locations, the solar panel has the capability to convert 17% of the incident energy into electricity. Average annual electricity in City A is 13 000 kWh with an average cost of $0.4/kWh, while in city B, it is 10 000 kWh at a cost of $0.75/kWh. For City A, a. Determine the area of the solar panel needed in order to suffice the average electrical needs of a residence. b. Determine the area of the solar panel needed in order to suffice the average electrical needs of a residence in City B. c. Determine the price per square meter of solar panel in City A if the device has a lifetime of 20 years. Assume that the electricity costs are constant throughout the period. d. Determine the price per square meter of solar panel in City B if the device has a lifetime of 20 years. Assume that the electricity costs are constant throughout the period.
