Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyz.
haven't logged on for a while
and to tell you the truth, my internet had been slowed slowed slowed down
because ive been watching too many the office and modern family...
haha, but i'm back now

also just found out from another class that we need research for introduction...
which i will do now........

1. How Do You Produce Electricity From Solar Energy, Clean Energy Ideas:

<br />The solar panels are made of a semi-conductive material, the most common material is silicon...When photons (contained within the suns rays) hit the solar cells, the electrons (in the solar panel) absorb this solar energy, transforming them into conduction electrons...The lowering in efficiency is down to two main factors and they are; that the cell is not working to its full potential (e.g. some electrons may be lost), the second factor is when the electrons release heat, the panel also becomes warm, interfering with other aspects of the solar cells...The more solar cells contained in a solar panel, or solar array, means the more output you will receive...Any electrons that do not receive enough energy simply warm up, which heats your cell or panel, resulting in lowering the efficiency of the cell.<br />

2. What is the equation...the energy content of...light of specific frequency? ,Answers

<br />Planck's Equation, E = hv<br />Where E is the energy contained within the photon of light, h is Plank's constant, and v is the frequency of the light. <br />
additional information from me:
E = hv
=hc/lambda
h is planck's constant
c is speed of light
lambda is wavelength

3. How Do Solar Panels Work? ,Buzzle

<br />Panels used to generate electricity<br />Solar cells are common examples in this category of electricity generation. They are also known as photovoltaic cells. A combination of individual PV cells forms the Photovoltaic module. A collection of photovoltaic modules, which are tied together with a wire and are so designed to install it in a field readily, is known as photovoltaic panels or simply solar panels. The installation includes the photovoltaic modules, an inverter, a battery all linked to each other with a wire. Depending upon the no of cells and their arrangement there are three types of modules in this viz., crystalline silicon modules, rigid thin-film modules and Flexible thin-film modules.<br />

4. What is the formula for calculating electrical energy? ,Answers

<br />the formulas for calculating electrical energy is<br />E (dissipated in a resistor R)= VI<br />where V is voltage across resistor ,I is current,t is time.<br />

_______________________________________________

no one has, as far as my googling skills go (and library catalogue researching), actually done the conversion of different coloured light into electricity energy using a solar panel specifically.

i read these thoroughly
and it helped further my understanding
of solar panels and such...
