Characteristics A solar panel is a collection of many small solar cells spread over a large area. These solar cells work together to provide sufficient energy to power a given item. (Northwestern University) Their creation is a very delicate process which is why many of their advancements did not come until last quarter of the 20th century. In this period‚ advancements in semiconductors and photovoltaic products allowed efficient and cost effective solar panels to be produced. (Solar Panel Info)

Solar Panels in the Mojave Desert Overview In 1971‚ a husband and wife‚ Aden and Marjorie Meinel‚ patented an idea to produce solar panels in the Mojave Desert. The solar panels they proposed were to stretch through the Mojave Desert for 5‚000 miles and would collect 1‚000‚000 megawatts of electrical power. The electrical energy would then be stored in a manufacturing facility locally so that the solar energy could be converted and used by millions of people. The Meinel’s proposal was dismissed

rise because of the acute energy crisis in the world today. India plans to produce 20 Gigawatts Solar power by the year 2020‚ whereas we have only realized less than half a Gigawatt of our potential till date. Solar energy is a vital untapped resource in a tropical country like ours. The main hindrance for the penetration and reach of solar PV systems is their low efficiency and high capital cost. “Solar Panel Maximum Power Point Tracker”. As the name implied‚ it is a photovoltaic system that uses

2.3.4 How Does a Solar PV Works? The word photovoltaic is a combination of two words ‘photo’ which has a meaning of light and ‘voltaics’ meaning electricity. So‚ the scientific terminology photovoltaic technology describes to the use solar energy for the production of EPIA (2006). Figure 2. Diagram that shows how a solar PV works. The diagram above illustrates the operation of a basic photovoltaic cell‚ also called a solar cell. Solar cells are made of the same kinds of semiconductor materials
