1. Global warming and extra CO2generation
2. Nuclear and coal plants are not favored, petroleum price is high,natural gas is cheap, but still generate CO2. Hydraulic, geothermalhave geography limitation, wind power has advantage on lowercost but not so dependable and suitable for residential area.
3. New emerging economic regions consume more energy (Asia,
Africa, middle East, and South America)4. Multi Government sponsored incentive programs to encourage
Solar Electricity
5. Due to production improvement, significant price reduction on
Solar module; solar electricity is cheaper than new nuclear energyplant and is approaching grid parity.
6. Global Installed Solar Module increased from 71.5 MW (1995) to30 GW (2012)
7. It is a convenient and low cost emergency relief power.

Why solar power knowledge is important
Solar energy will be more popular in coming 20 years
Solar energy and related business will hire moreemployees (current employee number ~ 100,000 in USA)
Solar power will be popular in emerging economic area
More solar module will be fabricated in USA for domesticsupply (international?)
Most solar heat is used for hot water generation, itindirectly reduced the consumption of electricity andnatural gas
Solar electricity is directly used to power daily life.

Part 2, Solar Spectrum
Solar Power is characterized by its spectrum, the intensity is
affected by the distance (solid angle) and the materialsexisting between the light source and the detecting spot;
Outside but close to the atmosphere of earth, AM0 (air mass zero) -135.3 mW/cm2, on the surface of earth (sunny) AM1.5100 mW/cm2(average). Both intensity and spectrum are affected by atmosphere and
water vapor.Photon energy at specific wavelength (i) = nic/i (ni: number ofphoton, : Planck's constant = 6.626068 10-34m2kg /s, c: lightvelocity)Direct industry application of solar energy: to warm up any media byabsorbing the solar spectrum
In-Direct industryapplication of solar energy: to produce electron byabsorbed photon (ideal case: one photon to generate one electron)

Solar Heater: Supply Hot WaterTo save heating energy (electricity or gas)
9 million water heaters (~USD 450/unit) sold in USA,total revenue is about 4 billion/y.
Natural Gas is cheap in USA, Canada, Russia. But, itis very expensive in Japan, most Asia area, and
Europe. Solar water heater system could also warm uphouse.

Indirectsystem: Use Heat Transfer fluid to transferthe solar heat to water, overheat and anti-freezing
protection is provided (cost higher) Passive system: Use the heat as convection driven
force to circulate the water and heating fluid (for bothDirect or Indirect system)
Activesystem: Use pump to circulate the water and
heating fluid (higher cost, but highest efficiency)

Single Junction Solar Cell and Future
Ge solar cell to begin with: low bandgap, low efficiency,
high cost material (failed) Si solar cell is a successful example: wider bandgap (1.1
eV), higher efficiency (AM1.5, ~24.7%, 1989), low costmaterial, most popular global installation solar module(>85%). It will be the main stream product in PV industry.
Concerns on weight, efficiency, and application forspecial environments, R&D on multi-junction solar cellstarted.
To reduce the cost of solar cell/module; thin film, dye,
organic solar cells started As solar module popular; retired module recycle and
environment contamination and other supporting factors,such as house insurance, mortgage, tax will be required
