WHAT IS SOLAR POWER ?
• Solar power is electricity produced directly from sunlight
• Solar thermal power refers to a process where the sun’s energy heats a working fluid that eventually is used to do work in an engine or a turbine.
THE HISTORY OF SOLAR POWER
• Greeks used passive solar to heat Buildings (400 BC)
• Romans improved by using glass to trap heat in the buildings and green houses (100 AD)
• 1700: Antoine LaVoisier built a solar heater • 1839: French physicist Antoine-Cesar
Becquerel observed that shining light on an electrode submerged in a conductive solution would create an electric current.
• 1860: The First Solar Motor, heated water used to drive a steam motor, Auguste Mouchout
• 1883: American Charles Fritts described the first solar cells, which was made from selenium wafers
• 1900: The photoelectric effect was discovered.
• 1904: Henry E. Willsie first use of solar energy at night.
• 1916: Millikan provided experimental proof of the photoelectric effect
• 1918: Polish scientist Czochralski developed a way to grow single-crystal silicon.
THE HISTORY OF SOLAR POWER
• 1941: American Russell Ohl invented a silicon solar cell
• 1954: Bell Labs researchers Pearson, Chapin, and Fuller reported their discovery of 4.5% efficient silicon solar cells
• 1950’s: Solar cells developed for satellites • 1960: Hoffman Electronics achieved 14%
efficient PV cells. • 1973: OPEC Energy Crisis causes US to re-
examine use of renewable energy sources; federal and state tax credits result in rapid growth for a new solar industry.
THE HISTORY OF SOLAR POWER
• 1981: A 90.4-kW PV system was dedicated at Lovington Square Shopping Center (New Mexico) using Solar Power Corp. modules. A 97.6-kW PV system was dedicated at Beverly High School in Beverly, Massachusetts, using Solar Power Corp. modules. An 8-kW PV-powered (Mobil Solar), reverse-osmosis desalination facility was dedicated in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
• 1984: The IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Award was presented to Drs. David Carlson and Christopher Wronski at the 17th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, "for crucial contributions to the use of amorphous silicon in low-cost, high-performance photovoltaic solar cells."
• 1991: The Solar Energy Research Institute was redesignated as the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory by President George Bush.
• 1993: The National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Solar Energy Research Facility (SERF), opened in Golden, Colorado.
• 1996: The U.S. Department of Energy announces the National Center for Photovoltaics, headquartered in Golden, Colorado.

TYPES OF SOLAR POWER TECHNOLOGIES
PassiveConcentration
Photovoltaic (PV)
Passive
• Direct Solar Gain– South facing large
windows
– Floors, walls, ceiling used to trap heat. The heat is released at night
• Indirect Solar Gain– Thermal storage
materials are placed between the interior habitable space and the sun
– Can use vents in wall to help circulate hot air through room
Passive
• Isolated Solar Gain:• Uses a fluid (liquid or air)
to collect heat in a flat plate solar collector attached to the structure.
Passive
• Focus the sun to create heat– Boil water– Heat liquid metals
• Use heated fluid to turn a turbine
• Generate electricity
Concentration
Concentration
• Power towers – Large field of mirriors
is used to concentrate the sunlight.
– Concentrated Sunlight is used to heat molten salt
• Trough Collectors– Uses parabolic mirrors
to heat a fluid in an absorbing tube.
– Hot fluid is used to boil water to run a steam generator.

• Photoelectric effect
• PN junction directly converts sunlight into electricity.
• Electricity can be stored for later useage or used on demand.
Photovoltaic Cells (Solar Cells)
Photovoltaic Cells (Solar Cells)
• Multiple PN junction Cell has multiple transparent layers
• Top layer absorbs the high energy light and passes rest through
• Solar Cells transform light to electricity
• Controller regulates were the charge is directed
• Batteries store the energy
• Inverter converts from DC to AC

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Energy
How Does Solar PowerGenerate Power
How Does Solar Power Generate Power
• A system used to transform solar radiation directly into electricity. At the heart of a solar power system, also known as a photovoltaic (PV) system, are solar cells, which are interconnected to form solar modules (solar panels) and solar arrays.
• The size and configuration of a system depend on its intended task. Modules and arrays can be used to charge batteries, operate motors, and to power any number of electrical loads. With the appropriate power conversion equipment, solar power systems can produce alternating current (AC) compatible with any conventional appliances, and can operate in parallel with, and interconnected to, the utility grid.
How Does Solar Power Generate Power
Among the components of a complete solar power system may be a DC-AC power inverter, a battery bank, a system and battery controller, auxiliary energy sources, and sometimes the specified electrical load (appliances). In addition, an assortment of balance of system (BOS) hardware, including wiring, overcurrent, surge protection and disconnect devices, and other power processing equipment

Solar power is used in a mobile home in Arizona.
The solar panels convert the solar energy into electrical energy.
The use of solar cells are also supplemented by the use of wind turbines

Where is Solar Power Used ?
• In Indonesia, solar power Solar Home System (SHS) or Hybrid Power
• Hybrid Power is the power that used Solar Power and Diesel Power
• Hybrid Power (PLTH) have developed at 25 locations, such as Parangtritis, Yogyakarta and Gorontalo
• Solar Home System is the power that used at rural areas and at special areas (the area which don’t get supply from PLN)
The Cost of Solar PV Systems
• Cells are the building block of PV systems– Typically generate 1.5 - 3 watts of power
• Modules or panels are made up of multiple cells
• Arrays are made up of multiple modules– A typical array costs about $5–$6/watt
• Still need lots of other components to make this work
• Typical systems cost about $8/watt
Solar Cell Efficiencies
• Typical module efficiencies ~12%– Screen printed multi-crystalline solar cells
• Efficiency range is 6-30%– 6% for amorphous silicon-based PV cells– 20% for best commercial cells– 30% for multi-junction research cells

• ~20% efficiency 200W/m2 electricity
• Daylight & weather in northern latitudes– 100 W/m2 in winter; 250 W/m2 in summer– Or 20 to 50 W/m2 from solar cells
• Value of electricity generated at $0.08/kWh– $0.10 / m2 / day OR $83,000 km2 / day

Cost Analysis
• US retail module price = ~$5.00 / W (2005)
• Installations costs = ~$3.50 / W (2005)
