Transcript of Solar Energy Labs – Part 2 ENGR 1181. Solar Cells in the Real World Solar panels are becoming...
Solar Cells in the Real WorldSolar panels are becoming commonplace. We’re most familiar with fields or rooftops covered with solar panels, but engineers at Toyota are even experimenting with a solar powered Prius!
Today's Learning ObjectivesAfter today's class, students will be able to:
• Discuss the applications of solar cells.
• Describe the materials and function of a solar cell.
• Identify the advantages and disadvantages of solar cells.
• Calculate the efficiency of a solar cell.
• Distinguish between internal and external resistance.
• Compare and contrast two given types of solar cells.
• Optimize the power output of a solar cell.
• Measure the power output of the solar cell under various simulated sunlight conditions.
• Determine the effect on the power output of the solar cell at different times of day.
Tips for a Successful Lab Check the back of the breadboard to
confirm correct connections
Remember the two sides of the board are not electrically connected
Double check misalignments or grounding
