Why renewables?
The benefits of moving to renewables
are immense
energy security,
climate protection,
reduced pollution
health benefits for people
Introduction
Solar Panels
P Power
P = 0.5 X X A X V
Disadvantages
Sun does not shine consistently.
Solar energy is a diffuse source. To
harness it, we must concentrate it into
an amount and form that we can use,
such as heat and electricity.

Efficiency and
Disadvantages
Efficiency is far lass
than the 77% of solar
spectrum with usable
wavelengths.
43% of photon energy
is used to warm the
crystal.
Efficiency drops as
temperature
increases
Overall, the efficiency
is about 10-14%.
Underlying problem is
weighing efficiency
against cost.
Crystalline siliconmore efficient, more
expensive to
manufacture
Amorphous siliconhalf as efficient, less
expensive to
produce.
