Business / Re: Pertaining Solar Energy by KPOLOVIE(m): 9:15pm On Jul 28, 2020
kiakiagas:
Currently, 50% of Germany’s net electricity is generated from solar energy. Harnessing solar energy to generate electricity is becoming more mainstream as the world moves towards a green future. The International Energy Agency projects that Solar Photo-Voltaic would be the most installed power generation capacity by source by 2040. Solar is slowly being adopted around the world, due to its zero emissions of harmful substances during operation. It is necessary to examine how solar energy is harnessed and the current efficiencies.

Solar energy refers to energy harnessed from the sun. The sun gives off light and heat and these can be harnessed for different activities i.e. the light or heat from the sun can be harnessed for power. Solar energy has been harnessed since 7th Century B.C. where magnifying glasses were first used to concentrate the sun’s rays to make fire (and burn ants). As time passed, the technology improved with Roman bathhouses constructed to have large south facing windows which let the sun’s warmth into the designated area, between the
1st to 4th Century A.D. There have been a large number of historical inventions and innovations aimed at harnessing the sun’s energy to meet human needs, and there will be more of such.

This article will focus on solar energy harnessed to cook food and to produce electricity. The solar collector was invented in 1767, which was later used to cook food in the 1830s. This was relatively earlier than the discovery of the photovoltaic effect in 1839. These technologies have greatly improved in the last century and this article shall examine their operations.

Solar Energy for Producing Electricity

How the Photovoltaic Cell Works
Solar photovoltaic conversion is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Photovoltaic (PV) cells react to light by turning part of it into electricity. Silicon is the most used PV cell material, for this reason a lot of research has gone into silicon as a way of understanding PV cells. When light strikes a silicon crystal, it is either reflected, absorbed or goes right through the crystal. Absorbed light (of great energy) upon striking the silicon crystal causes electrons to separate from their bonds. These free electrons are the means by which electricity flows. The electrons are acted upon by a (built-in) potential barrier which causes the electrons to produce a voltage used to drive a current through the circuit. The potential barrier can be created by doping the PV material, i.e. adding an impurity in order to aid electron movement. In 1960, solar cells were 5% efficient, but recent solar cells are 24% efficient, although the majority of solar panels are below 20% efficient.

Photovoltaic System Set-up
There are certain considerations necessary to effectively install a PV system. PV modules (collection of solar cells) need to be mounted where there is direct access to sunlight. PV modules are usually mounted on roofs but can be mounted on the ground as well. It is also necessary to ensure that there is no shading around as even the shadow of a single branch of a
leafless tree can significantly reduce the power output of a solar module. PV modules are conventionally oriented towards the true south but would also work fine (with less efficiency) if on a roof facing east or west. Solar modules (specifically stationary modules) also have to be tilted plus or minus 15° with respect to that location’s geographic latitude, based on the time of the year.
The flow of energy in a stand-alone Photovoltaic system goes thus:
1. Solar Modules (Panel): here, the light rays are converted to electricity.
2. Charge Controller: also referred to as battery charger. Its primary function is the prevention of the overcharging of batteries, which eventually damages them. It regulates the power going into the battery from the solar panels and cuts off excess power. It is necessary for off-grid solar PV systems; in grid-connected systems, excess power goes into the grid.
3. Battery: batteries store direct current (DC) energy for later use. The batteries store energy for use after the solar panels are not receiving sunlight. Types of batteries include Lithium-ion batteries and Lead Acid batteries.
4. Inverter: the inverter converts DC to Alternating Current (AC). The AC is used to run appliances in the building.

experience is talking. Wehdone ma!

Most Thoughtful post of this election season.

�Saraki and his wife cast their votes in their polling unit,
Buhari and his wife cast their votes,
Atiku and his wife cast their votes,
Peter Obi and his wife cast their votes, Osibanjo and his wife cast their votes,
Wike and his wife cast their votes,
Amaechi and his wife cast their votes.......
all of them and their wives voted in their polling units according to news and with what we saw on television and were escorted to the polling units by their bodyguards and security men BUT NON OF THEM WENT WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
�Does it mean non of these people have children that are up to 18yrs that can vote? Or they went to another polling unit to vote or they came with their parents and the camera didn't catch them?
Their children are all in safe locations or over seas for security reasons

Fake dollar and stollen money it's always news we hear but we don't get to see this money. Did it disappear or fly into the country? This was done by government officials with high clearance and security. When money is not equally shared it is missing in news, when it is not shared it is embezzled, when it is equally shared it is no news. When economy change it is subsidy removal now it is economic recession next will be what??

When him money finish she go leave am go marry another man, which girl wan suffer or work? Most girls Na so so free things them like and make man dey spend on them as if them be investment wey dey pay but they are just liability to men and their business plans. No reasonable woman or lady that want your success would intentionally want you to spend so much on her, except for few celebrities for fame sake. But now even girls wey no sabi brush mouth sef want make man spend everything on her so she will look good, to run away easily.
