    QUESTION 1# FIND OUT THE PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING OF PHOTOVOLTAIC

    CELLS

    Solar technology explained - the differences between crystalline and thin film, mono

    and poly etc.When buying a Solar Power system, it pays to understand the different types of technology on offer. There is a lot of marketing hype surrounding the various panel types

      and their benefits, so it pays to know what features really matter, and what is !ustmarketing hype before you go shopping"There are four common panel types on the market today, they are#$ %onocrystalline panels$ Polycrystalline panels$ Thin film &amorphous silicon' panels$ (ybrid panels &which are monocrystalline with an embedded layer of thin film'%onocrystalline silicon solar cells

    %onocrystalline panels get their name from the fact that the silicon wafer used to makethem is cut from a single crystal or )boule* of silicon. Silicon is grown in a laboratory toachieve a high degree of purity and is then sliced very thinly to make wafers.+enefits$ %onocrystalline cells have the highest efficiency of any cells on the market under standard operating conditions.$ Their high efficiency means they have the smallest footprint for their output, so you canmaximie power output when roof space is limited.rawbacks$ ue to higher production costs, monocrystalline cells are more expensive than other cells.$ %onocrystalline cells don*t perform as well as polycrystalline cells or thin film under higher temperatures &e.g. /01 2'. 3ll cells are sub!ect to )de-rating* as the ambienttemperature increases, and monocrystalline cells tend to produce less at higher temperatures than the other technologies.Polycrystalline silicon cells#These cells are cut from an ingot of melted and recrystallised silicon. 4n themanufacturing process, molten silicon is cast into ingots of polycrystalline silicon, thensaw-cut into very thin wafers and assembled into complete cells. Polycrystalline cells&also known as multicrystalline' are cheaper to produce than monocrystalline ones, due tothe simpler manufacturing process. (owever, they tend to be slightly less efficient for the

    same sie cell.+enefits$ Polycrystalline cells typically offer a lower cost per watt of power produced.$ These cells have a better temperature de-rating co-efficient compared tomonocrystalline, meaning they produce more power in hotter weather, which usuallymore than offsets their slightly lower cell efficiency.rawbacks$ Polycrystalline cells are slightly less efficient than monocrystalline cells, so they needmore roof space to produce the same output capacity.Thin film silicon#Thin film, or amorphous, silicon cells are made up of silicon atoms in a thin layer rather 

    than a crystal structure. 3morphous silicon can absorb light more readily than crystalline

    silicon, so the cells can be thinner. 5or this reason, amorphous silicon is also known as)thin film* photovoltaic &P6' technology.+enefits$ Thin film offers the best shade tolerance of any solar technology.

    $ When compared with other types of panels, thin film performs best under hotter temperatures.rawbacks$ Thin film has the lowest conversion efficiency of all the panel types$ These panels need about twice the roof space to achieve the same power output as asimilar crystalline panel

    The %anufacturingProcessPurifying the silicon7 The silicon dioxide of either 8uartite gravel or crushed 8uart is placed into an electric arc

    furnace. 3 carbon arc is then applied to release the oxygen. The products are carbon dioxide andmolten silicon. This simple process yields silicon with one percent impurity, useful in manyindustries but not the solar cell industry.7 The 99 percent pure silicon is purified even further using the floating one techni8ue. 3 rod of impure silicon is passed through a heated one several times in the same direction. This procedure:drags: the impurities toward one end with each pass. 3t a specific point, the silicon is deemed

     pure, and the impure end is removed.%aking single crystal silicon7 Solar cells are made from silicon boules, polycrystalline structures that have the atomic structureof a single crystal. The most commonly used process for creating the boule is called the 1ochralskimethod. 4n this process, a seed crystal of silicon is dipped into melted polycrystalline silicon. 3s the

    seed crystal is withdrawn and rotated, a cylindrical ingot or :boule: of silicon is formed. The ingotwithdrawn is unusually pure, because impurities tend to remain in the li8uid.%aking silicon wafers7 5rom the boule, silicon wafers are sliced one at a time using a circular saw whose inner diameter cuts into the rod, or many at once with a multiwire saw. &3 diamond saw produces cuts that are aswide as the wafer;. / millimeter thick.'

    manufacturers.

    Placing electrical contactsD Electrical contacts connect each solar cell to another and to the receiver of produced current. The

    contacts must be very thin &at least in the front' so as not to block sunlight to the cell. %etals suchas palladiumFsilver, nickel, or copper are vacuum-evaporated through a photoresist, silkscreened, or merely deposited on the exposed portion of cells that have been partially covered with wax. 3llthree methods involve a system in which the part of the cell on which a contact is not desired is

     protected, while the rest of the cell is exposed to the metal.7 3fter the contacts are in place, thin strips &:fingers:' are placed between cells. The mostcommonly used strips are tin-coated copper.The anti-reflective coating7 +ecause pure silicon is shiny, it can reflect up to ?/ percent of the sunlight. To reduce the amountof sunlight lost, an anti-reflective coating is put on the silicon wafer. The most commonly usedcoatings are titanium dioxide and silicon oxide, though others are used. The material used for coating is either heated until its molecules boil off and travel to the silicon and condense, or thematerial undergoes sputtering. 4n this process, a high voltage knocks molecules off the material anddeposits them onto the silicon at the opposite electrode. Get another method is to allow the siliconitself to react with oxygen- or nitrogen-containing gases to form silicon dioxide or silicon nitride.1ommercial solar cell manufacturers use silicon nitride.Encapsulating the cell7 The finished solar cells are then encapsulatedH that is, sealed into silicon rubber or ethylene vinylacetate. The encapsulated solar cells are then placed into an aluminum frame that has a mylar or tedlar backsheet and a glass or plastic cover.

    QUESTION 3 # DEFINE IRRADIANCE AND INSOLATION. GIVE DIFFERENCE

    BETWEEN THEM.

    Solar irradiance is a measure of the irradiance &power per unit area on the EarthLs surface' produced by the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which is perceived by humans as sunlight.Solar irradiance in a specific area may be measured as insolation, the solar radiation energy per unitarea during a given time, or as direct insolation, insolation which reaches a location after absorptionand scattering in the atmosphere. Total solar irradiance &TS4', is a measure of the solar radiative

     power per unit area normal to the rays, incident on the EarthLs upper atmosphere. The solar constantis a conventional measure of mean TS4 at a distance of one 3stronomical Mnit &3M'.

    The SunLs energy output varies over the solar cycle. Solar irradiance :varies significantly from one place to another and changes throughout the year: as well as by the EarthLs changing distance fromthe sun.NBO Sunlight only reaches the parts of the Earth that are facing the Sun at any given time.The most intense irradiance is experienced by those parts that are approximately normal to the Sunas the Earth turns4rradiance is a measurement of solar power and is defined as the rate at which solar energy falls

    onto a surface. The unit of power is the Watt &abbreviated W'. 4n the case of solar irradiance weusually measure the power per unit area, so irradiance is typically 8uoted as WFm - that is Watts per s8uare meter. The irradiance falling on a surface can and does vary from moment to moment whichis why it is important to remember that irradiance is a measure of power - the rate that energy isfalling, not the total amount of energy

    The commission noted that VM6R purchased C,IAB million units of renewable energy &@.CA ' in

    AB-AB? as against the re8uired C,?/C million units &@.A ', as per state regulation. +ut even the

    extra C@ million units bought could not cover the shortfall of D?I million units of the previous year 

    which was carried over to AB-AB?.

    This total shortfall to be covered, therefore, amounted to /D9 million units. VM6R had petitioned

    the regulatory commission to waive off this carry over obligation on the ground that there was no

    sufficient renewable energy available in the state to fulfill the re8uirement. Even after tying up

    almost the entire capacity of renewable energy commissioned in the state in AB-B?, =P< could

    not be met,X says VM6R in the petition.

    4t says there was a shortfall in installation of renewable energy, especially wind energy, because of 

    the withdrawal of incentives like Veneration +ase 4ncentive &V+4' and accelerated depreciation for 

    wind pro!ects in %arch AB. The capacity addition of wind power in Vu!arat was A@ %W till

    The net 9/8/9%& 0/9&-* of a power plant is the ratio of its actual output over a period of time, to its potential output if it were possible for it to operate at full nameplate capacity continuously over thesame period of time. To calculate the capacity factor, take the total amount of energy the plant

     produced during a period of time and divide by the amount of energy the plant would have produced at full capacity. 1apacity factors vary greatly depending on the type of  fuel that is usedand the design of the plant.

    1apacity factor and renewable energyNeditOWhen it comes to several renewable energy sources such as solar power , wind

     power  and hydroelectricity, there is a fourth reason for unused capacity. The plant may be capableof producing electricity, but its :fuel: &wind, sunlight or water ' may not be available. 3hydroelectric plantLs production may also be affected by re8uirements to keep the water level fromgetting too high or low and to provide water for fish downstream. (owever, solar, wind andhydroelectric plants do have high availability factors, so when they have fuel available, they arealmost always able to produce electricity.

    When hydroelectric plants have water available, they are also useful for load following, because of

    their high dispatchability. 3 typical hydroelectric plantLs operators can bring it from a stopped

    condition to full power in !ust a few minutes.

    Wind farms are variable, due to the natural variability of the wind. 5or a wind farm, the capacity

    factor is mostly determined by the availability of wind. Transmission line capacity and electricity

    demand also affect the capacity factor. Typical capacity factors of wind farms are between / and

    C/.

    Solar energy is variable because of the daily rotation of the earth, seasonal changes, and because of

    cloud cover. 3ccording to, the Sacramento %unicipal Mtility istrict observed a B/ capacityfactor in AA/. (owever, according to the SolarP31ES programme of the 4nternational Energy3gency &4E3', solar power plants designed for solar-only generation are well matched to summernoon peak loads in areas with significant cooling demands, such as Spain or the south-westernMnited States, although in some locations solar P6 does not reduce the need for generation ofnetwork upgrades given that air conditioner peak demand often occurs in the late afternoon or earlyevening when solar output is ero. SolarP31ES states that by using thermal energy storage systemsthe operating periods of solar thermal power  &1SP' stations can be extended to become dispatchable&load following'. The 4E3 1SP Technology =oadmap &ABA' suggests that :in the sunniestcountries, 1SP can be expected to become a competitive source of bulk power in peak andintermediate loads by AA, and of base-load power by A/ to A?A:. 3 dispatchable source is

    more valuable than baseload power.
