To comprehend the intricate choreography of the photovoltaic effect, one must first grasp the fundamental concepts of solar radiation and semiconductor physics. Solar radiation, the radiant energy emitted by the sun, serves as the primary source of energy for PV systems.
Assuming PV modules with 20% efficiency, a PV installation with a performance ratio of 0.9, and that the family lives in London, UK, where the annual solar irradiation is 1230 kWh/m 2, estimate the required PV capacity to produce the same energy as they consume annually and the area of the rooftop that needs to be covered to supply that energy.
A photovoltaic (PV) cell, also known as “solar cell,” is a semiconductor device that generates electricity when light falls on it . Although the French scientist Edmund Becquerel observed photovoltaic effect in 1839, it was not fully comprehensible until the development of quantum theory of light and solid state physics in early to middle 1900s.
The energy consumed in the manufacturing must be comprehensive – in the case of solar PV, it must account for the energy needed to mine, transport, refine, produce, and deliver all the module subcomponents, the assembly of the module, and eventually its recycling at the end of its life.
To that end, fundamental economic parameters such as the discount rate, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the net present value (NPV), and the internal rate of return (IRR) are introduced and applied. Finally, the policy-support mechanisms most relevant to solar PV are reviewed.
