Solar Energy Labs – Part 2 ENGR 1181

Solar Cells in the Real World Solar 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 Objectives After 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.

Lab Setup

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  Look at the procedure in color
