Photovoltaic Arrays

“The use of photovoltaic (PV) arrays to generate electricity could solve a large percentage of the energy demands for future generations.”

Here is your task –

In no less than five printed pages (12 pt font, single spaced, 1 inch margins) summarize the following:

1. CURRENT PV Technology - discuss what the current state-of-the-art“ is in photovoltaic arrays. Cite most recent performance as it relates to achievable sunlight conversion efficiencies (%), watts per square foot of PV electricity generation, and current commercial cost per square foot of PV panels. Discuss how these values have improved over the past 10 years.

2. NEW TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS - discuss what electrical engineers and scientist project will be the performance of photovoltaics arrays in the future (within the next 10 years). Highlight what are the EE challenges to achieving these goals.

Remember to cite all information sources.
