Solar
101: An Introduction to PhotoVoltaic Technologies
PRESENTED
BY Andy
Behr
Solar Business Development Manager
Hisco http://www.hiscoinc.com PRESENTATION
ABSTRACT
Photovoltaic
(PV) devices convert photons from the sun directly into electricity.
The sunlight is absorbed by a semiconducting substrate resulting in
electrons being driven across the n-p boundary of semiconductor, which
creates an electrical current. PV panels, like other semiconductor devices,
are solid state devices. PV installations may last twenty or more years
in the field. PV technologies can be deployed in a variety of applications
including consumer, military, residential, commercial and utility scale
solar farms. A variety of semiconductors are commercially employed in
photovoltaic panels. Crystalline silicon technology has been around
since the 1954 and it still represents the majority of PV production
today. Thin-Film technologies including Amorphous Silicon, Cadmium Telluride,
Copper Indium Gallium Diselenide and Gallium Arsenide are now commercially
available and making significant in-roads in the solar market. Organic
PV and Dye Sensitized Solar Cells are developmental technologies that
show promise. PV panels may be configured in many ways. Two of the more
common approaches are Flat-Plate solar panels and Concentrated PV (CPV).
Flat-Plate panel configurations are the most common format and may be
either rigid or flexible construction. CPV uses mirrors, lenses or a
combination of optical devices to focus sunlight onto the semiconductor.
