Engineering 10 Fall 2010 Team 6 Project 0 Part 2 - Solar Panel Presentation

1. Solar Panels Team: 6 Project:0 Part:2 Team Leader: John Sullivan Members: ShaMaula, Karl Laguerre, Chris Pyman

4. A certain portion of the light is absorbed into the PV cells.

5. The absorbed energy from the light causes electrons in PV cells to be knocked free and to flow freely.

6. Electrons are forced by the PV cells to form a current.

8. Day 1: Preperation

9. Day 2: Installation

10. Day 3: Circuitry and Wiring

11. Day 4: Wiring to external power source

12. Approximate Cost: $170.00

13. Materials Needed:

14. 12 volt Photovoltaic Panel

15. ¼” Mono Plug (x2)

16. DC Solar Charge Controller

17. 12 Volt 12-AH Rechargeable Battery

18. 10’ 18 Gauge Wire

19. Cigarette Lighter “Y” Adapter

20. 200 Watt Power Inverter

21. Wood Hardware for Mounting 1x3x4

24. Transmission: Finding a more efficient way to transmit electricity

25. Power Electronics: Developing new electronic devices and/or circuits to control power flow

27. This includes the technology used to harness energy from wind, water, and the sun.

29. Who were the inventor(s) of Solar Panel technology?
