A photovoltaic solar collector with an area of 2 m2 is tracking the sun for 8 hours on a sunny day. Assume that, the solar flux on the collector is constant through the day as 1000W/m2. PV Solar collector properties are:

FF: %75, Efficiency: %18.2

V (MPP, nominal) = 28 V

V (Open Circuit) = 32 V

a) What is the total amount of energy converted to electricity?

b) Assume a reasonable price for the cost of electricity and then calculate the value of electricity ($) produced for whole day.

c) Calculate the generated current and Short Circuit Current.

Near the equator, the Sun is approximately straight overhead at noon, and around 1000 W/m2 solar irradiance reaches Earth. Around this time of day, assuming ambient temperature of 40C, and a 10m x 10m x 2m-tall greenhouse with ¼”-thick glass walls that reflect away 20% of the incoming sunlight, and only thinking of conductive losses, estimate the maximum temperature reached in the interior of the greenhouse. Hint: when are losses and sources balanced? glass conductivity is 1.05 W/(m k)

A solar collector installed on the roof of a SoCal home is used to heat water flowing through ducts attached at the back of the collector. The absorbing surface has an area of 2 m2 with an emissivity of 0.9. The surface temperature of the absorber is 35 °C, and solar radiation is incident on the absorber at 450 W/m2. Temperature of surrounding air is 22 °C. Heat transfer coefficient at the absorber surface is 5 W/m2·K. If water is...
