Light shining on solar panels
Research in low concentration photovoltaics (PV systems) will help us in northern climes and cloudy places to find a bit more sunshine. Check out Joshua's latest paperon this.
Joshua first got interested in this work based on research he did at Queen's University looking at how snow acts as a reflector. here at Michigan Tech, we get more than 15 feet of snow.
Not all reflectors are equal nor are the models to understand them. Joshua explains what they used in their study to make this connection.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university founded in 1885 in Houghton, Michigan, and is home to more than 7,000 students from 55 countries around the world. Consistently ranked among the best.
BDRF (Bi-Directional Reflectance Function) is what makes videogames, Pixar and action flicks so good. The models predict how light scatters depending on different.When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell.
When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell.
When light strikes the surface of a solar cell, some photons are reflected, while others pass right through. Some of the absorbed photons have their energy turned into heat.
It involves a combination of organic luminescent particles that absorb UV light and convert it to visible light, and a solar film that then converts that visible light into energy.
There are a few reasons you may see the light shining off your solar panels:Glass. From redirecting light with a magnifying glass to seeing the light reflect off your neighbour’s window, you’ve probably seen how well glass can reflect light. Aluminium busbars. Solar panels need to transport electricity from the panels, through to an inverter; busbars are used for transporting the energy.
