You wish to install a solar panel that will run at least five 15-W LED lightbulbs, an LCD TV (300 W), and a microwave (1500 W). What is the area the panel should have if the average sunlight incident on a photoelectric solar collector on a roof for the 8-h time interval is 800 W/m2 and the radiant energy is converted to electricity with an efficiency of 23 %?

A community plans to build a facility to convert solar radiation to electrical power. The community requires 2.80 MW of power, and the system to be installed has an efficiency of 30.0% (that is, 30.0% of the solar energy incident on the surface is converted to useful energy that can power the community). Assuming sunlight has a constant intensity of 1 160 W/m2, what must be the effective area of a perfectly absorbing surface used in such an installation? _________...

Sunlight hits the solar cell below and three things happen: some light is reflected by the solar cell; some light is converted to electrical energy; and the air around the solar cell heats up a bit. The energy flow diagram for the system that includes the sun and a photovoltaic (or solar) cell is shown below on the right A. Which form(s) of energy belong to the system? Note that Elight represents the light reflected by the solar cell. (Select...

One goal of the Russian space program is to illuminate dark northern cities with sunlight reflected to the Earth from a 200 m diameter mirrored surface in orbit. Several smaller prototypes have already been constructed and put into orbit. (a) Assume that sunlight with intensity 1340 W/m2 falls on the mirror nearly perpendicularly and that the atmosphere of the Earth allows 78.3% of the energy of sunlight to pass though it in clear weather. What is the power received by...

In a solar water heater, energy from the Sun is gathered by water that circulates through tubes in a rooftop collector. The solar radiation enters the collector through a transparent cover and warms the water in the tubes; this water is pumped into a holding tank. Assume that the efficiency of the overall system is 29.0% (that is, 71% of the incident solar energy is lost from the system). What collector area is necessary to raise the temperature of 430...
