Determine the power from the visible, UV, and IR components of sunlight striking the surface of a PV panel with a total irradiance of 500 W/m2 if the panel is 0.5 m square. What is the energy in kWh if the specified irradiance is on the panel for 10 hours?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Determine the fill factor for a PV cell with IOC = 3 A and VOC =0.55 V if the power at the maximum power point is 1.75 W.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Incident P = (500 W/m2)(0.5 m2) 250 W

Incident W = Pt = (250 W)(10 h) = 2500 Wh = 2.5 kWh

Answer to Question 2

FF = (VMPP)(IMPP) / (VOC)(ISC) = PMPP / (VOC)(IOC) = 1.75 W / (0.55 V)(3 A) = 1.06

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
