The Basic idea behind a crystalline solar cell: The sun strikes the “p” layer of silicon and kicks an extra electron loose up to the “n” layer. Wires in the n layer collect the extra electrons, which then becomes electrical current.
Solar Power (PV) Basics • Sunlight excites electrons • Electron movement is current • Inverter changes DC electricity to AC • Power is used, stored, or fed back into grid
Typical Residential PV System • 20 SolarWorld 250 Watt Panels • 5 kW • 6,000 kilowatt hours generated annually • 3 day installation time • $22,500 – complete turnkey, permits, wiring, conduit, disconnect • $6,750 Federal Renewable Energy Tax Credit • Other incentives depending on state and utility programs.
