How PV Works How PV Works

  • A typical silicon PV cell is composed of a thin wafer consisting of an ultra-thin

layer of phosphorus-doped (N-type) silicon on top of a thicker layer of boron- doped (P-type) silicon

  • An electrical field is created near the top surface of the cell where these two

materials are in contact, called the P-N junction

  • When sunlight strikes the surface of a PV cell, this electrical field provides

momentum and direction to light-stimulated electrons, resulting in a flow of current when the solar cell is connected to an electrical load

SLIDE 10

PV Systems PV Systems

  • Although a PV array produces power when exposed to sunlight, a number
  • f other components are required to properly conduct, control, convert,

distribute, and store the energy produced by the array

  • Depending on the functional and operational requirements of the system,

the specific components required may include major components such as a DC-AC power inverter, battery bank, system and battery controller, auxiliary energy sources and sometimes the specified electrical load (appliances) (appliances)

  • Irradiance is the amount of

solar power striking a given area and is a measure of the intensity of the sunshine intensity of the sunshine

S l F t & Fi ti S l F t & Fi ti Solar Facts & Fiction Solar Facts & Fiction

Myth #1: Solar (PV) can power my entire facility. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. Most of the time, roof space doesn't allow for enough power density as it relates to the conversion efficiency

  • f the panels. In addition, most businesses pay considerably less for their

nighttime use than their daytime use and since the sun only shines during the day it makes more sense to buy from your utility at night the day, it makes more sense to buy from your utility at night. A typical solar installation can displace 10-40% of a facility's reliance on the grid.

Myth #2: Solar doesn’t work in Illinois because of the terrible weather Myth #2: Solar doesn t work in Illinois because of the terrible weather here.

  • WRONG. Have you ever been to Germany? There is more solar power

produced in Germany than anywhere else in the world. Did you know that we have almost as much sun in Chicago as they have in Miami, Florida? Solar can succeed anywhere with the right cost structure and the appropriate incentives.

Myth #3:The Obama administration will pay for my entire solar array.

  • WRONG. In Illinois you can get up to 60% of the installed system cost in

the form of a cash grant. States vary in how much they will pay. In Indiana you get GOOSE EGG. In Massachusetts, depending on the size of the system, you could have 40% of the system paid for.

Environmental Benefits Environmental Benefits Environmental Benefits Environmental Benefits

  • Less Air Pollution - no on-site air pollution associated with fossil fuel

Less Air Pollution no on site air pollution associated with fossil fuel energy generation, which increases health care costs and harms the environment

  • Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions - typical residential PV system

reduces greenhouse gas emissions as much as removing one car from the road

  • Lower Water Consumption - solar PV uses 98% less water per MW-

hour generated than even the most efficient natural gas generation
