This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to photovoltaics and the basics of electricity. Participants will learn about electrical current, voltage, and power, and how they relate to series and parallel circuits. The differences between AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) will be explored, providing insights into their applications in solar power systems. Additionally, the workshop will cover photovoltaic cell efficiency, net metering, and the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy. Hands-on experiments will enhance understanding of optimal power production conditions.

Transcription de la présentation
  1. Energy from the Sun Workshop Introduction to Photovoltaics

  2. Electricity Basics • Electrical Current – how many electrons • Voltage – how hard they’re pushed • Power – what they can accomplish • Circuit – where they can go • Series Circuit – one pathway only • Parallel Circuit – so many choices!

  3. Parallel vs. Series Circuits Parallel circuits • maintain potential (voltage is constant) • Current is divided among components • If one light goes out, the others stay lit Series circuits • maintain electrical flow (current is constant) • Voltage is divided among components • Easy to open circuit quickly

  4. DC vs. AC Direct Current • “Battery power” • Electronics use • Requires prohibitively high voltage to transmit over long distance Alternating Current • EASY to generate • Can be transformed in voltage • Can be limited while keeping voltage high • Can be transmitted over long distance without super-high voltage
