5 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Syllabus]
What will I learn in a photovoltaic engineering course?
You will become familiar with commercial and emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies and various cross-cutting themes in PV: conversion efficiencies, loss mechanisms, characterization, manufacturing, systems, reliability, life-cycle analysis, and risk analysis.
What are the different types of solar technology?
Long‐ PV: Visible sunlight converted into heat, which powers IR‐responsive photovoltaic devices. Hybrids Possible (e.g., combined cycle power plant): The above, in tandem with another fuel (e.g., natural gas). Please see lecture video for example images of each type of solar technology.
How long is a photoelectric conversion course?
Lectures: 2 sessions / week, 1.5 hours / session Recitations: 1 session / week, 1 hour / session In this course, you will learn about the fundamentals of photoelectric conversion: charge excitation, conduction, separation, and collection.
Who teaches photovoltaics at MIT?
This class is primarily taught by Prof. Tonio Buonassisi and with TAs Stephanie Scott and Dr. Tim Kirkpatrick. Other members of the MIT PVLab occasionally teach labs and deep dive tutorials. Prof. Buonassisi’s research is focused on bringing photovoltaics mainstream via technology innovations.
How many technologies exist to convert solar radiant energy?
Several hundreds of technologies exist to convert solar radiant energy into other usable forms that perform work for humanity. Please see lecture video for example images of each type of solar panel. To make sense of this technology space, and to produce meaningful technology assessments and projections, a technology framework is helpful.
