Solar energy is to be a major primary energy source; utilization requires solar capture and conversion. In this course we will discuss about various photovoltaics technologies, different
scale solar projects in the U.S. by examining the major players and steps in a complex process. Students will learn that professionals with expertise in law, engineering, real estate, public
center has produced curriculum, syllabus and module for solar power system with the following outline: 484.03MW of capacity have been approved across all forms of generation. PV for
Solar thermal electric power generation – solar pond and concentrating solar collector (parabolic trough, parabolic dish, central tower collector), advantages and disadvantages; solar
Types of Solar Power Plant, Its construction, working, advantages and disadvantages. Hence, to produce electrical power on a large scale, solar PV panels are used. In this article, we will
Understand how public policy affects utility-scale solar development. Define the role of developer, sponsor, EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) provider, lender, and tax equity
This is a sample syllabus. The course explores the main physical principles of key technologies for solar energy conversion systems, including photovoltaics, concentrating photovoltaics
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
