  1. Photovoltaic and Thermal Energy By: Sharrod Dejah, Nande & Antonio

  2. Description • a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity using semiconductors that exhibit the photovoltaic effect. • a technology for harnessing solar energy for thermal energy. Photovoltaic Thermal Energy

  3. How it works • Photons hit the modules silicon solar cells causing energy to transfer freeing up electrons • Electrons create positive and negative charges creating electrical power • More light = More power • Takes heat and generator then turns to electricity Photovoltaic Thermal Energy

  4. Region & Places they’re found in • Germany • Denmark • Northern Europe • California • Arizona • Nevada Photovoltaic Thermal Energy

  5. cost • Based on quantity of pallets along with the square ft. of the house it usually costs about $6,056. • $20,000 to set it up Photovoltaic Thermal Energy

  6. What is done with the extra energy • Homes can be build to produce more energy to produce more energy than it consumes and price it for less than 400,000

  7. Active vs. Passive • Active: Using actual contraptions to generate electricity Ex. A solar panel • Passive: Buildings can be designed to collect store and distribute solar energy as heat. Photovoltaic Thermal Energy

  8. Pros • Non polluting • Completely renewable • Long term saving • Little or no transition • Available everywhere • Renewable • Non-polluting • Low maintenance Photovoltaic Thermal Energy

  9. cons • Fragile materials • Produce AC current • Aesthetic issues • Low energy intensity • Expensive • Inconsistent • storage Photovoltaic Thermal Energy
