Graph the data Some Energy Basics Solar Cell - How it works The solar cell works in several steps: § Photons hit the solar panel and are absorbed by semiconducting materials, such as silicon. § Electrons are excited (Photoelectric Effect). § Once excited an electron can either dissipate the energy (purity) as heat or travel through the cell until it reaches an electrode. § Current flows through the material to cancel the potential. Silicon is used in two layers, one layer being bonded with boron, the other phosphorus. These layers have different chemical electric charges and subsequently both drive and direct the current of electrons. § An inverter can converts the DC power to AC. Pyranometer - TI calculators Irradiance - Watts/m2 (the radiant lux that is received by a surface) Question: How does the inclination angle affect the irradiance? § Graph irradiance versus angle § Think of applying the principles of Inquiry. Vocabulary: Irradiance, Watts, Energy, Power, Inclination, Optimum

Dale Jensen taught Chemistry and Physics in Oregon at North Medford High School for the last 33 years. When he retired, Dale became active conducting various workshops for the College Board. But teachers must teach, so Dale took a job teaching Chemistry and Physics at Syracuse High School in Utah. When his father-in-laws health brought him back to Oregon, Dale was offered a position at St. Mary’s High School. For the past twenty-one years Dale has enjoyed teaching AP Physics; teaching AP Chemistry; being active as a Reader/Table Leader; and working as a consultant for the College Board conducting weekend and week-long workshops. In 2007, Dale was appointed and served on the SAT Test Development Committee for the Chemistry specific test. In 2014, Dale presented a two day AP Chemistry workshop in Xiamen, China.
