E2165: Harvesting Solar Energy With Semiconductors in Splash! Spring 2012 (Apr. 21 - 22, 2012)
This class will investigate how it is possible to capture sun rays and convert them into electricity. We will briefly study light as an electromagnetic wave, semiconductor materials, atoms, and electrons. We will follow a light ray as it travels from the sun, into the Earth's atmosphere, and into a solar panel. Within the solar panel, we will investigate what happens when light enters the material, why electrons begin to flow, and how we use the flow of electrons as electricity.
