Course: ELTR 2334 Solar Photovoltaic Technology > Section: ELTR 2334 Solar Photovoltaic Technology

Q: Give the decade during which the “photovoltaic effect” was discovered (i.e. 1960s 1780s, etc.) or name who was the President of the United States of America when that discovery was made.

Q: Define or describe “the photovoltaic effect.”

Q: There are several, general ways – or modes -- in which PV technology is applied.  One of those is called “utility interactive.” Name one of the others.

Q: Based on your answer to the previous question, what is another of the basic PV application modes?

Q: Name one entity or body that has some kind of influence or control over the standards applied to the manufacturing of solar-PV hardware.

Q: In which decade did Bell Labs develop the first, “practical” solar cell?  1920s?  1930s? A different decade? Name the correct decade.

Q: Modern, “crystalline” solar cells are made from what semiconductor element?

Q: Name one entity or body that has some kind of influence or control over the installation of solar-PV systems.

Q: Name and describe one, SPECIFIC application for solar cells, or for a solar-PV module, or array.  Example (and you can’t use this one): “to provide electric power for a small, hand held, electronic calculator.”

Q: Based on your answer to the previous question, name and describe one MORE, SPECIFIC application for solar cells, or for a solar-PV module, or array.  Example (and you can’t use this one): “to provide electric power for a small, hand held, electronic calculator.”
