1 TENESOL-Total Energie PHOTOVOLTAICS IN EUROPE Mario Bernardo Greece Nov 18th and 19th, 2005

2 Contents General technical aspects Presentation of TENESOL-TOTAL ENERGIE Global overview of photovoltaic trends Production of PV modules in TENESA (South Africa) Examples of building applications

3 Solar Radiation on Earth Usable Quantities of Solar Radiation 1400 W /m 2 Above the Atmosphere 1000 W / m 2 At Ground Level ~100 W / m 2 Conversion by Photovoltaic Modules 500 W / m 2 Thermal Collector Photovoltaic cells transform solar radiation directly into electricity

4 Photovoltaic Cells (1)

5 Construction of a Module The cells are encapsulated with the EVA and then a gasket and aluminum frame is put around the glass to seal it against the environment. FRAME GLASS EVA GASKET 36 CELLS RIBBON

6 Photovoltaic Cells (3) The phenomenon of making electricity with light is caused by the interaction Photons of light with atoms in the photovoltaic cell. N - Type External Circuit P-Type Electric Current
