WARNING
: Solar panels generate electricity when exposed to any light source; electrical
shock and burns can result from direct contact with the panel terminals. Cover the panel
surface with an opaque material before handling the electrical connections to the panel.
Additional hazards exist whenever the panels are wet..

3.0 THEORY OF OPERATION
3.1 Solar Resource
The intensity of sunlight falling on a surface is called the solar
irradiance
and is commonly
measured in units of
Watts per square meter
(W/m²). Just outside the earth’s atmosphere
a nearly constant
irradiance
of 1360 (W/m²) falls on a flat surface normal (90°) to the sun’s
rays. The earth’s atmosphere reflects and absorbs about 30% of the solar spectrum giving
a full sun
irradiance
of approximately 1000 (W/m²) at the earth’s surface; this value is
called the
peak sunlight
irradiance.
