Snowy solar panels can also mains street lamp power?

Install solar panels is a good way to energy conservation and environmental protection. However, for people who live in cold climates, snow can cause big problems. Snowy solar panels can also power? Joshua, associate professor at Michigan tech Pierce



to install solar panels 【 Solar cell is also known as 'solar cells' or 'cell', is a kind of electricity generation by using sunlight directly photoelectric semiconductor wafer. 】 Is a good way to energy conservation and environmental protection. However, for [live in cold climates Cold regions refers to meet - most of the average temperature in our country 10 ℃ ~ 0 ℃, the average daily temperature of 5 ℃ or less days for 90 ~ 145 days of area, is one of the five climate zones in China. 】 The snow can cause big problems. Snowy solar panels 【 Solar panels, 太阳能板) Is by absorbing sunlight, the solar radiation through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect directly or indirectly converted into electrical energy device, the main material of most of the solar panel as the 'silicon', but because of the production cost is larger, so it widely used, we still have some limitations. 】 Can also power?

the polytechnic university of Michigan 【 Polytechnic university of Michigan ( 密西根科技大学,简称MTU) Located in Michigan, campus is located in the city (the state's upper peninsula houghton 霍顿) , near Canada, one of the five great lakes lake superior tributaries flows through the campus, and beautiful scenery. 】 Associate professor Joshua Pierce said: if the snow cover panels completely, only a small portion of the light from the sun through the snow exposure to solar panels, so obviously less energy. ”

he said, even if only a small amount of snow cover panels will greatly reduce the capacity of the whole system. ”

about these problems, is currently on the solar panels in cold climate research can continue to generate electricity.

loss is expected to affect solar energy users in energy expenditure, but only for those who rely solely on solar photovoltaic power generation' Photovoltaic power generation is based on the principle of the optical born v effect, using solar cells convert sunlight directly into electricity. 】 And do not implement traditional grid power users only caused serious influence.

for most still have power supply of homes and businesses, the economic effects are limited. But in terms of best improve solar energy utilization, energy loss is still a question.

the study also includes the snow of the positive influence on the formation of solar panels.

when snow fall to the ground, and panels are not covered by anything, snow is like a mirror of the earth to the sun fired back, such panels generating capacity will increase, & throughout; Pierce said that in many cases, the reflection effect of snow can be a little promote photovoltaic power generation. ”

Pierce described them in the case of a snow several methods to improve solar panels generating capacity.

snow power tips:

1.

timely removal of snow at this time you may need a tennis. Use vibrations in bounce tennis in the tilt of the panels to make snow slide is a good way. Of course, also can use other tools. So that you will find your generating system effectiveness multiplication;

2。 Large Angle to install solar panels

so can reduce the accumulation of snow speed, was relieved from the trouble of removing snow from time to time. In your hesitation is exactly select 30 or 40 degrees, apparently 40 would be a better solution. ” Pierce said.

3。

a little distance away from the place when installation will not slip in the snow accumulation at the bottom, so slowly accumulate to cover the entire battery components.
