A typical home may require a total of 2.00 * 103kWhof energy per month. Suppose you would like to obtain thisenergy from sunlight, which has an average daylight intensity of1.00 * 103W>m2. Assuming that sunlight is available 8.0 h perday, 25 d per month (accounting for cloudy days), and that youhave a way to store energy from your collector when the Sun isn’tshining, determine the smallest collector size that will providethe needed energy, given a conversion efficiency of 25%.
Converting sunlight to electricity with solar cells has an efficiency of ≈15,. It’s possible to achieve a higher efficiency (though currently at higher cost) by using concentrated sunlight as the hot reservoir of a heat engine. Each dish as shown concentrates sunlight on one side of a heat engine, producing a hotreservoir temperature of 650°C. The cold reservoir, ambient air, is approximately 30°C. The actual working efficiency of this device is ≈30,. What is the theoretical maximum efficiency?
