Photovoltaic people must understand the solar photovoltaic knowledge
I. What is PV
In 1839, Becquerel in France discovered for the first time that under light conditions, certain solid systems have a voltage at both ends and when the two ends are connected with a wire, there is a current output, this is the photovoltaics (PV) effect
In 1954, Bell Labs Chapin et al. developed a single product silicon solar electric ground with an efficiency of 6 % and the modern silicon solar electric time has since begun.
Solar photovoltaics are realised by using solar electric panels made from semiconductors such as silicon to generate direct current electricity from light. Since 1958, the solar photovoltaic effect has been used for the first time in the form of solar electricity in the field of power supply for space satellites. To this day, its application in the field of power generation has been worldwide, from the supply of energy for automatic parking meters and rooftop solar panels to vast areas of solar power generation centres.
Photovoltaic technology offers many advantages:
1. the absence of any mechanical running parts;
2. it does not require any fuel other than sunlight
3. it works in both direct and incidental sunlight
4. no maintenance required for the solar modules, minimising running costs
5. The location is convenient and flexible, and can be used on the roofs of buildings and open spaces in the city.
II. Types of photovoltaic
1、Monocrystalline photovoltaic products
The main methods for growing single crystals of silicon are the straight pulling method (cz method) and the flame-zone method (fz method), and single crystal products are widely used in our lives in:
1. semiconductor devices - from our computers and mobile phones to our electric toys, the core control parts of which are chips made of single crystal silicon products;
2. Photovoltaic - the initial development of photovoltaic products are mainly monocrystalline photovoltaic, with good stability and power generation efficiency
Monocrystalline photovoltaic products - through the straight pulling method or zone melting method (at present, photovoltaic mainly uses straight pulling method monocrystalline) to pull single crystal rods, and then sliced into silicon wafers (JinkoSolar, the city's leading photovoltaic manufacturing enterprise, ranks first in the world in crystal growth and slicing industry) and then made into cells through the cell process, and then encapsulated into final modules
◆Advantages - good stability and high power generation capacity;
◆Disadvantages - relatively weak scale effect, relatively high cost
2、Polycrystalline photovoltaic products
Polycrystalline photovoltaic products - through the directional solidification method (dss method) to produce polysilicon ingots, then sliced into wafers, and then made into cells through the cell process, and then encapsulated into the final module.
The current production of polysilicon ingots in the industry is 600KG, 800KG and 1200KG per furnace.
◆Advantages: high output and low cost.
Disadvantages: conversion efficiency is slightly lower than that of monocrystalline silicon PV products
3、Film solar products
◆ thin film solar photovoltaic products - thin film solar cells are divided into two categories according to the substrate: hard substrate and flexible substrate, by making a very thin (um scale) film on the substrate, the use of thin film layer for power generation products.
Compared to mono-polycrystalline PV products:
Advantages - light weight, foldable and not easily broken.
Disadvantages - a lower conversion efficiency at present.

IV. Application of photovoltaic power
1、Military
Military applications lead the city, in addition to the application of familiar spacecraft, satellites. In field combat also has a good application, because the solar power supply has a relatively light weight, the use of a person does not need to operate, can swim take the advantages of inexhaustible, the use of flexible sheet solar cells can first ensure better concealment of the single soldier and equipment, because the diesel generator now used is easy to send out infrared and noise. As an energetic original supplement, photovoltaic products greatly enhance the emergency communication and survivability of the single soldier communication equipment and the mobility and concealment of the single soldier.
2. Civilian
Photovoltaic power generation products are mainly used in three major areas: first, to provide power for occasions without electricity; second, solar energy daily electronic products, such as all kinds of solar chargers, solar street lamps and solar lawn all kinds of lamps and lanterns; third, grid-connected power generation, to 2009, China's grid-connected power generation has not yet begun to fully promote However, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games part of the electricity is provided by solar power generation and district power generation, since Since 2013, China has added more than 10 million kilowatts of new installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation for three consecutive years; by the end of 2015, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation reached about 43 million kilowatts, surpassing Germany as the world's number one. By the end of 2016, China had installed 34.54 million kilowatts of new photovoltaic power generation capacity and 77.42 million kilowatts of cumulative installed capacity, making both new and cumulative installed capacity the world's largest.
Advantages of photovoltaic solar power plants:
1. no danger of depletion;
2. safe and reliable, no noise, no pollution emissions outside, absolutely clean (no public hazards);
3. not limited by the geographical distribution of resources, can take advantage of the roof of the building
4. local power generation and supply without the need to consume natural materials or set up transmission lines
5. high quality of energy
6. easy emotional acceptance by users
7. short construction period and short time spent on energy acquisition.
