© Sundolier, Inc. Photo Voltaic - up to 20% - Currently about 15% Concentrating Photo Voltaic - Up to 50% - Currently about 25% Solar Thermal ◦ - up to 80%, 33% on conversion Light - Can be 90% Efficient Efficiency PV & CPV Panel Efficiency (%): The conversion efficiency of a PV cell is the proportion of sunlight energy that the cell converts to electrical energy. LIGHT Efficiency: Useful light that makes it into the space Heat, Glare, High Contrast can be a problem.

Roberts, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry The right light (Blue wavelengths) on the Retina stimulates the hypothalamus, this results in activity in the: pituitary (growth, blood pressure, reproduction), pineal (sleep/wake), adrenal (stress) and thyroid (metabolism)glands. Daylight does more than make us feel good, sunlight changes wavelengths from sunrise to sunset setting our rhythm. Light and Immunomodulation Joan E. Roberts, Ph.D., Professor of Chemistry
