Harnessing the Energy:

Lighting

Electricity

Heating

Solar Water Heating/Cooking Effective way of harnessing energy Low startup cost Simple construction

Photovoltaics Use specific band-gap semiconductors Inverters/Batteries p material n material

Photovoltaics We will estimate the cost of a controller to be ~$200; various fuses/disconnects/ circuit breakers to be ~$80, wiring and terminations to be ~ $100, one 1000 watt inverter to be ~$300, one voltmeter to be ~$40. 3 solar ~$400 each = ~$ L-16 ~$250 each = ~$ – Controller/fuses/inverter/voltmeter = ~$ 720. TOTAL = ~$2,420.*
