ENERGY FROM THE SUN-
PHOTOVOLTAIC
THERMOCOUPLE
CONNECTION OF SOLAR THERMOCOUPLE TO VOLTMETER
Photovoltaic thermocouple is a large semiconductor component which is capable of converting light into electrical energy.It uses the photovoltaic effect.
DAYLIGHT Big thermocouple:0,443 V Both together:0,751V Small thermocouple:0,239 V
DARKNESS Big thermocouple:0,000V Small thermcouple:0,000V Both together:0,000V
ALUMINUM FOIL FOR LIGHT REFLECTION
Big thermocouple: 0,583V
Small thermocouple:0,318V
Both together:0,894V
THE REFLECTION OF LIGHT FROM THE MIRROR Big thermocouple:1,578V Small thermocouple: 0,412V Both together:1,185V
PAPER COVERING Big thermocouple:0,145V Both together:0,325V
Small thermocouple:0,122V
READING LAMPS Big thermocouple:0,443V Small thermocouple:0,239V Both together:0,751V
FINAL CONSLUSION
-Greater area of a solar thermocouple will get more energy
-solar thermocouples are inefficient because our two solar thermocouples are just able to power the appliance with the low voltage
