Standard solar panels transform 3,600,000 J of input light energy into 720,000 J of useful electrical energy. The new solar panels that mimic butterfly wings are thought to have double the energy efficiency.

Calculate the energy efficiency of the new solar panel improved through biomimicry.

Respuesta :

Answer:

5

Explanation:

we divide 3600000J by 720,000J

and after that the answer will be 5

3600,000J

---------------

720,000J

The energy efficiency of the new solar panel improved through biomimicry would be 40%

What is solar energy?


The energy transferred from the Sun in the form of electromagnetic radiation is known as the solar energy

It can be used as the thermal energy for various life purposes as well as for the electricity conversion with the help of solar photovoltaic cells
The solar energy efficiency is the ratio of total electrical Energy converted to the total heat energy received from the solar photovoltaic panel energy-efficient see depend upon the area of the solar panel and the design of solar panel.

Solar panel efficiency = electrical energy /thermal energy received


As per the given problem standard solar panels transform 360 000 joules of input light energy into 720000 of useful electrical energy
The efficiency of solar panel = 720000/3600000

                                                =0.20

In percentage terms the solar panel efficiency would be 20%


As given in the problem that new solar panels that mimic butterfly wings are thought to have double the energy-efficiency

The efficiency of solar panel = 1440000/3600000

                                                =0.40

Hence,the efficiency of the new solar panels improve through biomimicry would be 40%
