SiO2 is the material that is commonly used as an anti-reflection coating for the solar cells. It is well known and was investigated in the path. In this thesis it is regarded, as one of the possible methods to improve the performance just by adding anti-reflection layer. For the SHJ solar cell additional layer of such material at the top of the structure may enhance the efficiency of the device. The main idea is to apply at the top of the flat structure the layer of etched SiO2, which can form…

Before the Prime Meridian Conference of 1884, almost every country in the world had some method of time recognition and a local prime meridian, which was in operation. Most people calculated time based upon the sun. Some communities used instruments to observe the suns zenith at noon. And with the development of the pendulum clock, in the 17th century, the observance of time was sufficiently accurate and was used at sea to determine longitudes in the 18th century. As travel improved, and forms…

Elizabeth Baker lived thousands of years ago, during the Middle Ages. She lived in a cottage with her entire family.

When they were not walking to and from church, however, they were doing chores because they had no electricity to light their house at night. Elizabeth lived without electricity and air conditioning. Today we are fortunate to have these privileges but what would happen if the world ran out of…

The first public street was installed in the Moorish Empire capital, Cordoba, Spain, in the 10th century. These lights were made of kerosene lanterns. In the following centuries, street lights went through many changes. Unfortunately, street lights have no reached many cities in Haiti. In fact, it was impossible for cities and towns without electricity to have street lights. We're hoping with the emergence of new street light technologies and renewable energy technologies that street lights…

This report is a preamble assignment based on the Rex Hill Solar project. It states whether the project is viable and whether the Rex Hill winery can be able to continue with it or not by considering the benefits or the advantages associated with the project. Solar energy is one of the efficient energies that can be experienced on earth. It uses the sun and converts its rays into electricity. The connections involved are a little bit of lower cost than when the electricity is used. With better…

Learning is very important to me and I take the opportunity to go to college very seriously. Learning has always played a significant role in my life. Not only in school, but also outside of it, I have strived to learn more whether it be about space or the stock market. I know where I want to go in life and an Engineering degree from Texas A&M would only be the beginning. Primarily, my interest lies in sustainable power sources for the future of mankind, but more specifically solar energy. Solar…

Do Solar Covers Really Work? Solar energy is increasing in popularity lately, especially when you consider the high cost of heating with electrical energy. Solar power comes from eliciting the sun rays to a silicon panel which transforms the sunlight into heat or energy. If you are thinking about purchasing a solar cover or a solar blanket, you should know a couple of things first. With all of the advertisements, I'm sure it's confusing to know which one is best. Let's review the pros and…
