Solar photovoltaic thermal energy systems1, or PVTs, generate both heat and electricity, but _____ 1 _____ now they2 havent been very good at the heat-generating part compared to a stand-alone3 solar thermal collector. Thats because they operate at low temperatures to cool crystalline silicon solar cells4, which5 1ets the silicon generate more _____ 2 _____ but isnt a very efficient way to gather heat.
Thats a problem of _____ 3_____ . Good solar hot-water systems can harvest much more energy than a solar-electric system at a substantially lower _____ 4 _____ . And its also a space problem:photovoltaic cells can take up all the space on the roof, leaving little room6 for thermal applications.
In a pair of studies, Joshua Pearce, an associate professor of materials science and engineering, has devised a _____ 5_____ in the form of a better PVT made with a different kind of silicon. His research collaborators are Kunal Girotra from ThinSilicon in California and Michael Pathak and Stephen Harrison from Queens University, Canada.
Most solar panels7 are made with crystalline silicon, but you can also make solar cells out of amorphous silicon8, _____ 6_____ known as thin-film silicon9. They dont create as much electricity, but they are lighter, flexible, and cheaper. And, because they_____ 7_____ much less silicon, they have a greener footprint. Unfortunately, thin-film silicon solar cells are _____ 8_____ to some bad-news physics in the form of the Staebler-Wronski effect10.
That means that their efficiency _____ 9_____ when you expose them to light-pretty much11 the worst possible effect12 for a solar cell, Pearce explains, which is one of the 10 thin-film solar panels make up only a small fraction of the market.
However, Pearce and his team found a way to engineer around13 the Staebler-Wronski effect by incorporating thin-film silicon in a new _____ 11_____ of PVT. You dont have to cool down thin-film silicon to make it work. In fact, Pearces group discovered that by heating it to solar-thermal operating temperatures14, near the boiling _____ 12 _____ of water, they could make thicker cells that largely.
_____ 13_____ the Staebler-Wronski effect. When they applied the thin-film silicon directly to a solar thermal energy _____ 14 _____ , they also found that by baking the cell once a day, they _____ 15 _____ the solar cells electrical efficiency by over 10 percent.
