Light Amplification to Improving Solar Cell Efficiency
| Challenge: | Energy | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Bay Area | | City: | Dundas, ON | | School: | Canadian Martyrs E.S. | | Abstract: | I investigated the properties of a Fresnel lens to funnel and concentrate light and explore how that might work with a solar cell to improve the current output. The Fresnel lens was at base lengths of 12cm to 8cm from heights of 10cm to 50cm with the light 60cm and 200cm from the solar cell. Apparatus, the Light Funnel and the Lens Adjustor allowed this. |
