Design Summary Reader Response - Draft 4 (Final Draft)

 The Economic Times released an article “What are solar light panels and how do they work” (2019) that explained to readers the purpose, application, and features of solar light panels. Solar Panels consist of solar cells that are made from silicon crystals, which are the main semiconductive material used in photovoltaic technology to generate solar power from sunlight. The same article stated that “The solar light panel system comprises of PV modules, electrical connections, mounting hardware, power conditioning equipment and batteries for storing the generated electricity” (2019). Since the system has a small number of components, it can be easily installed in homes, modes of transportation, industrial estates, and streetlights to reduce electricity costs and, indirectly global warming. In addition, solar panels can also be used in a variety of climates and extreme environmental conditions, for example, saltwater environments due to the design (Marsh, 2017). Solar panels usually have

Critical Reflection

Dear Prof Brad Blackstone, Looking back at the past 13 weeks, I have seen myself grow exponentially in terms of writing and speaking proficiency. I was surprised by my abilities when applying the knowledge that I learned in class to my part-time job as a Sales Technical Staff at YouthGenesMarket. I felt that Kolb’s Experimental Learning Style has the greatest impact on my learning throughout the module. This learning style consists of 4 different parts, it started with coming across an experience that could be new or a reinterpretation of an existing experience. It leads to reflecting on that new exposure and identifying the inconsistencies of that new exposure with our past experience. Subsequently, we will be able to modify or create an imaginatively new concept and apply it to our daily lives. This learning style provides a framework for how I am able proceed when I was exposed to a new working environment. It can exemplify in my part-time job where I have to pitch our product to cu

Design Summary Reader Response of Solar Panel - Draft 1

 T he webpage about “Solar Panel (University of Calgary, 2020)” introduces to readers about the materials and features of a solar panel. The solar light panels consist of a photovoltaic module (PV) that is assembled with multiple solar cells (The Economic Times, 2019), it comprises of silicon, phosphorous, and baron (University of Calgary, 2020). Solar Energy is harvested when the panel is exposed to direct sunlight and the energy is absorbed by the PV cells to form electrical charges which travel along the internal electrical field inside the cell, creating electricity (Solect, n.d). Firstly, solar panels are very durable and deteriorate at a very slow pace. An article reported “Solar Panel last for about 25 – 30 years” and was deemed inefficient by experts after that timeline (Richardson, 2021). Secondly, Solar panels come in different shapes and sizes with a maximum range of several inches (The Economic Times, 2019), this shows that solar panels can be shaped into different shapes a

Design Summary of Solar Panels - Draft 1

  The Economic Times released an article “What are solar light panels and how do they work” (2019) explained to the public the purpose, application, and features of solar light panels. The solar light panels consist of a photovoltaic module (PV) that is assembled with multiple solar cells, which are made of crystalline silicon. It is widely used for “residential and commercial lighting purposes (The Economic Times, 2019)”. Solar Energy is harvested when the panel is exposed to direct sunlight and energy will be absorbed by the PV cells and forms electrical charges which travel along the internal electrical field inside the cell, creating electricity. The electric current that was created will flow towards the inverter which converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) that was widely used in households and businesses (Solect, n.d.). Subsequently, the electric current will flow through another wire into the electrical panel known as the breaker box (Solect, n.d.). Its func
