The Physics of Sustainable Electricity Generation

Photos of Solar Array Demonstration

Here are some photos of the demonstration in action.
 

Here is a photo of the complete demonstration apparatus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Here is a photo of the solar panel demonstration apparatus. It includes the Variac, the lightbulb and base, the solar panel, the capacitor and leads, and the model houses with LEDs.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 




Here, the capacitor is being charged with the energy being generated by the solar panel from the incident light.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Here the photo shows the green LEDs glowing as the stored energy is discharged from the capacitor.
