What is the best method for tracking the sun position, is-it by solar position calculation along the day of the year or by other method?

In solar energy application, often we should know the sun position at each instant. With the sun position calculation, I think we can establish a database for this purpose. Then we can use-it for...

In multilayer PV solar cells, how can I choose the materials (gap and contact type) in order to increase efficiency ?

When the PV solar cell is used in a multi layer form, the goal is to benefit of a large interval of solar radiations. I think that the gap and the contact of different layers must have certain...

Why we use the term of "optical constants" of a material in spite of their variations ? is-it by misnomer ?

Optical constants as well as the gap, represent the signing of a material. They must be specific for this material. However, optical constants depend of the size of the crystallites which form the...

The IR radiations are harmful for the performances of photovoltaic solar cells; how is-it possible to eliminate these kind of radiations ?

Among the parameters which decrease the efficiency of the photovoltaic solar cells, we can note the solar IR radiations. This kind of radiation increases the temperature and then disturbs often...

Is it possible to obtain a natural colored image using electron microscopy or ecography ?

Until today, a good colored image is obtained using exclusively light. Electron microscope uses electrons and echograph uses ultrason. That gives only gray images.
