    WEEK-03 Assignment

    Due date for this assignment: 2017-08-16, 23:59 IST.


    The output of a PV cell is 2 W at an insolation of 1 kW/m2 . The area of a cell is 150 150 mm2 . If the efficiency of a cell is
    15 %, then the angle of incidence of radiation made with normal to the solar cell is

    42.28 deg

    36.34 deg

    47.72 deg

    53.65 deg
    The sensitivity of the solar cell to the spectral irradiance of sun light is maximum at

    wavelengths between 400nm and 700nm

    wavelengths between 700nm and 2000nm

    wavelengths between 2000nm and 5000nm

    wavelengths less than 400nm

    The value of solar constant is approximately

    1.37 kWh/m2

    1 kWh/m2

    1 kW/m2

    1.37 kW/m2

    At a given point on earth located on the 30 deg. latitude line, if the solar declination is -20 deg and the hour angle is 45 deg,
    then the zenith angle is

    44.85 deg

    23.85 deg

    45.5 deg

    66.15 deg

    On what day the sun will be overhead (noon) at a place located on the 8.57 deg latitude line?

    April 12

    May 12

    On which day zenith angle will be equal to latitude?


    September 21

    March 21

    Both (a) and (b)

    June 21

    The extra terrestrial insolation (in kW/m2) on March 27, 1989 is

    1.3447

    1.3837

    1.3341

    At sunset and sunrise, the zenith angle is

    180 deg

    45 deg

    90 deg

    0 deg

    90 deg

    45 deg

    -45 deg

    115 deg

    The length of the day will be approximately 12 hours

    on equator

    when the angle of declination is 0 deg

    when the angle of declination is +/- 23.5 deg

    both (a) and (b)
