 ACTIVITY # 1
1.1 Read about PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY and make a summery to use in our Project.

¿Do you know what photovoltaic energy is?

How do photovoltaic plants work?

Photovoltaic solar energy is obtained by converting sunlight into electricity using a technology based on
the photoelectric effect. It is a type of renewable, inexhaustible and non-polluting energy that can be
produced in installations ranging from small generators for self-consumption to large photovoltaic plants.
Discover how these huge solar fields work.

WHAT IS PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Photovoltaic solar energy is a clean, renewable source of energy that uses solar radiation to produce
electricity. It is based on the so-called photoelectric effect, by which certain materials are able to absorb
photons (light particles) and release electrons, generating an electric current.

A semiconductor device called photovoltaic cell is used for this purpose, which can be made of
monocrystalline, polycrystalline or amorphous silicon, or other thin-film semiconductor materials. The
cells made from monocrystalline silicon are obtained from a single crystal of pure silicon and achieve
maximum efficiency, between 18 % and 20 % on average. Those made from polycrystalline silicon are
made in blocks from several crystals, so they are cheaper and have an average efficiency of between 16 %
and 17.5 %. Finally, those made from amorphous silicon have a disordered crystalline network, which
leads to a lower performance (average efficiency between 8 % and 9 %) but also a lower price.

TYPES OF PHOTOVOLTAIC PLANTS

There are two types of photovoltaic plants: those that are connected to the grid and those that are
not. Within the former there are two sub-classes:
  Photovoltaic power plants: all the energy produced by the panels is fed into the electricity grid.

 Generator with self-consumption: part of the electricity generated is consumed by the producer
(in a dwelling, for example) and the rest is discharged onto the grid. In addition, the producer
takes from the grid the energy needed to meet their demands when the unit does not supply
enough.

These grid-connected installations have three basic elements:

 Photovoltaic panels: these are groups of photovoltaic cells mounted between layers of silicon that
capture solar radiation and transform the light (photons) into electrical energy (electrons).

 Inverters: they convert the direct electrical current produced by the panels into alternating
current, suitable for consumption.

 Transformers: the alternating current generated by the inverters is low voltage (380-800 V), so a
transformer is used to raise it to medium voltage (up to 36 kV).

Off-grid facilities operate in isolation and are often located in remote locations and on farms to meet
lighting demands, support telecommunications and run pumps in irrigation systems. These isolated plants
require two additional elements to function:

 Batteries: to store the energy produced by the panels that is not used when it is generated, the
stored energy can then be used when needed.

 Controllers: to protect the battery from overcharging and prevent inefficient use of the battery.

OPERATION OF A PHOTOVOLTAIC PLANT

ADVANTAGES OF PHOTOVOLTAICS ENERGY:

ADVANTAGES OF PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY.

 It is a 100 % renewable, inexhaustible and non-polluting type of energy that does not consume
fuels or generate waste, which is why it contributes to sustainable development.

 It is modular, so it can be used in installations ranging from huge photovoltaic plants on the
ground to small roof panels.

 It enables the installation of batteries for storing excess electricity that can be put to a later use.

 It is a system particularly suitable for rural or isolated areas where power lines are not available
or are difficult or expensive to install, or for geographical areas that receive many hours of
sunshine per year.

 It contributes to creating green jobs and boosting the local economy through cutting-edge
projects.
IBERDROLA, SPEARHEADING PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR POWER

In keeping with the our pledge to combat climate change, Iberdrola group is wagering on renewables to
drive the energy transition and the much-needed decarbonisation and electrification of the economy.
The group plans to invest €150bn until 2030, which would bring its renewable capacity to 95 GW by the
end of this decade.

Photovoltaic solar generation is a core focus for the company, for this reason, just in 2020, 874 MW of
new installed solar capacity was reached. Iberdrola owns greatest photovoltaic power plant in operation
in Europe —Núñez de Balboa, in the Spanish province of Badajoz, producing 500 MWp— and plans to
build an even larger plant: Francisco Pizarro, in the province of Cáceres, which is set to produce 590 MWp.

But the group's work to boost solar power has only just begun. Iberdrola plans to invest €4.2 billion
between 2020 and 2022 and €5.5 billion between 2023 and 2025, which will mean a growth of 6 GW and
8 GW respectively. At the close of the First Quarter 2021, the company had over 2 GW of photovoltaic
plants in operation and a pipeline of 33.9 GW, of which 9.9 GW were already under construction or
insured.
