3. You have been provided with a model of high-performance monocrystalline solar cells for building a solar farm to generate electricity. This model of solar cell has a size of 15.6cmx15.6cm, an open circuit voltage of Voc = 0.63 V, a short circuit current of 1,0 = 9.1 A, and a fill factor of 0.77. You have identified a site with a land area of 10 km? to construct the solar farm. The site has a solar radiation intensity of 1000 W/m² from 8am to 18pm, when the sun is out. Assume solar radiation is 0 from 18pm to 8am during the evening. (a). What is the maximum power output of this model of solar cell? [3 marks] (b). What is the efficiency of this solar cell in converting solar energy to electricity? [4 marks] (c). What is the peak power output of this solar farm, if the site is completely covered by this model of solar cells? [4 marks) (d). If you have funding to also build an energy storage system onsite to store the electricity generated during the day for consumption during the evening (no sunlight) so that the solar farm can output a constant electric power throughout the day, what is this constant electricity power output?
