Topic: Solar Energy Technology and Incentives
This assignment is based on your general understanding of the types of solar technologies. Before embarking on the assignment make sure you have studied the material and you understand the basic principles of operation of these systems as covered during the lectures. Make sure you read the assignment carefully before you begin and you are clear of what is required. It is important to read the section at the end on what you should send with your completed assignment.
Your report must be typed in Arial font size of 11 (minimum) with a line space of 1.1 (minimum). Ensure that all the equations and units are clearly written and all the abbreviations/symbols used are clearly defined.
Assignment
Write an essay on solar energy technologies products that are available in the market related to different residential/commercial/industrial sectors. In your answer, give numerical examples on the capacity of such products and their sizes and the location such technology being used. Also consider future product ideas related to solar technology research as a part of your assignment. Your arguments must be supported by evidence based on data taken from reports and academic/research publications.
Note:
1. Your answer should be limited to a word count of 2000 words (excluding references).
2. You can make suitable assumptions, wherever necessary, but these assumptions should be fully justified in your report.
You are required to:
Part A. include a brief introduction
Part B. review the policies and compare
Part C. list the specific economic factors that support the uptake and those which do not.
Part D. critically analyse (don't just report)
Part E. conclude in your words based on your research (not your opinions)
Part F. Include at least 4 peer reviewed sources of information
Use a typical report structure to present your findings:
1. Introduction (problem statement and aim of study)
2. Methodology (overview and evaluation of research methods adopted for the study)
3. Literature review (covering data gathered for use in analyses)
4. Results
5. Discussion, presentation of argument, scrutiny of information gathered and evaluation
6. Conclusion
7. References
