Compare the costs of generating electricity using solar energy in different parts of the united states. a. (5 points) let us consider a simple 25.m2 rooftop installation of crystalline-silicon (c-si) pv modules. now remember that pv modules are rated to receive 1kw/m2 of solar radiation. assuming peak solar irradiation of 1 kw/m22, what would the peak output of this system be (in kw) if the modules are 16% efficient? b. (10 points) compute the annualized cost for this type of pv module (in $/year), assuming for simplicity that operating costs can be ignored. assume a 6.0% discount rate and 25-year lifetime. initial cost unit value ($) module cost $/watt 2.20 permitting and inspection cost $/watt 0.25 installation labor cost $/watt 0.90 inverter cost $/watt 0.50 c. (10 points) now, consider how much electricity our pv system from part (a) will actually be able to generate in different cities based on variation in insolation levels. calculate the annual electricity generated by our pv system and the levelized cost of solar energy in san francisco, ca (2,500 kwh/m2-year); new york city, ny (1,600 kwh/m2-year); detroit, mi(1,500 kwh/m2-year); and flagstaff, az(3,200 kwh/m2-year). d. (5 points) calculate the simple payback period for your solar system in san francisco. assume that your household consumes 15,000kwh/year.

answer

c, on a nylon carpet in a dry area. give me brainliest

explanation:

answer: option c.

explanation:

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
