Problem 6SL

A particular 1.5 m2 photovoltaic panel operating in direct sunlight produces electricity at 20% efficiency. The resulting electricity is used to operate an electric stove that can be used to heat water. A second system uses a 1.5 m2 curved mirror to concentrate the Sun’s energy directly onto a container of water. Estimate how long it takes each system to heat 1.0 kg of water from 25°C to 95°C. (See also Chapter 14.)
