Expert Solution
Step 1

As per our policy, only the first 3 sub-parts can be answered and we have answered that.

 

Given:

Output power=120 Watts

No. of cells=36

Insolation value, E=1100 W/m2

Efficiency=18%=0.18

Step 2

For a typical solar-cell, the output voltage is approximately 0.5 V.

a) Calculating the total output voltage:

The total output voltage is given by,

Voutput=0.5×No. of cells

Substituting the value of no. of cells=36,

Voutput=0.5×36

On multiplying,

Voutput=18 V

Therefore, the total output voltage is 18 V.

 

b) Calculating the total output current:

The total output current is given by,

Ioutput=PoutputVoutput

Substituting the values of Poutput=120 W, and Voutput=18 V,

Ioutput=12018

On dividing,

Ioutput=6.67 A

Therefore, the total output current is 6.67 A.
