Assume that the average solar insolation in Jamaica is 6500Wh/m² per day and its land area is 10,992 km². Consider that 3% of the land area could be covered by photovoltaic (PV) solar farms and 80% of the area of the solar farm is covered with PV modules with a conversion efficiency of 20%. In this case how much energy expressed in kWh/day could be produced using PV farms? Part B With the aid of diagrams, explain the similarities and differences between a fuel fired steam plant and a combined cycle gas plant. Label all major sections of your diagrams. With the aid of a simple sketch, explain how the following angles affect the location of the sun relative to the earth's sky. • Solar declination • Solar azimuth Altitude
