Suncore Photovoltaics

Suncore Photovoltaics is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Suncore Photovoltaics rather than just read about it. In short: Suncore Photovoltaic Technology Company Limited ("Suncore") is a solar energy company that specializes in concentrator photovoltaics (CPV), an emerging photovoltaic (PV) technology. The company manufactures, develops, and finances CPV systems for ground mounted applications.

Key takeaways

Suncore Photovoltaics belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Suncore Photovoltaics to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Suncore Photovoltaics from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Suncore Photovoltaic Technology Company Limited ("Suncore") is a solar energy company that specializes in concentrator photovoltaics (CPV), an emerging photovoltaic (PV) technology. The company manufactures, develops, and finances CPV systems for ground mounted applications. Its products include CPV solar power systems, receivers, trackers and turnkey service.

History Suncore Photovoltaics Technology Co, Ltd, was founded in 2010 as a joint-venture company by Chinese LED manufacturer San'an Optoelctronics Co, Ltd and U.S. semiconductor manufacturer EMCORE Corporation. In 2013, San’an became the sole owner of Suncore by purchasing stocks from Emcore. In 2013 Suncore acquired Zenith Solar, the creator of a combined heat and power (CHP) technology which allows for the production of both electricity and hot water in a single system.

Operations Suncore's manufacturing capacity is around 300 megawatts (MW) with its manufacturing facility of over 2,000,000 square feet (190,000 m2) in China. Suncore has a portfolio of 120 MW of CPV systems deployed worldwide, including the largest CPV power plant in Golmud, China.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Suncore Photovoltaics

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Suncore Photovoltaics claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Suncore Photovoltaics before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Suncore Photovoltaics ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Suncore Photovoltaics

In research: Suncore Photovoltaics appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Suncore Photovoltaics in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Suncore Photovoltaics is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010 establishments in New Mexico, American companies established in 2010, Energy companies established in 2010, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Suncore Photovoltaics outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
