Hi I am Mike.

I just graduated in Engineering Physics at Queen's University and I am now doing a Master's at Queen's University on PV/T's under the supervisor of Dr. Harrison and Dr. Pearce.

Outline

Introduction (Literature Review) [May 2010]

• Photovoltaic Solar Thermal System (PVT)
  • What's been done up til now / what's avaliable
  • How they are built / issues
    • Different materials used
• Amorphous Silicon
  • What's been done
  • Currently known properties and tests
  • Semiconductor Physics

Methodology [May 2011]

• Test properties of amorphous silicon samples
  • Elispometer
  • Degradation Station
  • Reflectometer
  • Other Tests to be decided once further research into the subject is completed
• Theoretical predictions

Results [June 2011 -- will be ongoing using tests]

• Tests {see above}
• Compare experimental and theoretical
• Talk about different changes to samples and what happened

Discussion [September 2011]

• Effects of changing properties of samples
• Implications for the furture

Conclusion [September 2011]
