World energy consumption relative to the irradiance Whether could we cover our annual energy consumption by energy generated by the sunshine? Annual Irradiance originating from the Sun But: 100% irradiated sun energy: -3% back reflected from the atmosphere -23% photonenergy fells to the longwavelength range -32% photonenergy fells to the short wavelength range -8.5% recombination -20% electric potential drop (or loss) in a solar cell -0.5% other losses = 13% usable electric energy Uran Gas Oil Coil Annual Energy Consumption Green Waves 2nd Autumn University Budapest,, 21 November, 2013. 6
