Solar cell is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. We obtain the highest output of energy during noon when the sun is just above our head, because :
aThe density of light radiation is maximum when Sun rays are falling vertically✓ Correct
bThe heat produced is highest in the noon
cThe sun is nearest to the earth at noon
dNone of the above
Explanation
At noon, the Sun’s rays fall vertically on the solar collector; therefore, the density of the incident light radiation received is maximum. Hence, solar energy production is maximum at noon.
