Solar energy harnessing through the use of solar panels installed in small homes presents better alternative to the hydroelectric provided through the national grid. While the use of solar panels may provide several advantages over the use of hydroelectricity, its usage presents several pitfalls to the user. It is imperative to investigate and outline the possible costs and advantages associated with the use of solar panels as a source of harnessing solar energy before installation is started. In most cases, the decisions concerning the installation of solar panels as the primary source of electricity are normally based on the ...

The term organic semiconductor is used for denoting the class of materials that are based on carbon, which takes part in semiconducting characteristics. And therefore, many of the attractive optoelectronic features exhibited in organic semiconductors emerge from the properties of carbon atoms. Organic semiconductor materials fall into two broad categories, i.e., low-molecular weight organic materials and polymers (Ishii et al. 2009). The individual energy properties are different as can be seen below. The bonding nature manifested in organic semiconductors is fundamentally dissimilar from those seen in their inorganic counterparts. The solid molecular crystals of organic semiconductors are bonded with ...
