The devices work by applying an AC or pulsed DC voltage to the bond pads. As currentpasses through the aluminum, resistance is present and subsequently thermal energy in the form ofheat propagates throughout the structure. Resistance is modeled in Equation 1 as a function of amaterial’s resistivity and the structure’s dimensions in the form of surface area and length

current electricity (DC) andusing an alternator converts it into alternative current (AC) that can be used to power equipmentinside a house. Photovoltaic cells have to combine cost effectiveness with relatively highthroughput energy yield production, in order to achieve this combination a couple of factors haveto be counted in: Material of construction, location that the PV cell will be placed and energyconversion efficiency. Even though there is a high initial cost to purchase and install Solar panels the financial Page 26.1484.2return of investment is worth it besides it provides added home value. Figure 1.
