Introduction
1.1 Introduction Solar Energy
The sun is beaming light and heat. All wind, fossil fuel, hydro and biomass energy have their origins in sunlight, it is the first energy in the earth and using widely rang application technology such as solar heating ,solar photovoltaic’s, solar thermal electricity, solar architecture and artificial photosynthesis.[1] [2]

About half the incoming solar energy reaches the Earth’s surface
There are two important facets about the solar energy
1. the earth receives 174 petawatts (PW) (1 petawatt = 1015watt) of incoming solar beaming and insulation Approximately 30% at the upper atmosphere reflected back to the space, absorbed by cloud , ocean , and land masses
2. The sun emitted radiation widely spectrum, the spectrum received the earth 49% of the spectrum as the heat, 46% anther the radiation received the light but not all the visible. .[3]

4. Free energy comes from the sun
5. Can used in remote area
6. It can be used in many devices in life such as calculators and other low power.
2.2 disadvantage

Chooses from this method Chemical Bath Deposition ( CBD) is one method cheapest other method to deposition thin film and not needed expensive equipment , can uses batch processing deposition or continuous processing deposition because have many benefits or advantage such as
1. Needed only one solution in container.
2. Cheapest.
3. Yield stable.
4. Good reproducibility by relative same condition.
1.9. Recycling
Mostly, solar panels are manufactured from frames aluminum, iron and semiconductor.
Recycling possibilities depend on:
1. Silicon based modules: aluminum and plastic frames are broken up manually at the beginning of the process. The module is then crushed in a mill and the different fractions are separated in to its components. [13] More than 80% of the incoming weight is possible to recover.
2. Non-silicon based modules: they require particular recycling method such as the use of chemical baths deposition in order to separate the different semiconductor materials. [15] For cadmium telluride, the regeneration process begins by crushing the cell and subsequently separating the different parts. Up to 90% and 95% of the glass, the semiconductor materials respectively are contained recycling process is designed to recover. [16]

1.12. Objectives of this work
The main goal of this work is two fold:
1) Examine the recycled cell efficiency in light-to-electricity conversion (short circuit current density Jsc, open–circuit photo potential Voc).
2) Stabilize the recycled solar cell in a manner similar to methods used by other researchers.
1.13. Hypothesis
We assume the following:
Recycling CdS solar cells will be valuable, because:
1) The Cd2+ ions will not be allowed to contaminate water and environment.
2) The newly recycled CdS solar cells will have comparable efficiencies like freshly prepared CdS The process will have environmental and economic value in the future and will give new pathways to recycle other types of solar cells.
1.14. Novelty
1. To our knowledge, complete recycling of CdS based solar cells has not been reported. Therefore, this work will be conducted here for the first time.
2. Other types of solar cells, such as those of Si, need not be recycled since Si yields non-hazardous SiO2 after disposal, and do not need to be recycled. Solar cells with hazardous species, such as CdS, must be recycled. This reflects novelty and relevance of this proposed work.

NEED 1500 WORDS

The “audit failure” issue is one that we should all be concerned about, but in doing so, we need to separate reality from urban myth while we still have the time (Pat McDonnell)
The admission by Olympus Corp that it falsified financial reports for more than a decade should not shock anyone. The shock is that, for years, auditors failed to detect such massive fraud. The failures of auditors to uncover cooked books, which run the gamut from Adelphia to Waste
Management Inc, are a cancer on the accounting industry.
Modern financial history is chock full of such stories, in which managements at brand name companies hide losses, fabricate revenues, report imaginary profits and claim to have assets that turn out to be non-existent, all of which supposedly independent auditors either fail to detect or keep quiet.
“A gray area where the accounting is being perverted; where managers are cutting corners; and, where earnings reports reflect the desires of management rather than the underlying financial performance of the company.” (David Johnstone)
Tony Tinker, an accounting professor at Baruch College in New York who is a leader in the critical accounting movement which favours more robust and skeptical examinations, says “auditors aren’t trying too hard to find stuff. Remember in Waste Management the management and the auditors signed a ‘contract’ to fix the mess, each year, for five years.”
Tinker points to a second problem: the SEC and other white-collar law enforcement agencies “are so understaffed and underfunded” that there is little risk of official inquiry and even less of official action.
Professor PremSikka, a reformer at the University of Essex in Britain, notes surveys showing that “as many as 70 percent of auditors admit to falsified audit work” in surveys of countries around the world.
“We need to look at the internal value systems and culture of the accounting firms,” Sikka said.
There is the real problem — the structure and the rules of auditing.
