Solar Panels

overview of Solar Panel

Solar Panels covert sunlight into Electricity. The key element involved in photovoltaic energy is something referred to as solar radiation, which initiates force behind the system’s operation. There are three kinds of solar radiation. The first is Direct Radiation. The sun’s rays follow a direct path to the solar panels and there is diffuse radiation. This kind is of radiation is indirect because it is scattered by clouds and molecules in the atmosphere as it travels through them. The third and last type is reflected radiation. This refers to sunlight that has been reflected off of an obstacle such as water or snow before striking the solar panels.

Types Of Solar Panels :

01. Monocrystalline Solar Panels

Monocrystalline solar panels are the oldest type of solar panel and the most developed. These monocrystalline solar panels are made from about 40 of the monocrystalline solar cells. These solar cells are made from pure silicon.

02. Polycrystalline Solar Panels

Polycrystalline solar panels are a newer development, but they are rising quickly in popularity and efficiency. Just like monocrystalline solar panels, polycrystalline cells are made from silicon. But polycrystalline cells are made from fragments of the silicon crystal melted together.

03. Thin Solar Films

Thin-film solar panels are an extremely new development in the solar panel industry. The most distinguishing feature of thin-film panels is that they aren’t always made from silicon. They can be made from a variety of materials, including cadmium telluride (CdTe), amorphous silicon (a-Si), and Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS). These solar cells are created by placing the main material between thin sheets of conductive material with a layer of glass on top for protection.

overview of Solar Water Heaters

Solar water heaters are also called solar domestic hot water systems which is cost-Effective to generate hot water for your house. This is used to be installed on the Roofs. They can be used in any climate, and the fuel they use is Sun which is free.

Types Of Solar Water Heaters :

01. ETC Systems(Evacuated Tube Collector) Non-Pressurized, Inner GI Tank

02. FPC Systems (Flat Plate Collectors) Non-Pressurized, Inner GI Tank

overview of Solar Street Lights

Solar street light is powered by solar panels and turned on and off automatically by sensing the nightfall and the daylight. Solar (photovoltaic) cells generate direct current by using sunlight as a source of energy. The controller in solar lights works as a regulator. It charges the battery and also controls the reverse power flow.

Batteries store the solar energy during the day to power the lights at night. With the advancement of technology, there are different types of solar street lights available in the market.

Solar street lights are the perfect cost-effective solution not only for the urban population but also for the people living in rural areas that are deprived of electricity.

Solar street lights have components such as SPV Module, charge controller unit, battery, luminary, interconnecting cables and pole.

Types Of Solar Street Lights :

01.Solar CFL street light

02.Solar LED street light

03.Solar FLOOD street light

04.All-in-one street light

overview of Solar Pumps

Solar pumps run on electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) panels from the collected sunlight as opposed to grid electricity- or diesel-run water pumps. Generally, solar pumps consist of a solar panel array, solar charge controller, DC water pump, fuse box/breakers, electrical wiring, and a water storage tank. The operation of solar-powered pumps is more economical mainly due to the lower operation and maintenance costs and has less environmental impact than pumps powered by an internal combustion engine . Solar pumps are useful where grid electricity is unavailable or impractical, and alternative sources (in particular wind) do not provide sufficient energy.
