Solar Panels



Solar power is one of the fastest growing sectors in India. The solar power implemented using the solar panels. The solar panels consist of sequence of photovoltaic cells. It converts the huge percentage of sunlight into electricity .The crystalline Silicon Technology has been used earlier, to convert the sun light to electricity .But there is some drawbacks like it is expensive and bulky .Then the technologies were improved with less bulky panels which is also cheaper to produce. The newly developed thin solar panel also works on the same photovoltaic manner. Amorphous silicon is a material used in the thin solar panels, which is moulded on the surfaces such as roof or walls. The process is in progress on research under solar panels to make more efficient technologies with the new photovoltaic conversion methods.

How Solar Works???



The Sun is the ultimate source of solar energy. The solar energy (Electricity) is generated by the solar panel by absorbing sunlight and heat. This Solar panel should be fixed on the roof. This solar energy is stored in the battery for night time use. Solar inverter is used to convert the Direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) which allows us to use for ordinary commercial appliances. When there is no sunlight, the solar energy which is already stored in the batteries are used. During the summer time, we will get surplus of solar energy that will be fed into the grid. Through some equipment we can monitor the energy level and also we can manage the energy consumption. We can use this AC to cook, to power your home, to charge your battery, Ventilation((fans), to heat water, lighting inside and outside of house, heat water in swimming pool...
