Most of us are now aware of increasing use of solar
panels, however, it is high time to understand solar panels basic principles
and solar power to have a better idea on how to go about solar panels
installation at our homes, shops, schools, colleges, institutions and
commercial ventures / industries.

Solar power and solar panels are getting a lot of
attention from all sphere of world as part of the solution to our energy
crisis. Solar energy, also called photovoltaic energy, is undergoing quick
reforms in the field of solar innovative technology; thanks to massive
investment in research and development. This blog article will discuss the
basic principles of photovoltaics in hopefully easy-to-understand terms and
definitions.

Solar panel is made of several photovoltaic cells.
The solar cells are very thin, about 1/100th of an inch thick and usually 3 to
4 inches square. These solar cells convert sunlight in to energy by the
photovoltaic effect. These cells do not require fuel to burn and convert it in
to energy and normally have a standard lifetime of 20-30 years.  To understand working of Solar Energy we need
to know how electricity is generated from the sun light. Electricity generated
from solar is harvested from the sun. Energy generated from Solar can be used
directly to heat, and light our homes or it can be converted into electricity
using solar power technologies like solar panels, photo voltaic cells, charge
controllers and solar inverters etc. People are increasingly investing in solar
energy technology to get rid of their monthly heavy electrical bills and get
rid of dangerous and expensive power lines.

The electrical output from a single cell is small,
therefore individual solar cells are arranged together in a PV module and the
modules are grouped together to form an array. This power is then used to
charge cells or inverters and this electricity can be used to provide sufficient
power for common electrical appliances. When we get the solar energy from the
sun it gets trapped and stored and can be used in various ways to generate
power. Solar energy can be used as direct or indirect, active or passive.

Solar Panels & Modules Photovoltaic (PV) cells
are assembled together to create a solar module normally called Photovoltaic
Solar panels or modules. The module is what you are used to seeing as a solar
panel. It has anywhere from 2 to 200 cells assembled together, encased in
tempered glass and aluminum to make them weather resistant.

Let us discuss type of Solar Panels available in
India.  Most Common type of Solar Panels
which are used for installation of solar power plants in India is
Polycrystalline.  Conventionally there
are mainly two types of Solar Panels in broad category i.e.

·       These
are the traditional types of solar panels made of mono-crystalline silicon

·       or
poly-silicon and are most commonly used in conventional surroundings.

·       These
panels are made from three Types of Solar Cells. There are three basic types of
solar cell. Mono-crystalline cells are cut from a silicon ingot grown from a
single large crystal of silicon whilst poly-crystalline cells are cut from an
ingot made up of many smaller crystals. The third type is the amorphous or
thin-film solar cell. These are categorized as

·       Mono-crystalline
Solar Panels (Mono-SI)

·       Poly-crystalline
Solar Panels (Poly-SI)

·       Thin-Film
Solar Cells (TFSC)

·       Amorphous
Silicon Solar Cell (A-Si)

·       Bio
hybrid Solar Cell.

q)   Multiple
uses of solar energy

In order to convert solar energy to electricity, we
use photovoltaic solar panels.  When the
atoms of the semiconductor absorb solar energy, negatively charged electrons
can be separated from the rest of the atom. The electrons produce an electrical
current that can be collected and used for many applications. This method
converts the sun’s energy into electricity. Photovoltaic cells are most popular
form of converting solar energy into electricity. These cells are silicon based
pieces of materials that absorb the sun’s light. When the sunlight enters the
cells, it causes the electrons to move. These electrons move in a certain
direction which is known as current. This electricity is in the form of direct
current.

A watt is a measure of energy (think of a 10-watt
light bulb).Sizes and Shapes Modules can be made in a many sizes and shapes to
fit their application. Panels come in standard rectangular, triangular,
foldable, and even thin-film rolls. This means they can be used in a wide
variety of applications, from domestic segment to commercial and industrial
sector too. Now a days solar panels are also used for electric cars and space
stations. The Solar Array Modules are combined to create solar arrays. An array
is a group of modules assembled together and designed to meet a certain
electrical load conditions.

You've probably seen most solar arrays mounted on
the rooftops of homes, schools, colleges, institutes, shops, commercial
ventures and industries. These solar arrays are designed to generate a certain
amount of electricity over the course of a year. if we talk about efficiencies,  generally solar modules convert about 14-21%
of the energy that strikes them into electricity. This means that for every 100
units of energy that actually hit the panel, only 14 to 21 of them actually
generated as electricity to power up the load. This particularly is the biggest
area of research and development now, as scientists and environmentalists
recognize that significant advancements in solar efficiency will lead to cheaper
solar energy as well as end of solar energy crisis.

Alternate Current vs Direct Current

Solar modules, solar Panels or solar arrays generate
direct current normally known as DC.  If
we see in broad category, we would find that most of the appliances in our home
and machineries in industries are designed to run on Alternate Current often
known as AC.

Solar energy is derived and harvested from the
sunrays available throughout the day consistently for almost 300 days in a
year. Solar panels made of photovoltaic solar cells are used to harness the
sunlight to produce DC electricity. Solar panels are normally mounted on either
on the roof or ground and angled to face the sun at 28degree towards south to
gain maximum output.

Most of the countries all over the world are
diversifying into solar from the conventional energy.  This revolutionary step by the Governments
would reduce their dependence on conventional source of energy and making solar
energy as a main share of their energy supply. Solar energy power plants with
solar electric panels are used by large numbers by resident owners, home
owners, shopkeepers, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, colleges,
universities, industries and NGOs to reduce their monthly electrical bills that
will reduce the requirement of electricity from Power DISCOM utility companies
and also result in huge savings for next 25 years at least.

Wondering what solar power is capable of? You will
be amazed to know some of the solar energy facts.  Well, to put things into perspective, we
consume nearly 467 oxyjoules of energy through conventional sources like coal,
petroleum, gasoline along with green sources like wind and water. If you think
it through, if we could just harness 10% of the sun’s energy, we can replace
all the conventional sources and save on fossil fuels. So, it’s particularly
evident how advantageous solar energy is to the environment and our universe.

Many countries have adopted and embraced this fact,
and one of the largest examples is India. Such is the demand for this alternate
energy that the solar PV module / solar panel price in India has decreased a
lot over the years making it possible for people from any background to use it.

Sun being called Solar is the main source of energy
i.e. sun provides consistent and steady source of solar power throughout the
year continuously and coherently. As our non-renewable resources and fossil
fuels are definitely set to decrease and diminish in the years to come, it
becomes moreover important and impending for the world  to transit from fossil fuels towards
renewable sources of energy like solar, wind, hydropower, biomass and tidal.

The most important benefit and advantages of solar
energy is that it can be easily deployed by both residential and commercial
users as it does not require any huge set up like in case of wind or geothermal
energy. Solar energy is a boon to the society as well as Mother Nature since it
not only benefits the individual users, but also benefit environment as well.
Solar energy is one of the most widely used renewable sources of energy.

Why should you Go Green and Go Solar. All natural
resources in the world are captured by the rich companies which sell these
essential energy sources to us at a high rate. 
Sunlight, sunrays and solar energy is FREE and is not owned by anyone.
Solar is available FREELY to us in abundance. Hence Go Solar, Go Green.
