Sunlight to Electricity

Today we have the technology available to produce electricity in our own home. Like we have our own bore-well for water supply, we can have solar power plant for electricity supply. This gives us the freedom and self-reliance to produce and use electricity as per our requirements. By tapping into sun’s natural energy to power appliances in our home, we will be doing our part in providing a cleaner planet for our family and our future generations. It’s time to switch on to solar.

Technology

When sunlight falls on the solar panel electricity is produced. Photovoltaics (PV) is the science behind this magic. Photovoltaics is a method of generating electrical power by converting solar radiation into direct current electricity.

A solar power system consists of,

• Solar Panels
• Module Mounting Structure
• Solar Battery for storing electricity
• Solar Charge Controller for regulating current
• Solar Inverter for converting Direct current to Alternating current
• Cables, Connectors, Protective Devices

The beauty and convenience of a battery based solar power system is that it modular and the production is done where the use is. There is no loss through transmission and cost of laying up expensive transmission lines in can be saved.

A battery based solar power system can be used where there is,

• No electricity
• Frequent power outage
• Almost 24 h electricity supply but you want to reduce your electricity bill and do your share in making your surrounding pollution free

You would want to use solar electricity because you will get,

• Uninterrupted power supply
• Good quality power
• Protection of appliances
