What is Solar Energy?
Solar Energy is the energy harnessed from the sun.
Types of Solar Energy:
Solar Energy
Photovoltaic (sunlight to electricity)
Thermal (harnesses sun’s heat energy)
Why use Solar Energy?
Clean Energy - No pollution
Renewable Energy
Cheaper than Grid power
Earn on surplus electricity generated by your system by Net-Metering
Useful for places where there are frequent power cuts or no-grid utility
Applications of Solar Energy
Rooftop Solar systems
Solar Street Lights
Solar Water Heating Systems
Solar Power Plants
Solar Products - Lanterns, Fans, Torches
Rooftop Solar Systems
Components:
Solar PV PanelCharge ControllerBatteryInverter
The surplus electricity generated by PV panel is fed to the grid. Users get paid for the extra electricity by Net-metering system.
Types of Rooftop Solar Systems
Grid Tied
•No Batteries required•Low initial cost of investment•Faster ROI•Reduction in Electricity Bill•Incentives from Net Metering (earn on the excess energy generated)
Grid Tied Solar Systems do not use any kind of backup (batteries). So if there is a power cut (no electricity from grid), solar system will also not work.
Off Grid
•Initial investment is more than grid tied systems•Requires batteries for backup•System will work independent of the grid•Generally, used at places with no grid energy.•No Net Metering incentives as the system is not connected to the grid.
Hybrid
•Initial cost of investment is higher due to battery bank•Faster ROI•Reduction in Electricity Bill•Backup power during power cuts•Net Metering incentives (earn on the excess energy generated)
ON GRID SYSTEM
HYBRID GRID SYSTEM
Solar Water Heating Systems
These systems use solar heat energy to heat the water using a solar thermal collectors (Flat Plate Collector or Evacuated Tube Collector).
