Conventional vs Green Energy sources

Conventional Sources:
 Limited
 Not environment friendly.
Renewable Sources:
 Renewable and available in nature
 Environmental friendly
 Low maintenance

So the world is switching towards renewable energy sources.

4 Objectives

 To implement Maximum Power Point tracking (MPPT) technique.

 Battery charge monitoring.
 To provide both AC & DC power for home appliances.
 To Shift the load to Backup supply if in case solar system fails.

10 Literature Review:
Solar Panels
 In 1839 Alexandre Edmond discovered the photovoltaic effect[1]
 Over 100 years later, in 1941, Russell Ohl invented the solar cell[2]
 First solar residence – In 1973, the University of Delaware was responsible for
constructing the first solar building, named “Solar One.” [3]
 conversion efficiency- From 8% to 14% .[4]
