SOLAR ELECTRICITY

-THE WAY TO GREEN EARTH

 SOLAR ENERGY

 Energy transmitted from the sun in the

form of electromagnetic radiation
 It originates due to thermonuclear fusions
occurring in the sun
How much energy is received?
 Harnessing Technologies

 Using photovoltaic(PV) cells for direct

conversion of sunlight to electricity

Indirect conversion of sunlight to electricity

using concentrated solar power(CSP)
 Photoelectric Effect
 Electrons emitted from a matter as a
consequence of their absorption of energy
from electromagnetic radiation of very
short wavelength
 How do PV cells work?
Sunlight strikes solar cells

Electrons knocked loose & moves towards

treated front

Electron imbalance created btw front & back

Connector joins 2 surfaces

Current of electricity occurs

Components of PV system

 Photovoltaic cell
 Module
 Array
 Charge controller
 Battery storage
 Inverter
 DC or AC loads
PV system
 Benefits of PV system
 Highly reliable and easy to maintain
 Virtually no environmental effect
 Strengthen our economy and reduce
trade deficit
 PV cells are modular and flexible in terms
of size and application
 Serves both form and function in a
building
 Solar Balloon
 Highest efficiency with the fewest material
 Light material & bowl like shape
 Allows sunlight to be concentrated without
the need for tracking
 Solar power price = natural gas price
 Efficiency of solar power

 Recent technologies have improved the

efficiency up to 80% from the older
technologies of only 40%
INVEST IN ENERGY SECURITY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY BY
BECOMING A PART OF THE CLEAN ENERGY
MOVEMENT
