Introduction
• Solar PV system convert solar radiation
(photons) into electricity. PV system use PV
cell, typically made of crystalline silicon. NO
moving parts, noise or emissions. A
photovoltaic (PV) system is an electrical
system consisting of and array of one or more
PV modules, conductors, electrical
component, and one or more load.
Techsun Solar Power
• Techsun Solar Power is a globally recognized leading solar energy
solutions provider, specializing in high efficiency PV module
comprehensive EPC solutions. We are working in Institutions,
Residential Colonies, Office Buildings using Electricity on Large
Scale, Schools, Colleges, Universities, Government Offices, Giant
Industries, Hotels, Restaurants, Cinema Halls, Terrace House Etc.
How Solar Power Works
• PV materials and devices
convert sunlight into
electrical energy. A single PV
device is known as a cell. An
individual PV cell is usually
small, typically producing
about 1 or 2 watts of power.
These cells are made of
different semiconductor
materials.
Photovoltaic Cells
Dye-sensitized
solar cell
How a Silicon-Based Solar Cell Works
• Light with energy greater than the band gap energy of Si is
absorbed
• Energy is given to an electron in the crystal lattice
• The energy excites the electron; it is free to move
• A positive “hole”
is left in the electron’s place
• This separation of electrons and
holes creates a voltage and a current
How a Dye-Sensitized Cell Works
• Light with high enough energy excites electrons in dye
molecules
• Excited electrons infused into semiconducting TiO2,
transported out of cell
• Positive “holes” left in dye molecules
• Separation of excited electrons and
“holes” creates a voltage
Dye-Sensitized and Silicon-based Solar Cells
Compared
• Dye-Sensitized • Traditional
– Relatively inexpensive – Expensive
– Need little TLC – Need TLC
– Short return on – Long return on
investment investment
Benefits
Powered by the Sun
Zero emissions
Little maintenance once installed
Can last a lifetime
• Renewable clean power that is available every
day of the year, even cloudy days produce
some power
Downsides
Expensive to install initially
Doesn’t work at night
Hard to store the energy (can use batteries)
Large scale production takes space
Isn't completely efficient, doesn't utilize all of
the sun's energy... yet
Conclusion
• Using a combination of Passive solar energy
and photovoltaic cells can lessen pollution.
• Concerns with use of Cadmium in PV cells is
exaggerated when compared to electricity
produced from coal
• More research is needed and being done
• Cost of Solar system will come down in price
when production increases
