Solar Energy

A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon, solar cells are described as being photovoltaic, irrespective of whether the source is sunlight or an artificial light, a large majority of solar cells are made from silicon, […]

The sun produces an unbelievable amount of energy that reaches the earth. The  amount of energy that is absorbed by the earth in one hour is more energy than mankind uses in one year. Solar Energy Systems The total amount of solar energy reaching the earth in one year is huge – twice as much

Solar energy technologies produce electricity from the energy of the sun. Small solar energy systems can provide electricity for homes, businesses, and remote power needs. Larger solar energy systems can produce more electricity and feed the electric power system. The block diagram of a solar energy system is shown in Figure 1. The ­system consists

Hi friends, in this article I am going to discuss about solar panel working principle and hope you will like my effort. In the solar photovoltaic system, solar energy is directly converted to electric power. This makes the system far more convenient and compact compared to thermal methods of solar energy conversion. The solar cell technology is

Hi friends, in this article, I am going to discuss types of concentrating solar collectors and hope you will find it useful. Solar power is a conversion of sunlight into electricity. The amount of solar energy reaching the earth’s surface is huge – almost 6000 times more than the power consumed by humans throughout the world.
