INTRODUCTION:

1. Energy crisis
2. Need of Healthy energy source
3. Renewable Energy sources
4. Rural Electrification
Why Solar ?
Reduced Dependence on Fossil Fuels.
Environmental Advantages.
Matching Peak Time Output with Peak
Time Demand
Modularity and Scalability.
Flexible Locations
Government Incentives
SOLAR ENERGY POWER PLANTS:
There are two ways to use solar energy to generate
electricity
Photovoltaic:
The direct conversion of
sunlight to electricity
Thermal:
The use of heat to
generate electricity

Inverters
How PV works:
1. The simple idea: photons in, current and
voltage out

2. A closer look: photons above the

semiconductor’s band gap energy generate
hole/electron pairs…
3. Which then diffuse across the cell’s concentration gradients

4. Some holes and electrons recombine before they can reach the other
side of the junction. In good cells, however, there is very little
recombination.

5. Most holes and electrons make it to the other side, resulting in a net
charge increase on each side. This net charge increase is realized outside
the cell as current and voltage, or power.
 Solar cells are simply pn-junctions in which hole/electron pairs are created
from photons.

 The holes/electrons diffuse into the junction, and are immediately swept to
the other side.

 The net charge gain is seen outside the cell as current and voltage, or
power .
 Groups of solar cells can be packaged into
•Modules
•Panels
•Arrays
to provide useful output voltages and currents to
provide a specific power output.
