Solar products are better alternatives for energy conservation

Solar products are better alternatives for energy conservation

Solar energy comprises of electromagnetic radiations that ranges from the infrared (long) to the ultraviolet (short) wavelengths. It can be harnessed using wide range of solar equipments that comprising of ever-evolving technologies.  

Some of the important solar products such as Solar power satellites, Solar Panels, Solar Street Lights, Solar Signal Lights, Solar Water Heater, Solar Cooker, Solar Calculators, Solar Dryers, Solar Water Pumps, and various other Solar Products are coming up as the better alternatives to use the natural energy of the sun and conserve non renewable energy.    

Let’s talk of solar panels that are latest breakthrough given by scientists and i.e. harassing solar energy in captivating Air, Sea, and Space. Today, Solar panels are the first choice for homes, water borne, and air-borne equipments.

If you are in India and interested to solarize your homes, offices, warehouses, storage structures then you must know certain facts:

 1)  Solar Panels have following components:
    • Solar Grid: It is a system of high tension cable by which electrical power is distributed throughout a region.
    • PV modules: They are power house of the Solar panel that converts sunlight top DC current.
    • Junction box: It is to interconnect solar modules. It also has an inbuilt reverse and over current protection.
    • Solar Inverter: It is the brain of the solar panel that covert the DC current to AC current for general use.
    • Solar Battery: It is mandatory part of solar panel to store the solar panel charged energy and can be utilized on cloudy or less sunny days.
    • Distribution box:  It distributes the electricity across various loads.
    • Solar Monitoring tools (Additional): To monitor the solar panel output.
2) You need to have roof or open space of about 100 to 120 square feet to place the panels on metal frames.
3) Centre and state government has not done enough to popularize solar systems. There is a need of installation of proper net meters.
4) Initial cost of solar panels is high but it can save your electricity bill that depends on your region.
5) It is interesting to know manufacturers say the panels are assembled in India, but the circuits are imported from China, Taiwan and also from Japan so it is costly in India.
6) Decrease your carbon footprint.
7) It can cater number of electrical appliances as per the type and solar panel you choose.
8) Not only the cost but variety of other factors that should influence your purchase decision rather than focusing solely on cost.

The other factors are as follows:

• The temperature co-efficient rating is important to determine what the impact heat has on a solar panel’s operation after installation. The lower the percentage per degree Celsius, the better.
• Another important aspect to look at is the embodied energy of the solar panel – that is how energy intensive the production of the panel was and how quickly it will have paid itself back by producing more energy... Read More
