4. Introduction
 Solar power plant is based on the conversion
of sunlight into electricity, either directly
using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated
solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems
use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a
large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaic
converts light into electric current using
the photoelectric effect. Concentrated solar power plants
first appeared in the 1980s

7. Solar Module
 Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy
for generating electricity or heating. A photovoltaic (in short PV) module is a
packaged, connected assembly of typically 6×10 solar cells.
 Solar Photovoltaic panels constitute the solar module of a photovoltaic system that
generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications.
Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and
typically ranges from 100 to 365 watts.
 The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated
output – an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient
230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that are exceeding 19%
efficiency.
 A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most
installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a
panel or an array of solar modules, a solar inverter, and sometimes
a battery and/or solar tracker and interconnection wiring

8. How a panel is created?
An individual PV cell typically produces 0.6 watts and are joined in an module to produce
the required power.

11. Working of A solar cell
o Photoelectric effect
 When a light of certain frequency falls on the surface of a metal
 Electrons will absorb the energy
 If incident light energy is greater than the work function(minimum energy
required to remove the loosely bound valence electrons)of the metal Then the
photo electrons will be emitted and
 The excess energy is converted to the kinetic energy of electron.

12.  When solar panels are placed in the sunlight , photons will strike
the surface and emits electrons.
 As a result electron hole pair is created in the solar cell.
 When external circuit is connected to the solar cell , electrons
flow in the circuit and the current is generated.

13. Controller
 Controller's main function is to make solar power system
is always in the vicinity of the maximum power generation
in order to obtain maximum efficiency.
 The charge control usually the PWM (pulse width
modulation) control, so that the whole system is always
running at maximum power point Pm near the area.
 Discharge control mainly refers to when the battery power
shortage, system failures, such as open or reversed when
the battery cut off switch.
 Currently both Hitachi developed a tracking control point
Pm, and can track the sun moving parameter of the
"sunflower" type of controller, the battery components will
be fixed about 50% efficiency.

14.  As technology and material reasons, a single cell generating capacity is very limited,
practical solar cells in a single cell by series and parallel to form a battery system, called
the battery components.
 Single cell is a silicon diode, according to the electronic characteristic of semiconductor
materials, when the sun light shines from the P Type and N Type conductivity of two
different types of homogenous composition of semiconductor materials when the PN
junction, under certain conditions, solar radiation absorbed by the semiconductor material
in the conduction band and valence band of nonequilibrium carrier generation is electron
and hole. Barrier at the PN junction with the existence of strong builtin area electrostatic
field, which can be formed in the light of the current density J, shortcircuit current Isc, open
circuit voltage Uoc.
 If the sides of the builtin electric field leads to the electrode and connected to the load, by
the PN junction theory, the connection circuit and the load form the loop, there is
"photocurrent“ flows through the solar modules to achieve the power of the load P output.
 Theoretical studies have shown that the peak power of solar modules Pk, by the local solar
radiation intensity and the end of the average electricity load (electricity demand) decisions.
Batteries

16. Inverter
 An electric battery is a device consisting of two or more electrochemical
cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy.
 Each cell has a positive terminal, or cathode, and a negative terminal, or anode.
The terminal marked positive is at a higher electrical potential energy than is the
terminal marked negative.
 The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons that when connected to
an external circuit will flow and deliver energy to an external device.
 When a battery is connected to an external circuit, electrolytes are able to move
as ions within, allowing the chemical reactions to be completed at the separate
terminals and so deliver energy to the external circuit.
 It is the movement of those ions within the battery which allows current to flow
out of the battery to perform work. Although the term battery technically means
a device with multiple cells, single cells are also popularly called batteries.

18. How to choose a solar panel
 Selecting the right technology : The selection of solar panel technology
generally depends on space available for installation and the overall cost of the
system.
 Selecting the right manufacturer for better warranty.
 Check operating specifications beyond STC ratings
 Negative Tolerance can lead to a lower system performance and reduced
capacity
 Solar Panel efficiency under different conditions and over time.

19. Working of solar power plant
1) Photovoltaic Electricity – This method uses photovoltaic cells that absorb
the direct sunlight just like the solar cells you see on some calculators.
2) Solar-Thermal Electricity – This also uses a solar collector: it has a mirrored
surface that reflects the sunlight onto a receiver that heats up a liquid. This
heated liquid is used to make steam that produces electricity.

20. Photovoltaic Electricity
 As light hits the solar panels, the solar radiation is converted into direct
current electricity (DC).
 The direct current flows from the panels and is converted into alternating
current (AC) used by local electric utilities.
 Finally, the electricity travels through transformers, and the voltage is
boosted for delivery onto the transmission lines so local electric utilities can
distribute the electricity to homes and businesses.

23. How to design a PV Off-grid system
 Collect some data viz. Latitude of the location, and solar irradiance (one for every
month).
 Calculation of total solar energy.
 Estimate the required electrical energy on a monthly/weekly basis (in kwh):
Required Energy= Equipment Wattage X Usage Time.
 Calculate the system size using the data from ‘worst month’ which can be as
follows:
a) The current requirement will decide the number of panels required.
b) The days of autonomy decides the storage capacity of the system i.e. the number of
batteries required.

24. The Types of Solar Electric Systems
1) The Stand Alone System
 Standalone, or off-grid, solar power systems consist of solar panels and a battery
bank.
 Used in rural areas and regions where there is no access to the utility grid.
 Very good at giving economical electricity.
2) Grid-Tie Solar System
 Very useful for homes that are already linked to the utility grid.
 Primary advantage is the cheap price of utility.
 The system needs to be wired with an inverter that creates ac electricity, which is
needed for linking to the utility grid.

27. Solar-Thermal Electricity
 Solar collectors capture and concentrate sunlight to heat a synthetic oil
called terminal, which then heats water to create steam.
 The steam is piped to an onsite turbine-generator to produce electricity,
which is then transmitted over power lines. On cloudy days, the plant has
a supplementary natural gas boiler.
 The plant can burn natural gas to heat the water, creating steam to
generate electricity.

30. Advantages
 Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source.
 Once a solar panel is installed, solar energy can be produced free of charge.
 Solar energy will last forever whereas it is estimated that the world’s oil reserves
will last for 30 to 40 years.
 Solar energy causes no pollution.
 Solar cells make absolutely no noise at all. On the other hand, the giant machines
utilized for pumping oil are extremely noisy and therefore very impractical.
 Very little maintenance is needed to keep solar cells running. There are no moving
parts in a solar cell which makes it impossible to really damage them.
 In the long term, there can be a high return on investment due to the amount of
free energy a solar panel can produce, it is estimated that the average household
will see 50% of their energy coming in from solar panels

31. Disadvantages
 Solar panels can be expensive to install resulting in a time-lag of many years for
savings on energy bills to match initial investments.
 Electricity generation depends entirely on a countries exposure to sunlight; this could
be limited by a countries climate.
 Solar power stations do not match the power output of similar sized conventional
power stations; they can also be very expensive to build.
 Solar power is used to charge batteries so that solar powered devices can be used at
night. The batteries can often be large and heavy, taking up space and needing to be
replaced from time to time- See more at:
