Solar Power System

Solar Power System

Solar power is arguably the cleanest, most reliable form of renewable energy available, and it can be used in several forms to help power your home or business. Solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. This electricity can then be used to supply renewable energy to your home or business.

Solar Power Grid:
Solar panels harness the sun's power to generate electricity and provide clean power for homes, communities and businesses.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) modules generate electricity from sunlight, which can be fed into the mains electricity supply of a building or sold to the public electricity grid. Reducing the need for fossil fuel generation, the growing grid-connected solar PV sector across the globe is helping create jobs, enabling families and businesses to save money, and cut greenhouse emissions.

Types of Solar Power Grid:

  1. On-Grid System (Net Metering)
  2. Off-Grid System (With Backup)
  3. Hybrid System (Net Metering with Backup)

Solar Water Heating:
Solar Water Heating (SWH) is the conversion of sunlight into heat for water heating using a solar thermal collector. A variety of configurations are available at varying cost to provide solutions in different climates and latitudes. SWHs are widely used for residential and some industrial applications.

A sun-facing collector heats a working fluid that passes into a storage system for later use. They are heated directly or via light-concentrating mirrors. They operate independently or as hybrids with electric or gas heaters.[2] In large-scale installations, mirrors may concentrate sunlight onto a smaller collector.

What is Solar Water Heating?
Solar water heating collectors capture and retain heat from the sun and transfer this heat to a liquid. Solar thermal heat is trapped using the "greenhouse effect", in this case is the ability of a reflective surface to transmit short wave radiation and reflect long wave radiation. Heat and infrared radiation (IR) are produced when short wave radiation light hits a collector's absorber, which is then trapped inside the collector. Fluid, usually water, in contact with the absorber collects the trapped heat to transfer it to storage.

The basic components in home solar heating systems include:

  1. Collectors to take the heat from the sun and pass it to a fluid.
  2. The heat transfer fluid which takes the heat from the collector for use or storage.
  3. Heat exchangers to transfer the heat from the fluid to a home's domestic water.
  4. Pumps to move the fluid through the collector and/or the exchanger, and sometimes to move the domestic water through the other side of the exchanger.

Bosch Solar:
Bosch Solar a German Solar Water heater and Solar Panels manufacturer, based in Banglore in India, which specialized in Solar Water Heating Systems, as well as Solar Panels. The company consisted of the various divisions for Solar Water Heaters and modules, research and production facilities in Germany and France and plans were made to open a production line in India.
