A Report On The Solar Farm

Solar energy is defined as the transformation of the sun’s rays into useful forms of energy, for instance, electricity and heat. The capacity of solar radiation a place receives depends on a variety of factors such as geographic location, time of day, season, and local weather. According to Knier (n.d.) photo voltaic and concentrating solar power cells are the two forms of sources to produce electricity. Photo voltaic cells generate electricity directly using solar cells and concentrated solar power cells generate electricity using steam. According to The World Bank - for the past three years, India has taken a enormous step in forwarding and in implementing the green growth agenda by producing 2,000 MW of solar power at the world’s cheap tariff. Solar power is likely to reduce India’s usage of imports of diesel and coal. A number of measurements are probably taking to generate 20,000 MW of solar power in future by 2022. The Solar industry is likely to create 200-400 jobs in the industries like research, development and installation, for every 10 MW of solar power generated. Hence, the government of India had taken enormous steps to increase the productivity of the solar energy. This research report will discuss the effectiveness and the limitations of solar power in India

The proposed system is a 20 kW solar array that will cost $82,000 and last an expected 40 years. Jordan Weisman, owner of Sunbridge Solar, stated in an email that the proposed solar array will require 800 to 1000 square feet of land for installation. The solar array will come with a 20 year warranty and require minimal maintenance. Within this report I will show that the benefits of this project will outweigh the cost. My recommendation is based on the conclusion that this project will pay for itself within five years of installation. I will evaluate the net cost of this project based on energy saving, tax credits received, available tax write offs, rebates, and payments on the loan proposed. I will also examine the environmental and public relation benefits of installing solar panels.

The Sun is one of the most significant sources of renewable energy. In one hour the Earth receives enough energy from the Sun to meet its needs for nearly a year. A Photovoltaic (PV)

The experiments analyzed found that solar panels using the concepts analyzed converted no more than 5% of absorbed energy into electricity. The tested organic cell film had 1.5-2% ef-ficiency, though organic cells are inefficient but cheap anyway. Carbon cells were estimated to have no more than 5% efficiency. Experimental data found cells sensitized with dye and TiO2 achieve 4-4.5% efficiency if constructed correctly. Each US square meter gets about 1-2 thou-sand kilowatt-hours sunlight per year, which means the maximum power from a solar panel is about 110 kilowatt-hours per square meter per year. Since

With benefits comes the drawbacks -the two major disadvantages to using solar power include the price of solar power and finding suitable sunny locations. While the “primary disadvantage of current solar technology is the up-front cost of the equipment. Because of the investment cost, solar power remains the most expensive way to produce electricity.” (Withgott & Brennan, 2011. p. 599) In the United States, it could take as many as 20 before a

Solar energy, like many other sources of power, cannot just be turned directly into something that is beneficial for humans to use. This is where photovoltaics come into play. Photovoltaic cells (what solar panels are made up of) are a very advanced method of turning this unlimited resource of the sun, into electricity that us humans can harness and use. These cells are usually set up into arrays where multiple cells are placed side by side to increase the energy capabilities of the unit. They are

Now we will talk about the experiences of some developed countries in the exploitation of solar energy as renewable energy and their planes for development in this filed and the areas in which these countries planning to use the solar energy. (www.ezinearticles.com )

It is reassuring to see that solar energy is getting accepted widely by more and more people everyday and is finding newer applications and uses with every passing day. Apart from the already popular and widespread domestic use of solar power, it is also being used extensively in various other fields such as agriculture, architecture, urban planning, solar lighting, solar thermal, solar chemical, solar vehicles, cooking and so on. Based on how solar power is being used, it can be broadly divided into two

This brief paper explains the rapid growth of solar energy. It introduces how the sunlight is transformed in to energy. It introduces how South Korea is developing the solar energy with some examples. There are two large solar power plants and two on-going city project to create Green city. It discuss about positive and negative sides of solar energy. Solar energy is renewable, abundant, available, environmentally friendly, silent, shared, less electricity cost, low maintenance, and supported. On the other hand, solar energy is expensive, intermittent. Also, there is process relating with pollution Finally, it introduce how to install solar panels in houses in South Korea.

In today’s time, solar energy has already dominated the market and has drastically changed the way our nation gets its energy supply. In every 50 to 100 square miles of American land, the effects of use of solar energy have become pretty prevalent that even small scale businesses, residences and properties have already showed interest in this new energy trend. It is now considered as one of the world’s cleanest forms of energy and plans to further utilize the use of this form of energy have started to emerge. These plans will target to resolve specific national issues including climate change, water waste disposal, high energy cost and etc. And just like any other forms of energy sources currently available in the market, the use of solar energy has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Figure 1. This floating solar farm was built in Japan’s YCamakura Dam reservoir near Tokyo. It can generate 15MW of electricity, enough to power 4,700 households.

Interest in solar energy has been growing in recent years. Solar energy is abundant, clean and renewable. There are two main methods to tap solar energy, i.e. with PV cells and with solar collectors. The former converts sun light directly to electricity while the latter collects the solar thermal energy (heat) to be used for various applications. Solar collectors have been in existent for many decades. Their usages are experiencing resurgence in the recent years due to the interest in renewable energy sources. Strongly increased number of solar heating plants have been built and are under construction throughout the world. The solar collectors used in the solar heating plants are flat plate solar collectors and often the volume flow rate through the collector field is varying. The integration of solar thermal systems into buildings to meet energy requirements of buildings (for domestic hot water, space heating, air-conditioning and lighting) is supported by many researchers in different parts of world. Many types of solar collectors are commercially available; they differ in design and performance and, of course, in price. They have to meet different demands in operation, configuration and meteorological conditions.

The planned solar panel distribution and installation centers are expected to have high cost implication in the initial years of the launch. The cost of purchasing stock of solar panels has been seen as prohibitive in embracing solar technology in the world (Bazán-Perkins & Fernández-Zaya, 2008). The budget on costs of purchasing the stock off solar panels and advertising the products and other underlying cost of running the distribution center are given below. The amounts shown are in millions of US Dollar

In the present era where energy demands growing rapidly the solar module is one of the solutions and a good one. “More energy from the sunlight strikes the Earth in one hour (4.3 × 1020 J) than all the energy consumed on the planet in a year (4.1 × 1020 J)” therefore solar energy has a bright future ahead. The first solar cell was invented in 1953 and had efficacy rate of 4 present while toady’s solar cell is 40 present efficient. SolarCity is using the one of the efficient solar panels which yields 30 to 40 percent more energy than similar size solar module available in the market.

One of the cleanest and basic energy sources is the solar power by which people can come out with many of their problems. Solar energy power, which is the energy taken from the sun, have a big usage in today’s world. People in all the countries use this energy source for different cases. It can be used for producing electricity, heating, cooking, charging, and much more usages. For example, people in the cities and rural areas of Afghanistan use the solar energy for electricity purposes, and in countries like japan and U.S it has a vast usage in industrial factories. This energy is the power that can be converted in to electrical energy and is the most abundant renewable source available. We can invert this power by modern technologies for different uses like, generating energy, providing light, heating water, and many manufacturing uses. Furthermore, the companies that provide solar shingles can make available many job opportunities. Solar energy technology is a common type of renewable sources that everyone in Afghanistan knows that and
