A solar water heating system is a device that uses solar energy to heat water for domestic, commercial, and industrial needs. Heating of water is the most common application of solar energy in the world. A typical solar water heating system can save up to 1500 units of electricity every year, for every 100 litres per day of solar water heating capacity. Working: • The system is generally installed on the roof or open ground, with the collector facing the sun and connected to a continuous water supply. • Water flows through the tubes, absorbs solar heat and becomes hot. • The heated water is stored in a tank for further use. • The water stored in the tank remains hot overnight as the storage tank is insulated and heat losses are small. There are actually two types of Collectors. They are: Flat-plate collectors Flat plates are the simplest collectors: at their most basic, they're little more than water pipes running through shallow metal boxes coated with th...

Are you planning to install solar panels on your rooftop? Are you ready to go green? Then there are some important things that you should consider before installing solar panels. Take some time and go through the important points for a perfect installation of solar panel and its use in future. India is one of the few countries which is blessed with abundant solar energy. The country has a tremendous scope for the growth of the solar power. However, factors like lack of proper knowledge about the solar power technology amongst the consumers and penetration of second-grade products in the market. Roof Condition, Material, and Layout: One of the great things about solar panels is their durability. It can be challenging and costly to remove and reinstall panels to make way for roof work, so repair any damage—or replace the roof altogether, if needed—before installing your array. Along with your roof condition, consider its layout, materials, and direction. The amount o...

The larger aim of 100 GW power generation from solar PV under the national mission has entered on its crucial third and final phase. Authorities devise novel ways and methods of capacity added to the national grid, during the balance mission period. Broadly, the plan was to achieve the objectives through two classifications namely Roof Top Solar and Ground-mounted systems. The predictions are not favouring a success under rooftop number. Therefore, new models are foreseen to meet RE share on grid capacity.  Largely, three potential groups have emerged stronger. We will examine the projected contribution by these sources in the national energy mix. Floating Solar Photo Voltaics (FSPV): The foremost among the 'new generation' PV generator is Floating Solar PV. Hydro reservoirs are the targeted substitutes for land use. The floats, upon which Module mounting structure and PV modules are fixed, shall be materials combining various strengths: a. Buoyancy facto...

How Do On Grid Power Systems Work? 1. Photovoltaic solar panels mounted on your roof, or on a ground mounted frame, use the sun’s solar radiation to generate DC (Direct Current) electricity. 2. The electricity travels to a grid tie inverter , usually located near to the switchboard which converts the DC electricity into 230 volts AC (Alternating Current) as used in your home. 3. The energy generated can be used within the home or business first and any excess electricity is fed into the national grid. If there is little or no solar energy available because of bad weather or at night, energy is sourced from the national grid. A two way (Import/Export) meter is installed in place of your existing meter, to measure the energy you feed in and take from the national grid. How Do Off-Grid Power Systems Work? 1 . Solar generation solar PV panels mounted on your roof, or on a ground mounted frame, use the sun’s solar radiation to gene...
