Solar Energy
The source of all the energies in this world is the sun. All
the energies we utilize around us every day are directly or
indirectly derived from the sun. whenever there is a
transformation of energy from one form to another, there
is a loss and some by-products are created. These
by-products mostly consist of various forms of carbon
which are released in nature and create the source of
pollution. in india 870 grams of CO
2
is emitted per unit
of electricity generation. (Source: Greenpeace)
There are two ways of directly harnessing solar energy into
usable forms: a)
Solar-Thermal:
where we use the heat
coming from the sun to create power. b)
Solar-Photo Voltaic:
where we use a part of solar radiation to directly generate
electricity using semiconductor based Solar Modules.
The Solar-Photo Voltaic electricity generation is absolutely
free of CO
2
or any other greenhouse gas emission, resulting
in a cleaner environment.
Photo-Voltaic Modules: Energy Generation
The conversion of solar radiation to electricity is done by
the use of solar cells. The solar cells available for the
purpose are categorized into various types depending upon
the materials used and the construction process. Mainly
there are three types of solar panels: 1. Monocrystalline
2. Polycrystalline 3. Amorphous/Thin film.
The 100 KW Solar Power Plant at Attareekhat T.E.
The plant was designed, erected and commissioned by Vikram
Solar Pvt Ltd to provide uninterrupted power supply for the
estate’s domestic requirement.
The project was initiated in February 2014 and was
successfully commissioned on 7 May 2014.
“
Energy can neither be created nor
destroyed, it can only be transformed from one
form to another.
