Chapter 4

Types of Solar Energy Systems

Solar energy systems are primarily categorized into two types, each harnessing the sun’s power through different technological approaches:

Photovoltaic (PV) Systems

4 photovoltaic (pv) systems

Photovoltaic systems are the most common type of solar energy systems used in residential and commercial settings.

They consist of solar panels, or modules, made up of many solar cells containing semiconductor materials, typically silicon. When sunlight strikes these cells, it generates an electric field across the layers, causing electricity to flow.

PV systems are versatile and can be installed on rooftops, integrated into building facades, or mounted on the ground. They are scalable, ranging from small, rooftop systems generating a few kilowatts to large solar farms producing megawatts.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Systems

4 concentrated solar power (csp) systems

Concentrated Solar Power systems utilize mirrors or lenses to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam, significantly intensifying the solar energy.

This concentrated light is then used to heat up a fluid, typically molten salt, which retains heat efficiently. The heat from the fluid is used to produce steam that drives a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity.

CSP systems are primarily used in large-scale solar power plants and are particularly beneficial in desert areas where sunlight is abundant. Unlike PV systems, CSP systems can store the solar energy thermally, allowing for power generation even after sunset.

Each system type has distinct characteristics and applications, with PV systems being more adaptable for decentralized setups like residential installations, and CSP systems more suited for centralized, utility-scale projects that contribute significantly to the power grid.

Chapter 5

How Solar Energy System Works?

A solar energy system harnesses the sun’s energy and converts it into electricity that can be used in homes, businesses, and industries.

The process begins when sunlight falls on solar panels installed typically on rooftops or ground-based mounts. Each panel contains numerous photovoltaic (PV) cells made from semiconductor materials like silicon. These cells are designed to capture solar radiation (photons).

As the photons are absorbed by the photovoltaic cells, their energy causes electrons in the semiconductor material to become loose. These free electrons move through the material, creating a flow of electrical current. This is known as the photovoltaic effect. The current generated at this stage is direct current (DC).

The DC electricity produced by the solar panels is not directly usable by most home appliances or the electrical grid, which operate on alternating current (AC). Therefore, the DC electricity is directed from the panels to an inverter. This device converts the DC into AC, making it usable for household needs and compatible with the grid.

If the system includes battery storage, the AC can be converted back to DC to charge the batteries. This stored electricity can be used during times when the panels are not producing electricity, such as at night or during overcast days. In systems without batteries, the electricity goes directly to the power distribution panel.

From the inverter, the AC electricity flows to the building’s electrical panel, where it is distributed to different electrical circuits for use in lighting, appliances, and other devices.

In grid-connected systems, any excess electricity generated that is not immediately used can be sent back to the power grid. A utility meter monitors the amount of electricity sent to the grid and the electricity drawn from it. Many utilities offer net metering, which credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid.

Chapter 6

For larger projects with a capacity of over 55KW, if on-site technical support is required, the cost of airfare, lodging, and meals must be covered by the distributor.

Our technical support services include system design, installation, commissioning, repair, and maintenance. We aim to provide prompt and effective technical support to ensure the smooth operation of your equipment and systems.

To optimize our technical support services, we continuously update our knowledge and skills, and we invest in the latest tools and technologies to enhance our capabilities. In addition, we strive to maintain open communication channels with our clients to ensure that their needs and concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.
