SOLAR POWER PLANT
[CODE NO.3266]  


Power supply in most of the cities and towns is unreliable, which has forced the people to use small generators. These generators are operated with fossil fuels like kerosene, petrol or diesel cause pollution. It also leads to increase dependence on oil imports.

Solar PV power plant consists of SPV modules in arrays (total wattage being 1 kW or more), re-chargeable battery bank, power conditioning unit (inverter & charge controller) etc. When sunlight falls on the SPV module, DC current is produced, which is stored in a battery bank. The inverter converts the DC current from the battery into AC current which, in turn, is used for operating various loads, such as, lights, fans or other electrical appliances in the building, subject to the total load (watts) being restricted to the capacity of the module (Wp).
