Renewable energy is attracting attention as one of the ways to curb the ongoing global warming.
Among them, solar power generation has already been introduced in Pakistan, and we often see it in our living areas.
How does solar power generate electricity, and why has it been introduced so far?In this article, we will explain in detail how solar power works, along with its advantages and disadvantages.
The solar power
Renewable energy is energy that can be produced domestically without emitting greenhouse gases.
As an important low-carbon domestic energy source that can contribute to energy security.
It is attracting attention not only in Pakistan but also around the world, and its introduction is already underway.
The world is affected by global warming due to the increase in greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide. increase.
The renewable energy that is attracting attention is solar power generation.
Which has been introduced in large quantities Solar manufacturer in Pakistan and is leading the world in terms of technology along with China and Germany.
How solar power generation works
Solar power generation is one of the renewable energies, and it is a power generation method that does not generate greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.
It is treated as a representative of renewable energy and boasts the largest amount of power generation in pakistan
According to data from the Ministry of Economy.
Trade and Industry, as of 2019, renewable energy accounted for 8.1% of Pakistan total power generation, with solar power accounting for 5.2% of this total. Wind power accounts for 0.6% and biomass power accounts for 2.1%, so if hydropower is excluded, this is more than half of renewable energy.
Solar power uses solar cells to generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.
There are several types of solar cells, among which silicon-based solar cells are most commonly used.
In addition, they are divided into compound systems, organic systems, and organic-inorganic hybrid systems
What is a solar power generation system?
A photovoltaic power generation system is made up of solar cells/arrays, connection boxes/collecting boards, and power conditioners . The basic unit of a solar cell, the “cell,” is protected by resin, tempered glass, and a metal frame to ensure strength. is increasing.
This is called a solar cell module (solar panel). In addition, multiple modules connected side by side are called an "array" and generate a large amount of power.
While the electricity used in homes is alternating current, the electricity obtained from solar cells is direct current. It goes from direct current to alternating current.
Applications of solar panels
Solar panels are used for the purpose of receiving some kind of profit by generating electricity, including driving (consumption) of electrical equipment by power generation and selling electricity for commercial purposes (production).
Solar Panel in Pakistan can be classified into three main types, and it is necessary to select solar panels with appropriate materials and structures according to the application and installation environment.
• Roof-integrated panel + storage battery : In households that have introduced all-electric homes, power is generated and stored at night in order to curb high electricity costs during the day.
• Solar cars, calculators, mobile batteries: Solar panels are installed on equipment to generate power to drive the equipment.
