INTRODUCTION OF SOLAR ENERGY AND WIND TECHNOLOGIES SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) Solar PV relates to generation of electricity using sunlight when sun rays hit devices called solar cell. When solar cells are connected together it is called solar module The main components for Solar PV systems are Solar module for capturing sunlight and converting into electricity, Solar charge controllers for controlling and managing electricity to and from the battery, Solar batteries for storing electricity generated by solar module for uses when there is no sun and Solar Inverters for converting dc electricity from the battery or solar module into ac electricity (the same as grid electricity) The are off-grid solar systems both stand –alone and hybrid (mainly in developing countries. There are also, On-grid systems (mainly in developed countries), where solar electricity is fed into public main grid. Lastly there are pico-solar products, this refers to solar lanterns and small lighting products (these are low budget packages) * INTRODUCTION OF SOLAR ENERGY AND WIND TECHNOLOGIES SOLAR THERMAL (WATER HEATING) Solar water heating is the science of heating the water using the sun. There are two types of solar water heating systems based on how they operate: One is Non-Pressurized and Pressurized Non-Pressurized is the system in which the water flows by gravity to solar water heater tank Pressurized is the one in which the water flowing to the solar water tank may use pressure pump * INTRODUCTION OF SOLAR ENERGY AND WIND TECHNOLOGIES SOLAR CONCENTRATED POWER (CSP) Concentrated Solar power is the concentration of sun ultra violet rays to very high temperature such that it can heat water or air. The heated water or air is then heated to vapour and subjected into very high pressure so that it can run ste
