 Micro-Project Report

Information search on Solar System for Home

1.0 Rationale:

Solar energy is a renewable source of energy that is gaining ground because of the benefits it
offers. In India, sunlight is available in abundance and there is technology available to harness
this energy and convert it into electric power. Solar power panels serve the purpose of
absorbing solar energy and converting it to electric power through the photovoltaic (PV) effect.
Most homes have a roof or a backyard which can be utilized to install solar panels. Solar
energy is our earth's primary source of renewable energy. It is a form of energy radiated by the
sun, including light, radio waves, and X rays, although the term usually refers to the visible
light of the sun. As oil prices have gone up and other energy sources remain limited, nations
are increasingly searching for safe, reliable long-term sources of power. In this scenario solar
energy proves to be an abundant energy source which can be put to use. Electricity generation
from solar energy at present is no more a new concept to the world. Solar electricity is being
clean (pollution free), silent, limitless and free will play a great role in the times to come in the
present energy driven civilization. Solar energy is useful in many ways, some are as listed:

2.0 Aim /Benefits:

To learn about the Information search on solar system for home and its working.
Understanding concepts of solar system and know about various types of solar system software
available in present time. Improvise creativity skills and communication techniques. Improve
designing skills and team work attitudes.

3.0 Course Outcomes Achieved:

1. Identify your entrepreneurial traits.

2. Identify the business opportunities that suit you.
3. Use support system to zero down to your business idea.

4. Develop comprehensive business plan.

5. Prepare plans to manage enterprise effectively.
4.0 Literature Review:

 The adoption of solar energy systems for residential use has been steadily increasing
 as individuals seek sustainable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional energy
sources.

 Studies have shown that consumer awareness and knowledge about solar energy
significantly impact their information search behavior.

 The availability and accessibility of information sources play a crucial role in shaping
consumers' search behavior. Traditional sources such as brochures, websites of solar
companies, and government agencies have been widely utilized by consumers (Jones
& Simmons, 2017).

 The decision-making process for adopting solar systems involves multiple stages,
including problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, and
purchase decision (Blackwell et al., 2006).

 The credibility of information sources greatly influences consumers' trust and

confidence in the information obtained. Research by Wolske et al considerable
variance in the approximate cost.

5.0 Actual Methodology followed-

1.First research the information search on Solar System for Home.

2.book and different types of websites.
3.Collect the all things which is useful to the micro project.
4.The available information setup step by step.

1. Business plan for Solar Systems for Home –

The Information Search on Solar Systems for Home (ISSSH) business aims to
provide comprehensive and reliable information to consumers interested in
adopting solar energy solutions for their residential properties. By offering a user-
friendly platform, ISSSH will empower homeowners to make informed decisions
about solar system installations, thereby promoting sustainability and energy
independence

2. Choose a location for solar Systems for Home -

High solar irradiance levels due to its geographical location and arid climate. The
state is known for its clear skies and minimal cloud cover, making it one of the most
favorable regions in India for solar energy generation. With an average of over 300
sunny days annually, Rajasthan offers optimal conditions for maximizing the efficiency
and output of solar panels.

Economic Viability: The declining cost of solar panels and components, coupled with
favorable government policies and incentives, make solar installations economically
viable in Rajasthan. With electricity tariffs rising and frequent power shortages in
certain areas, homeowners in Jaipur and other parts of Rajasthan can benefit from
significant savings on their electricity bills by generating their own solar power.

Environmental Impact: Investing in solar systems for homes in Rajasthan not

only offers financial benefits but also contributes to environmental
sustainability.

Government Initiatives and Policies: India, including Rajasthan, has made significant
investments in promoting solar energy through various government initiatives and
policies

Technological Advancements and Expertise: Rajasthan has emerged as a hub

for solar energy development and research in India, with several solar parks and
projects already operational in the state.

5. Plan of production distribution –

Production and distribution of solar systems for homes in India require a strategic
plan tailored to the country's unique market dynamics, regulatory environment, and
consumer preferences. Here's a comprehensive plan:

Component Sourcing:

 Identify reliable suppliers for solar panels, inverters, mounting structures, batteries (if
applicable), and other necessary components.
  Prioritize suppliers with a track record of quality, reliability, and compliance with
Indian standards and regulations.
 Negotiate favorable terms for bulk purchases to ensure cost-effectiveness.

Manufacturing Facilities:

networks and skilled labor.
 Invest in modern equipment and technology to streamline production processes and
improve efficiency.
 Adhere to stringent quality control measures to ensure that manufactured solar
systems meet industry standards and specifications.

Localized Production:

 Consider setting up local assembly units or partnerships with local manufacturers to

reduce logistics costs and support the government's "Make in India" initiative.
 Customize solar system components to suit the specific needs and preferences of
Indian consumers, such as offering products optimized for different climate
conditions and grid configurations.
Distribution:

9.0 Skill Developed/Learning Outcome of this Micro-Project:

People skill -It almost goes without saying, but let’s just get it out there: if you can’t deal with
people, the restaurant business isn’t for you.

Leadership skill -A restaurant always has to be operating near peak efficiency. The key are
quick turnaround times - how long it takes from the moment a diner walks in the door till the
moment they leave.

Financial Knowledge and Skill-Even with a highly engaged workforce, a restaurant manager
needs to know their way around P&L statements and be able to create a viable business plan.

Creativity-Success requires adaptability - starting with understanding your target

demographics and how their tastes are changing.
10.0 Applications of this Micro-Project:

Educational Institutions:Incorporate the micro-project into curriculum modules related to

renewable energy, sustainability, and environmental science.

Community Workshops and Events:Organize community workshops or informational

sessions to educate homeowners and residents about the benefits, costs, and installation
process of solar systems for homes.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programs: Encourage aspiring entrepreneurs and

innovators to develop business plans, prototypes, or startup ventures focused on providing
solar systems for homes.

Technology Development and Research: Collaborate with researchers, engineers, and

technology developers to explore innovative approaches, materials, and designs for
improving the efficiency, reliability, and affordability of solar systems for homes.

Community Development Projects:Integrate the micro-project into community

development initiatives focused on enhancing energy access, resilience, and sustainability
in underserved or remote areas.

 Conclusion :

Solar power is an immense source of directly useable energy and ultimately creates other
energy resources: biomass, wind, hydropower and wave energy. The energy of light shifts electrons
in some semiconducting materials. ... This photovoltaic effect is capable of large-scale electricity
generation.
