 INTRODUCTION TO SOLAR ENERGY
 Solar energy is radiant light and heat from
the sun that is harnessed using a range of
ever-evolving technologies such as solar
heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal
energy etc.
 It's technologies are broadly characterized
as either passive solar or active solar
depending on how they capture and
distribute solar energy or convert it into
solar power.
 ACTIVE AND PASSIVE SOLAR
TECHNIQUES
• Active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic systems,
concentrated solar power and solar water heating to harness the
energy.
• Passive solar techniques include orienting a building to the sun,
selecting materials with favourable thermal mass or techniques
light dispersing properties, and designing spaces that naturally
circulate air.
ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY
• Solar power is pollution free and causes no greenhouse
gases to be emitted after installation.
• Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels.
• Renewable clean power that is available everyday of the
year, even cloudy days produce some power.
• Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills.
• Virtually no maintenance as solar panels last over 30 years.
 DISADVANTAGES

• High initial costs for material and installation.

• Needs lots of space as efficiency is not 100% yet.
• No solar power at night so there is a need for large battery
bank.
• Devices that run on DC power directly are more
expensive.
 DOMESTIC APPLICATIONS
• Solar cooker
 is a device which uses the energy
of direct sunlight to heat, cook or
pasteurize drink and other food
materials.
• Solar water heater
 converts sunlight into heat
for water heating using a solar
thermal collector.
