Why is solar PV important?

Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a very modular technology that can be manufactured in large plants,
which creates economies of scale, but can also be deployed in very small quantities at a time.
This allows for a wide range of applications, from small residential roof-top systems up to utility-
scale power generation installations.

What is the role of solar PV in clean energy transitions?

Despite increases in investment costs due to rising commodity prices, utility-scale solar PV is
the least costly option for new electricity generation in a significant majority of countries
worldwide. Distributed solar PV, such as rooftop solar on buildings, is also set for faster growth
because of higher retail electricity prices and growing policy support.

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC
The most abundant fuel source in the realm of renewable energy is the sun. 
Solar panels produce electricity through individual photovoltaic cells connected in
series.  This form of energy collection is viable in regions of the world where the
sun is plentiful, and can be used in isolated regions or on houses to supplement
the rising cost of electricity from a power grid.  To convert the sun’s energy, the
cells capture photons to create freed electrons that flow across the cells to
produce usable current. The efficiency of the panel is determined by the
semiconductor material that the cells are made from as well as the process used
to construct the cells.  Solar panels come in three types: amorphous,
monocrystalline, and polycrystalline.  The more efficient the material the panel is
constructed from, the greater the cost.  To maximize results, there are many
features that can be used to control the output of the photovoltaic panels.  The
power needs determine what components are used to produce the desired
voltage and current for the project such as converters, solar trackers, and the
size of the panel.  Converters transform the variable output from solar panels to
constant voltages to maximize the continuous supply of usable power for either
present needs or stored for future use.  The output power of the panel is affected
by many variables that continually change throughout the day.  This produces
fluctuations in voltage and current that makes the panel inefficient unless the
outputs are constantly adjusted to maximize the power output.  The oscillating
conditions are determined by environmental factors, chemical composition of the
panel, and the angular position of the sun.  Since solar energy is only produced
during the day, requiring an energy storage application by either a battery or
connecting to the power grid to provide power during the night

Photovoltaic Cells

In the 18th century, Swiss physicists assembled a warm trap, which was a small-
scale greenhouse. He developed a hot box, by a glass box in another larger glass
box, a total of up to five boxes. When they are proposed to coordinate the sun
illumination, the temperature in the deepest box can be raised to 108 degrees
Celsius; warm enough to soak water and cook food. These crates can be
considered the world's first solar collection. In the late 1950, some organizations
and research facilities began to create a silicon based solar cell that considers the
goal of controlling Earth-orbiting satellites. These include RCA, Hoffman
Electronics, and in addition, the U.S. Army Alert Corps (Desideri, Zapparelli, &
Garroni, 2013). A solar cell, or photovoltaic cell, is an electrical device that
converts the energy of photons that are incident on it to electrical energy, which
is a natural and synthetic marvel. A separate cell unit can be connected to a frame
module, also known as a solar panel. Different solar cells in a unified set, all
arranged in the plane represents a solar photovoltaic board or module. PV modules
usually have a glass in front of the panel, allowing light to pass through, while ensuring that the
semiconductor plate is protected inside the case. Solar cells are usually associated, and arranged
in series or parallel module, depending upon the requirement of the customer. The parallel
interface unit gets higher current; however, the problem, for example, that shadow effects can
turn off weaker (less bright) parallel strings (different permutations of cells) can cause great
unpleasant effects and may cause damage because of their enlightened complicity and the
reversal of dark cell tendencies. A series of stacked units are usually autonomous and not
parallel, but starting from 2014, each module provides a singular power box on a regular basis
and connects in parallel.

Working Principle of Solar Panels

In the previous discussion it has been established that there is abundance of solar energy
available to be harvested. A brief discussion of what PV cells is also being covered. It is necessary
that we understand how these cells generate electricity so that we can design systems that can
be in tandem with these basic concepts. The following discussion will explain how the cells
generate electricity.

Principle: Sun is a powerhouse of energy and this energy moves around in the form of
electromagnetic radiations. These radiations are of several types such as light, radio waves, etc.
depending upon the wavelength of the radiations emitted. A very less percentage of sun’s
radiations reach the earth’s atmosphere in the form of visible light. Solar cells use this visible
light to make electrons. Different wavelength of light is used by different solar cells. Solar cells
are made up of semiconductor materials, such as silicon, which is used to produce electricity.
The electricity is conducted as a stream of tiny particles called electrons and the stream is called
electric current. Two main types of electric currents are; DC (direct current) in which the flow of
current is in the same direction while in AC (Alternating current) it may reverse the direction of
current. A typical solar cell has two layers of silicon, which is n-type at the top and p-type at the
bottom. When sunlight strikes the solar cell, the electrons are absorbed by silicon, they flow
between n and p-layers to produce electric current and the current leaves the cell through the
metal contact. The electricity generated is of AC type.

Types of PV Systems

With growing demand for PV systems, the utilities provided an option for the consumers to
connect their systems to the grid. This step introduced a new term called “Net Metering.” Net
metering allows the consumers to send back the electricity they generate from their PV systems
to the grid. This is possible because of the grid-tied connection enabled by the utility. Similarly,
we also have systems that are independent and do not require themselves to be connected to
the grid such systems are called off-grid systems or standalone systems. Both the systems have
been explained in detail below:

1. Standalone or Off-Grid Systems

The off-grid system term states the system not relating to the gird facility. Primarily, the
system which is not connected to the main electrical grid is term as off-grid PV system (Weis,
2013). Off-grid system also called standalone system or mini grid which can generate the
power and run the appliances by itself. Off-grid systems are suitable for the electrification of
small community. Off-grid electrification system is viable for the remote areas in the
countries where they do have little or no access to the electricity because of the distinct
living and spread population in the vast area. The off-grid system refers to the support that
 would be adequate for a living without depending on the grid or other system. Electrical
energy in the off-gird system produced through the Solar photovoltaic panels needs to be
stored or saved because requirement from the load can be different from the solar panel
output, battery bank is also used for the purpose generally

This project is considering the viability of having an off-grid PV system which can be used to
power a bus shelter. This concept can also be utilized on a larger scale to support all types of
homes which are in remote areas and where the cost of connecting cables and other
infrastructure of electricity to the house is expensive.

2.Integrated or Grid-Tied System

Grid connected photovoltaic power system is an electricity generating system which is
linked to the utility gird (energy.gov, n.d.). This photovoltaic system contains solar panel,
inverter and the equipment to provide connection to the grid. Grid connected systems are
 feasible for various setup such as residential. Commercial and larger scale grid tied system
different than the off grid solar power systems. Usually grid connected system does not
need battery backup, because when system generate the energy more than the load it will
automatically transfer to the linked utility gird

In the residential setups grid connected rooftop systems usually having the capability of 10
kilowatts which could be enough to meet the house requirements, and the excess would feed
the grid which can be used by other consumers connected to the grid. The feedback or excess
power transfer system works through a meter to track the transferred power. In some instances,
PV system wattage could be less than the normal consumption due to several different factors
and in this scenario, consumer will utilize the grid energy
Hybrid solar systems

generate power in the same way as a common grid-tie solar system but use special hybrid
inverters and batteries to store energy for later use. This ability to store energy enables most
hybrid systems to also operate as a backup power supply during a blackout, similar to a UPS
system.

For those new to solar see our how solar works article here.

Traditionally the term hybrid referred to two generation sources such as wind and solar, but in
the solar world, the term 'hybrid' refers to a system which uses a combination of solar and
batteries that can interact with the electricity grid.

Calculating Loads for Solar System

The following is a discussion on understanding and calculating off-grid loads. Loads in off-grid
applications should be converted to Amp-Hours/day at the nominal voltage of the system

Battery bank. Understanding your loads is extremely important because it’s the first step in
designing a reliable off-grid solar power system!
Load Calculation Guidelines
Now that we understand a little bit about the range and limitations of what “nominal battery
voltage” means, how does that relate to our loads?

If the load cannot operate within the voltage tolerance of the system, then power conditioning
equipment will be required. Typical power conditioning equipment would be a DC to AC
inverter for AC loads, or a DC to DC converter for DC loads. Power conditioning equipment
contains losses that need to be included in the load calculation. Typical efficiencies are 8595%
for inverters and 80-90% for converters.

Loads can be expressed in any of the formats listed below:

• current (amps[A])
• power (watts[W], kilowatts[kW])
• energy (amp hours[Ah], watthours[Wh], or kilowatthours[kWh]).

Notice, most utility bills are based on kWh, so this is a common unit for AC loads. Regardless of
how the load is expressed, it will need to be converted to Ah for system sizing calculations.
Recall from the power equations [Power(W) = Current(A)*Voltage(V)] we can convert from
Watts to Amps by dividing power by nominal voltage [Power(W)/Voltage(V) = Current(A)].

Some load calculations will be simpler than others depending on the type of load and
application. Ultimately, all answers will be expressed in the total amount of Amp-Hours
consumed over a full day (24-hour period), for a given nominal voltage (Ah at 12V vs Ah at 24V
are different things).
