THE FUTURE OF ENERGY :
1) TRIED AND TESTED TECHNOLOGY
2) QUALITY COMPONENTS
3) MODULAR AND SCALABLE APPLICATIO
1) TRIED AND TESTED TECHNOLOGY
Solar power has been tried and tested in a number of countries and has today reached a cumulative capacity of more than 175, 000 MW worldwide. This growth is based on several factors
-Scale in manufacturing has reduced cost of production
-Installation experience in variety of climates has given a rich database of plant performance
-Component manufacturers' expertise enables them to back up components with warranties
2) QUALITY COMPONENTS
Availability of quality and standard components has greatly increased the reliability of solar power. A typical on-site solar power plant has three major components / component groups
-Solar Modules – These are based on photovoltaic technology. They convert the sun's light (photons) to electricity (electrons).
-Inverters – The inverter converts DC power produced by the solar modules to AC power usable in general applications. It also controls the amount of power generated by the plant.
-Balance of system – These include structures, cabling and other electrical components required for setting up the solar power plant.
3) MODULAR AND SCALABLE APPLICATION
-Solar power plants are modular. They can be installed on single or multiple locations. Consumers have the flexibility to increase the capacity of their solar power plants as their consumption increases.
