The solar energy can be described as the energy that is received directly
of the sunlight and converted by a mechanical source for home use.Make your solar panels is
cheaper, safe,practical and easily to use for many applications since the
sun be readily available. On the other hand, the solar panels are
mechanical building materials whose main purpose is to convert solar energy in
electric power. They are made of an inorganic element present in nature called
silicon. It is the main mission of the element silicon to convert the
solar energy to electricity.
The solar energy can be directly or indirectly related to the sunlight.When
it’s cloudy the intensity of the sunlight also is delivered perfectly,and the solar panels transform light radiation of the sun in electricity.
This type of clean energy is used in chargers of iPod, charge batteries of water
heaters, chargers of cell phone, watches and aerospace engineering
instruments.
Mainly there are two
types of facilities:
Remote areas of the grid
These facilities are used especially in those locations where not have access to the network and is more economical make and installing your solar panels that build a line between the electric network and the point of consumption.The electricity generated is easily intended for your consumption.The main applications of isolated systems are:
These facilities are used especially in those locations where not have access to the network and is more economical make and installing your solar panels that build a line between the electric network and the point of consumption.The electricity generated is easily intended for your consumption.The main applications of isolated systems are:
- Electrification of
homes and buildings, mainly for lighting and low-power appliances
- Street lighting
- Applications farming
and cattle
- Pumping and water
treatment
- Antennas isolated
telephony network
- Signalling and
communication
Installations connected to the grid
The electricity
generated by a solar panels can be
poured to the grid as if it were a central power production. Electricity
consumption is independent of the energy generated by solar panels, you still
buying the electricity consumed to the price established distribution company
and also owns a electricity generating installation.
Advantages of build your own solar panels
- Whitout any kind of combustion pollutants at the point of use, that produce effects such as acid rain, greenhouse
CO2, etc.
- The Silicon base element for the production of photovoltaic cells is
abundant, not necessary to intensively exploit deposits.
- As an energy primarily local, prevents tracks, cables, posts, does not
require make large power lines, and your solar panels visual impact is reduced. Neither has about soil
requirements necessary excessively large (1kWp can take between 10 and 15 m2).
- Virtually energy occurs with total absence of noise.- In addition, it's easily to understand that not requires external supply (fuel) or presence of
other relevant resources (water, wind).
- Reduce your energy bills notoriously.
- If you need make solar panels by yourself,for your home is cheap and
relatively easy.
Disadvantages and barriers which may mitigate
-Impact on the manufacturing process of the plates: Extraction Silicon,
cell manufacturing
-Sources solar panels connected to grid: Need large areas visual impact
-Administrative and legislative: Lack of rules on network connection
-Social character: Lack of information.
