Introduction

Introduction

Solar Technology

In today’s climate of growing electricity demand and increasing environmental concern, alternative to the use of non-renewable and polluting fossil fuels have to be investigated. One such alternative is solar electricity. Solar power is nothing but the sunlight that shines on the earth’s surface. It has been estimated that one hour of solar power on the earth can meet the energy demand of the world for one year.

Objective:

  • To remove the darkness from every corner of Bangladesh.
  • To provide solar electricity at a very low cost.
  • One time installation cost & lifetime free electricity.
  • Clients will never face any kinds of load shedding by using our solar panels.
  • To be the only manufacturer of solar electricity in Bangladesh.
  • To produce environment friendly electricity.

Methodology:

  • For preparing this project plan we collected the necessary information’s from these following sources:
  • The passive Solar House (Real Goods Independent Living Books) by James Kachadorain.

Industry Background

A power plant is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. Today’s modern world totally depends on proper electricity supply. But our Government can not cope with the current consumer demands because of poor electricity supply. The daily requirements of the electricity are 5125 MW, where the Government can provide only 3500 MW. That’s why people are suffering from heavy load shading. The shortage of electricity accelerates this problem more.

Countries all over the world are moving forward. But we can’t keep pace with them because we are not so developed in industrial sector and the main cause of this is insufficient supply of electricity.

One such alternative is solar electricity. Solar power is nothing but the sunlight that shines on the earth’s surface. It has been estimated that one hour of solar power on the earth can meet the energy demand of the world for one year.

How a Solar power plant works

Solar photovoltaic power plant uses photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into direct current electricity using the photo electric effect. This type of plant does not use rotating machines for energy conversion.

Solar thermal power plants are another type of solar power plant. They use either parabolic troughs or heliostats to direct sunlight onto a pipe containing a heat transfer fluid, such as oil. The heated oil is then used to boil water into steam, which turns a turbine that drives an electrical generator. The central tower type of solar thermal power plant uses hundreds or thousands of mirrors, depending on size, to direct sunlight onto a receiver on top of a tower. Again, the heat is used to produce steam to turn turbines that drive electrical generators.

Conclusion

Solar energy is the energy received by the earth from the sun. This energy is from of solar radiation, which makes the production of electricity possible.

Solar energy is vital to support life on earth, it helps to grow of our foods, light our day. Influence weather patterns, provide heat and can be used to generate solar electricity. Solar electricity relies upon man made devices as solar panel, or solar cells in order to provide a source of clean and low cost renewable energy.

As solar energy technologies become more advanced, we are able to use the energy that receives from the sun to provide a greater, significant amount of our electricity. The demand of electricity is rising day by day. So in this situation we are thinking about solar energy in our country to use solar energy for electricity production.

It will contribute a lot towards the economy:

  • Solar system makes the urban and rural areas electrified at one time installation and life time free cost.
  • It opens the door various incomes.
  • It has great impact on the national economy of the country.
  • Using solar system people can become economically independent.
