New Age Tech Guru--- Solar Energy and its uses in Modern World


Part of a series in renewal energy technologies brought by                  M/s Paavi Solar

 

                Solar energy is the essence of Life. Solar radiation comprises of light and heat and is beneficial for mankind in more than one way. Traditionally men used solar energy for drying of clothes and drying/preservation of food/spice and as a disinfectant. But with the huge advancement in solar energy research, this field is throwing ample opportunities in the growing energy sector. Moreover, thermal storage technologies have grown exponentially and is aiding the use of solar energy during off solar hours.

Solar energy is an essential source of renewable energies apart from wind, tidal, biomass, biofuel, biogas, geothermal etc. Ever-expanding efficient technologies in Solar Photovoltaics, Solar heating, solar thermal energy uses, solar architecture (Used for heating/cooling and natural air circulation apart from natural lighting), solar power plants using thermal storage with PCMs (Phase Change Materials) and heat exchangers have provided mankind with tools for sustainable development.

Sun, our beloved Sun God in many religions, provides us with so much energy in one hour which man does not use in one year. Most of the sun’s energy (Approx. 71 %) is absorbed by the earth's surface and oceans and used by Plants and Animals for food production and development respectively. Essentially life on earth is directly connected with Sun and its energy.

                Solar energy is being used in many more fields than stated above. We will concentrate on Solar Photovoltaics for now and learn about different available and coming technologies which is making the world of solar photovoltaics very efficient, easy to use, interesting and very economical with very competitive pricing to fossil fuel generated electricity.

                Let us start a journey towards a better future.
