Solar energy the most widely used renewable resource not only in the metropolitan cities or state capitals but also across rural areas the use of renewable energy has increased several-fold. The Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has launched several central financed scheme to promote the use of sustainable resources, especially solar energy. So that there is minimum dependency on fossil generated energy. Many solar products are in use around the world because they are very efficient and maintenance costs are very low.
SOLAR DEVICES
The solar home lighting system consists of a solar lamp which is 20-30 brighter than the rural used kerosene lamp. Solar lights are successful due to their efficiency and economic values. The solar home lighting system consists of Battery, backup, charging duration, and proper alignment of photovoltaic solar panels on the rooftop.
This renewable source of energy could be one of the simplest ways for the farmer to generate power. The solar irrigation system installed in the fields can significantly increase profits in remote areas with unequal access to electricity. The water pump which are in connection with solar panels via a generator, converts solar energy into electrical power. Traditional irrigation systems operate mainly with a diesel engine or with the local electricity network which is a major disadvantage.
SOLAR FAN
• Solar fan are environment friendly as run on solar energy. On a long-term basis, it would be cheaper it can cut air conditioning costs by 30-40%. A solar fan can function in the off-grid zones i.e., traveling to remote vacation areas with no power supply.
SOLAR WATER HEATER
Solar water heaters are of two types active solar water heater system and passive water heater system. An Active system in which domestic water through the collectors, which is then delivered to the place where necessary in the home, and a passive system which an in build passive storage system consisting of a storage tank, a solar collection unit, and pipes that pump cold water into the collector. a solar water heater can be according to our choice of size, lesser space required, highly efficient, and leave a lesser carbon footprint.
SOLAR STREET LIGHTS
Solar street lights are separate from the utility grid system, leading to lower operating costs. They are eco-friendly as they are run by the trapped solar energy by the solar panel. So eliminate the carbon footprint. The maintenance cost is much lower than the general street lights. And can solve the lightning problem in remote places.
SOLAR-POWERED FLASHLIGHT
• Most importantly in a Solar-powered flashlight, we don’t have to replace/ recharge the battery frequently in remote places where the availability of electricity is very irregular.
SOLAR BATTERY
Solar batteries can maximize the availability of electric energy generated by the photovoltaic solar panels placed under bright sunlight so that we can use the stored solar energy and increases energy security. reduces the electric bill and get a seamless power supply.
CONCLUSION
We are fortunate that with time solar technology is growing at a faster rate.
Everyday new solar products are coming in the market to make our life more comfortable to live in.
