Solar power is a modern energy source that captures sunlight and converts it into electricity. It is the easiest and most sustainable way to generate electricity, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. As a review, I will explain how we obtain solar energy.

Let's discuss more about solar power, we will look at its concepts and benefits, which will give us a better idea.

Components:

Solar Panels:

Solar panels are made up of PV cells. PV stands for Photovoltaic. They capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. They convert it to DC. When sunlight hits them, it excites electrons, which creates an electric current.

Inverter:

We get DC electricity from solar panels not used in our homes. AC is used in our homes. The use of an inverter is that it converts DC into AC to deliver it to our homes. Or we can send it back to the grid after converting it into AC.

Battery Storage:

We can also store the solar energy generated throughout the day in a battery so that we can use it in cloudy weather or at night. For this, we can use a battery, which increases self-sufficiency and reduces our dependence on the electricity grid.

Grid Connection:

In solar power systems, we often use green meters. Green meters mean that when your solar panel is generating more electricity than you use, it delivers your excess electricity to the grid station through this green meter. You can also get electricity from these grid stations at night or on cloudy days, thus getting credits on your electricity bill.

Benefits of Solar Power:

• This is inexhaustible solar energy that is available everywhere and will continue to work as long as there is sunlight. Unlike fossil fuels, it does not run out.
• Through this we can generate our electricity at home and get rid of or reduce electricity bills. Because over time it can save you money especially if you use a green meter. When your home is generating excess electricity you sell electricity back to the grid.
• We don't have to do anything special for its maintenance. Once we install it, we have to keep the solar panel clean so that it doesn't block the path of the sun. We also have to make sure that there is no shade over it so that the sunlight doesn't get blocked.
• It has no harmful effects, it does not cause air pollution, it does not cause water pollution, and it does not have any greenhouse gas emissions. It is simply a clean alternative to coal, natural gas, or oil.
• Those who generate electricity at home are less dependent on local utility companies because they don't have to worry about power outages or fluctuations in their prices.

Solar Power Factors:

Located:

In solar power work, sunlight will affect how much electricity your solar panel is generating. Areas near the equator receive more sunlight throughout the year.

Initial Cost:

These days, the prices of solar panels have come down considerably, but the initial cost of our installation may be high. However, our government is still trying to make solar energy cheaper by eliminating taxes for us.

Roof Spaces:

To install solar panels in your home, there should be enough space on your roof where you can fit your solar panels and it should be facing in a direction where it can get maximum power from the sun.

Energy Usage:

Before installing it, we need to know the total electricity consumption of our home so that we can install the right size solar panel. To see if this system is meeting your needs or can cover a large portion of your total electricity needs.

I will add up the power ratings of all the electrical appliances in my house and then multiply them by their number so that I can estimate the total system in my house. Below is a list of the things I have in my house.

Load Calculation

Total Load Calculation

1000Watts = 1KW so, This was the calculation of the entire load of my house and I will install my solar panel based on this calculation so that it can handle my house well and bear its entire load.

For of all I calculate the total load of these electrical elements, which includes lamps and fans. So here is the calculation.

For the above load calculation, I bought a DC solar system that bears the load of these electricity components.

Material & Components For DC System

A = Ampere, Ah = Ampere-hours, V = Volt

Wiring & Accesories

To connect this system in a good and efficient way, we will need a few things. This will include DC wiring, connectors, switches, etc.

Functions:

Solar Panel: The main function of a solar panel is to capture energy from the sun and convert it into DC electricity.
Inverter: To run the motor pump, we will have to convert DC electricity to AC, so we will use this inverter for that.
Battery: The battery will be used so that the energy stored in it can be used when there is no sunlight or at night.
Charge Controller: The function of the charge controller is to prevent overcharging, improve the flow of electricity in the battery, and keep it under control.

Thank you so much for staying here. I would like to invite my friends @josepha, @rumaisha, @dove11, and @eveetim to join this challenge.
