Solar Energy & Photovoltaic Modules

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Tower Ancient times perhaps the Egyptian using mirrors to brighter up their houses or tombs. At that time they needed a polished metal glass to illuminate the interior and a person that can move it with the movement of sun because in those times the human power is the main resource of energy but with the passage of time many mechanical mechanism has substituted the human power. Today electricity is the main source of energy and heliostat are move with the motors to track the sunlight. And then it converted into electricity. Heliostat is the backbone of concentrated solar power. The concentrated sunlight on the tower through heliostat produces high temperature to convert the water into steam which is then use conventionally to operate the turbine to generate the electricity. Initially these types of systems were built in 80’s in Europe, Japan and Russia later on in United States. Salts can store more heat energy because salts have higher m...

The Parabolic Trough Power Plants (PPTP) is developed Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) thermal plants that are using commercially. It has thousands of solar collector assemblies in a solar field. Each solar collector assembly tracks parabolic trough. Solar collector consists of four major sub systems. i.                       Parabolic Reflectors (Mirrors) ii.                      Receiving Tube iii.                     Metal support structure iv.                     Tracking system Parabolic Reflectors (Mirrors):  Parabolic shaped glass with coating on the backside of aluminum or silver. Shape of the g...
