assignment is based on solar energy and the title is “Solar Energy: and infinite resource meeting our infinite demand.” Firstly‚ solar energy is then introduced where it states that the energy radiated from sun is the solar energy which is essential for Earth. The aspects to be covered and the motivation for choosing solar energy are then explained. Pictures of solar cells are provided to have a better view of how solar power is generated. In addition‚ the importance of solar power is explained which

A solar inverter‚ or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection

1. INTRODUCTION A solar cell is a device that converts the energy of sunlight directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. Sometimes the term solar cell is reserved for devices intended specifically to capture energy from sunlight‚ while the term photovoltaic cell is used when the light source is unspecified.”Photovoltaics” the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells in producing electricity for practical use.

for a greener planet and renewable energy sources‚ solar energy is one of the most widely used and abundant in nature. The sun is readily available resource‚ and the energy from the sun can be captured and can be used for many applications. One of the applications is the use of this energy from the Sun for our energy needs. The solar energy from the Sun can be converted into Electrical energy. The device that does this work of converting Solar energy to Electrical energy is the PV cell. This PV

INTRODUCTION Situation Analysis This study mainly focuses on how can a solar panel generate enough elecricity to move a rollercoaster made of a toy vehicle. Solar panel is a large‚ flat piece of equipment that uses the sun’s light or heat to create electricity. It is called as a solar panel because most of the time‚ the most powerful source of that is available throughout the world which is the Sun. It is a collection of some solar cells summed up together. The more light that hits a specific cell
