Product Description

Generation of electricity utilising solar energy has many advantages over traditional electricity generation sources.
• The *9 petawatts of sunlight reaching the earth’s surface is plentiful - almost 6,**0 times more than the *5 terawatts of average power consumed by humans. Solar electric generation has the highest power density among renewable energies. Solar power is pollution free during use. Production end wastes and emissions are manageable using existing pollution controls.
• PV Facilities can operate with little maintenance or intervention after initial setup. Once the initial capital cost of building a solar power plant has been spent, operating costs are extremely low compared to existing power technologies.
• Solar electric generation is economically superior where grid connection or fuel transport is difficult, costly or impossible due to geographical and logistic constraints. Such as in the cases of satellites, island communities, remote locations and ocean vessels.
• Compared to fossil and nuclear energy sources, hitherto very little research-money has been invested in the development of solar cells, so there is much room for improvement. Experimental high efficiency solar cells already have efficiencies of close to *0% and efficiencies are rapidly rising while mass production costs are rapidly falling
