n this tutorial, we are going to discuss about using solar energy and how it’s converted into electricity for domestic use. We all know that major source of energy today is fossil fuel which is not renewable, and the other one is the hydro power which is not easy to generate.
Solar energy is very good alternative energy which can be used instead of electric supply from a grid. Solar energy is also known as clean energy because it does not create any kind of pollution
On domestic level solar energy can be used easily to lift water, to heat water, to cook food and above all to generate green electricity. The most common and regularly required energy for home is electric energy.
A photovoltaic cell is a medium which converts solar energy into electric energy which can be directly used to run our domestic appliances such as fans, lights, TV etc. through the inverter or can be stored into batteries for further use.
In the daytime, we can generate 60-70% electric energy required to run our domestic appliances using a solar power system. A home solar power system consists of a Solar photovoltaic panel, Inverter, Charge controller and Batteries. Nowadays most of the houses are already equipped with Inverter which is the half part of this system.
