Abstract
The electricity requirements of the world are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is now recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e. coal, petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources, presently being used for electricity generation may not be sufficient to keep pace with the demands. Another major disadvantage of fossil fuels is environmental degradation .The burning of fossil fuels in conversion to energy creates waste of H2O and CO2. CO2 being a greenhouse gas is major cause of global warming. All this facts promote us to use renewable energy resources (Solar energy, Wind energy etc.). Amongst all, the most sustainable renewable resource is solar energy which is free, clean and inexhaustible. Solar panels are responsible for converting solar energy into electricity. The advantages of employing the photovoltaic cells include no production of pollutants during operation, silent, long lifetime and low maintenance. The only concern is unawareness about solar energy among individuals and the number of resources needed to produce electricity. Solar Power Analyzer estimates the number of solar panels required to generate sufficient electricity for a given place based on the users location .We calculate number of solar panels required for the given area. For a given location using the data provided by NASA Surface Meteorology and Solar Energy Website we find the amount of electricity generated and also display it graphically.
Highlights
Energy is the fundamental of life and movement in the universe and it forms the foundation of all our activities and other things that life depends upon like, food, electricity or development
Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam which in turn can generate heat that can be used in a way with turbines to make electricity[1]
As the consumption of electricity is increasing in Industries and in households, people should move towards the solar power from the electromechanical generators which uses coal and other non-renewable resources so the negative impact on environment can be reduced for sustainable life existence
Summary
Energy is the fundamental of life and movement in the universe and it forms the foundation of all our activities and other things that life depends upon like, food, electricity or development. As the consumption of electricity is increasing in Industries and in households, people should move towards the solar power from the electromechanical generators which uses coal and other non-renewable resources so the negative impact on environment can be reduced for sustainable life existence. According to a report by the International Energy Agency, the rise in amount of electricity produced from renewable sources increased from just over 13% in 2012 to 22% the following year[2] This growth is more in the industrial sector than the residential sector which uses a significant amount of electricity every day. This is because people think the solar panels would take a lot of terrace space which they don’t have and can be much costly. The application interface is very user friendly and can be operated with a little effort giving customer the desired data instantly
