CASE STUDY ON SOLAR WATER HEATER

              Another big advantage of solar power is that the power source is free. While oil must be drilled, and coal and uranium must be mined, the source for solar power is simply sunlight. And unlike fossil fuels, the costs of solar energy never rise.

            Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
The International Energy Agency projected in 2014 that under its "high renewable" scenario, by 2050, solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power would contribute about 16 and 11 percent, respectively, of the worldwide electricity consumption, and solar would be the world's largest source of electricity. Most solar installations would be in China and India.

            All energy is ultimately derived for the sun and harvesting it directly through solar power seems to be the best way to transition to renewable energy.

              As the technology for solar cells gets better and better, this form of clean, renewable energy will find more applications that take up less space and produce more electricity, to meet the energy needs of our homes, schools and businesses.

            Another advantage of solar energy is its safety. An enormous amount of time, money, and energy is put into keeping fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants safe. An oil spill can devastate the surrounding environment. Coal mine accidents often cause death or injury. The security companies and police SWAT teams that protect nuclear power plants must be alert to guard against terrorism. By contrast, solar energy is safe from terrorist attacks. There is nothing in a solar plant that could devastate the environment. A breakdown in a solar energy plant might mean a broken mirror. A breakdown in a nuclear plant could mean a major disaster.

           Solar panels on roof can make big contribution to green building projects, by decreasing current bills there are plenty of examples that public installed solar plants on their terrace and became entrepreneur with partnership with sun.

07] POWER GENERATION                                    :- 1050 KW/MONTH
08] FOR HOUSE HOLD                                           :- 200 UNIT/MONTH
09] PURCHASING AUTHORITY   :-                        GESCOM
10] RATE PER UNIT                                                :- 9.25/UNIT
11] YEAR OF AGREEMENT                                  :-25 YEARS
12] NO OF SOLAR PLATES                                   :- 21 PLATES

                         GESCOM MADE AGREEMENT OF 25 YEARS TO BUY POWER FROM KIRAN @RATE OF 9.25/UNIT, SO IN 1050 UNITS KIRAN KUMAR USING 200 UNITS FOR HOUSE HOLD REMAINING 850 KW IS SUPPLIED TO GRID WITH AC AND DC CONTROLLER .

                        THE SUPPLIED UNITS ARE MEASURED BY NET METER.
EARNINGS = 850 X 9.25 = 8000/ MONTH
                     =  8000 X 12 = 96000/ANNUM
      
               SO AFTER 4 YEARS KIRAN KUMARS INVESTMENT WILL BE REFOUNDED BY EARNINGS.
