PV cells convert solar energy in to electricity that is
used to charge batteries to provide lights during night.
Solar energy has excellent potential in Pakistan that receives
high levels of solar radiation throughout the year. Solar
Energy is available at a rate of 1000 watts per square meter
in Pakistan. This can be converted to DC electricity with
the help of Solar Photovoltaic cells, which may be used
to pump water, operate fans, TV and telecommunications directly
during daytime. The electrical energy generated during the
day time (5-8 hours of sunshine), can also be stored in
deep cycle lead acid batteries which can be used at night
to provide power for lighting, radio, Television and fans.
The system will be user-friendly and designed as a stand-alone
system for each household, who will be trained to operate
and maintain it. The user will only be required to switch
on/off the system, as is done in normal home lighting systems.
In addition, Solar Photovoltaic Panels can generate enough
electricity to pump water from depth of 350 ft, 700 ft and
up to 1000 ft. |
