Solar Photovoltaic System- An Effective Renewable Energy Source to Meet Energy Demand of Modern India

The solar photovoltaic system is one of the best solution for the energy requirement of modern India. Energy demand in India both in urban and rural areas in continuously increasing, however the electricity utilities are unable to meet this rapidly increasing demand. In India most part receives 4 to 7 kwh of solar radiation per square meter per day this is the reason why most of the commercial buildings such as educational buildings, hospitals, offices, mall etc. as well as residential buildings in the country are opting for back-up power systems . These back-up power systems are usually diesel generators and sometimes more than one generator is installed to meet their electricity demand. With rising costs and environmental awareness, many of these buildings are moving for Solar Photovoltaic systems as back-up power in order to reduce their dependency on diesel generators. These Solar Photovoltaic systems which convert sunlight into electricity are usually installed on the existing roof-top space of buildings to meet the minimum load requirement. solar photovoltaic system could be an effective solution of sustainable development for India.
