Solar power generation system: an insight

Image
  In recent times, solar power has emerged as one of the fastest growing and most promising renewable energy sources for power generation. As electricity has become on the most basic needs, the demand for it has increased.   Increasing dependency on fossil fuels is leading to its gradual depletion. Apart from that, burning of fossil fuels causes emission of harmful compounds in the air. These reasons necessitate using new energy sources which are renewable and clean. This is where solar energy comes to use.   Electricity generated through solar energy is clean and the cheapest method of generating electricity for residential and commercial use.   Solar power generation system                Solar power generation system comprises of four main components:   Solar panels Solar cell models or solar panels (comprising of PV cells) convert solar energy into electricity. They have to be mounted...

Lithium Batteries: Things to Know About

Image
With the changing technology, more efficient Lithium based batteries are replacing age old Lead-Acid batteries. Be it weight or efficiency, Lithium based batteries are better than the traditional options available. They are lightest options available and offered in different chemistries, such as: Lithium-Ion, Lithium-Iron Phosphate, Lithium Polymer, and a few more.   Lithium-Iron-Phosphate LiFePO4, i.e. Lithium Iron Phosphate, batteries are gaining immense popularity. They are safest types of Lithium batteries as they do not overheat and do not catch fire even after getting punctured. The cathode material in these batteries is not dangerous. Apart from that, they do not have any negative health hazard or environmental impact. The battery do not catches fire because the oxygen is bonded tightly to the molecule and hence provides a much safer solution than Lithium-ion batteries. The LiFePO4 batteries feature a stable chemistry and can even accept a charge from a lead-acid con...
