In spite of all these environmental concerns,

Solar Photovoltaic is one of the cleanest form of energy


15/49

PVnomics

PV unit : Price per peak watt (Wp)

( Peak watt is the amount of power output a PV module produces at Standard Test

Conditions (STC) of a module operating temperature of 25C in full noontime

sunshine (irradiance) of 1,000 Watts per square meter)

A typical 1kWp System produces approximately

1600-2000 kWh energy in India and Australia

A typical 2000 watt peak (2KWp) solar energy system costing

$8000 (including installation) will correspond to a price of

$4/Wp


16/49

Payback Time

Energy Payback Time:

EPBT is the time necessary for a photovoltaic panel to

generate the energy equivalent to that used to produce it.

A ratio of total energy used to manufacture a PV module to

average daily energy of a PV system.

At present the Energy payback time for PV systems is in

the range

8 to 11 years, compared with typical system lifetimes of

around 30 years. About 60% of the embodied energy is dueto the silicon wafers.


17/49

Solar electricity prices are today, around 30 cents/kWh, but still 2-5 times

average Residential electricity tariffs


18/49

PVnomics .

Module costs typically represents only 40-60% of

total PV system cost and the rest is accounted by

inverter, PV array support, electrical cabling and

installation

Most PV solar technologies rely on semiconductor-

grade crystalline-silicon wafers, which are expensive

to produce compared with other energy sources

The high initial cost of the equipment they require

discourages their large-scale commercialization


19/49

The basic commercialization problem PV

technology has faced for 20 years : markets will

explode when module costs decline, but module costs

can't decline much, until the market grows muchlarger

-PV Insider's Report


20/49

The Other Side

Use newer and cheaper materials like amorphous silicon ,CuInSe2 , CdTe.

Thin-film solar cells use less than 1% of the raw material(silicon) compared to wafer based solar cells, leading to asignificant price drop per kWh.

Incentives may bring down the cost of solar energy down

to 10-12 cents per kilowatt hour - which can imply apayback of 5 to 7 years.


21/49

However .

If a location is not currently connected to the grid, it is less expensive toinstall PV panels than to either extend the grid or set up small-scaleelectricity production .

PV :B

est suited for remote site applications having moderate/small powerrequirements consuming applications even where the grid is in existence.

Isolated mountaintops and other rural areas are ideal for stand-alone PVsystems where maintenance and power accessibility makes PV the idealtechnology.


22/49

Applications @ PV

Water Pumping: PV powered pumping systems are excellent ,simple

,reliable life 20 yrs

Commercial Lighting: PV powered lighting systems are reliable and low

cost alternative. Security, billboard sign, area, and outdoor lighting are all

viable applications for PV Consumerelectronics: Solar powered watches, calculators, and cameras

are all everyday applications for PV technologies.

Telecommunications

Residential/Hospital/establishments Power:A residence located more

than a mile from theelectric grid can install a PV system moreinexpensively thanextending theelectric grid

(Over 500,000 homes worldwide use PV power as their only source of

electricity)


23/49

Building Integrated systems

These systems use the existing gridas a back up, as the PV output fallsor the load rises to the point wherethe PV's can no longer supplyenough power

PV arrays can form an attractivefacing on buildings and costs areequivalent to certain traditionalfacing materials such as marble withthe advantage of generating freeelectricity.

Ideal for situations where peakelectricity demand is during daytimesuch as commercial buildings.


24/49

Present PV Scenario in India

In terms of overall installed PV capacity, India comes fourth after Japan,Germany and U.S.

(With Installed capacity of 110 MW)

In the area of Photovoltaics India today is the second largest manufacturerin the world of PV panels based on crystalline solar cells.

(Industrial production in this area has reached a level of 11 MW per yearwhich is about 10% of the worlds total PV production)

A major drive has also been initiated by the Government to export Indian

PV products, systems, technologies and services

(Solar Photovoltaic plant and equipment has been exported to countries inthe Middle East and Africa)


25/49

Indian PV Era Vision 2012

Arid regions receive plentiful solar radiation, regions like Rajasthan,

Gujarat and Haryana receive sunlight in plenty.

Thus the Potential availability - 20 MW/km2 (source IREDA)

IREDA is planning to electrify 18,000 villages by year 2012 mainly

through solar PV systems

Targets have been set for the large scale utilization of PV technology by

different sectors within the next five years


26/49

A Step towards achieving the Vision

The Delhi Government has decided to make use of solar power

compulsory for lighting up hoardings and for street lighting

Global Scenario

Solar Electric Energy demand has grown consistently by 20-25% perannum over thepast 20 years (from 26 MW back in 1980 to 127MW in1997)

Atpresent solar photovoltaic is not the prime contributor to the electricalcapacities but the pace at which advancement of PV technology and withthe rising demand of cleaner source of energy it is expectedby 2030 solarPV will have a leading role in electricity generation

Research is underway for new fabrication techniques, like those used for

microchips. Alternative materials like cadmium sulfide and galliumarsenide ,thin-film cells are in development

Concluding Remarks

The key to successful solar energy installation is to use quality componentsthat have long lifetimes and require minimal maintenance.

The future is bright for continued PV technology dissemination.

PV technology fills a significant need in supplying electricity, creating localjobs and promoting economic development in rural areas, avoiding theexternal environmental costs associated with traditional electricalgeneration technologies.

Major power policy reforms and tax incentives will play a major role if all

the above said is to be effectively realized.

The Light at the end of the Tunnel

By 2020 global solar output could be 276 Terawatt hours, which would

equal 30% of Africa's energy needs or 1% of global demand. Thiswould replace the output of 75 new coal fired power stations. Theglobal solar infrastructure would have an investment value of US$75

billion a year. By 2040 global solar output could be more than 9000Terawatt hours, or 26% of the expected global demand

Can technological developments and the

transition to a culture that is more aware of the

need to safeguard the environment help create

a world powered by the Suns Energy ?
