2. What is Solar Power Systems?
Solar Power systems are nothing
but a system comprising of solar
panels and the other mechanism
according to the various uses of the
system for different purposes. It
mainly uses solar energy as the
main power source for its
operation.
3. Components of Solar
Power Systems
The basic components of a
solar power system
includes:
1. PV Module
2. Inverter
3. Main Fuse Box
4. Utility Meter
5. Grid
4. COMPONENTS OF SOLAR POWER
SYSTEMS
1.Inverter is a small set-up that has a simple
working principle of converting Direct Current
(D.C.) into Alternating Current(A.C.)
2. Main Fuse Box :
• It is a distributor box that supplies power to
different
• appliances according to the requirement of
individual appliances.
5. COMPONENTS OF SOLAR POWER
SYSTEMS
• 1. PV Module:
• A PV module is a
panel consisting of
many solar cells or
photovoltaic cells
that store solar
energy and convert it
into electricity for
further usage.
6. COMPONENTS OF SOLAR POWER
SYSTEMS
• 4. A utility meter is defined
according to its usage. The
utility can be in the form of
electricity, Gas, Water, Heat,
etc.
• 5. Grid: The Grid is a
connection of Photovoltaic or
PV modules used to generate
more & more electricity using
solar energy. It consists of a
large number of inverters
according to the number of
panels connected in the grid.

What are Fossil Fuels? Matter formed from fossilized, buried remains of plants and
animals that lived or existed millions of years ago on our Earth is called Fossil fuel. Coal,
natural gas, and crude oil are considered Fossil fuels. These fuels contain carbon and
hydrogen elements that help them to burn and produce energy i.e. heat and are lightly
used for multiple purposes by humans like in steel plants, electrical generation, running
vehicles, and many more. On the other hand Fossil fuels also produce a lot of smoke of
SO2 sulfur dioxide causing acid rain, CO2 carbon dioxide causing air pollution, and
these non-renewable resources thus it is going to be reduced with a single use. After
considering fossil fuels now let us know what are its advantages and disadvantages.
10. I COMPARISON TABLE ADVANTAGES
INTERESTING, RIGHT?
• • Fossil fuels are available abundantly in
our environment •Fossil fuels are
available at a cheaper rate
• Fossil fuels are easy to store and
transport
• Fossil fuels boost the Economy of a
nation Power stations can be built almost
anywhere
• Fossils are non-renewable resources
• Fossil fuels are responsible to pollute the
environment
• Fossil fuels are unsustainable
Fossil fuels are hazardous in nature. The residue
remaining after combustion is also harmful to the
environment

11. INTERESTING SOLAR ENERGY
FACTS
1. SOLAR IS THE MOST ABUNDANT ENERGY SOURCE ON EARTH
SOLAR ENERGY REFERS TO LIGHT AND HEAT RADIATION FROM THE SUN
THAT IS HARNESSED TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY. WHILE WE SCALE UP
TECHNOLOGIES ACROSS THE GLOBE TO CAPTURE AND CONVERT SOLAR
ENERGY, THE EARTH ALREADY RECEIVES IT IN SPADES. AN HOUR AND A
HALF’S WORTH OF SOLAR ENERGY THAT REACHES THE SURFACE OF THE
PLANET HAS ENOUGH POWER TO MEET ALL OF HUMANITY’S ENERGY
CONSUMPTION FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. SINCE THE SUN IS NOT GOING AWAY
ANYTIME SOON, WE HAVE THE ABILITY AND TECHNOLOGY TO DEPEND ON
SOLAR ENERGY ENTIRELY AND END THE GLOBAL USE AND CONSUMPTION
OF FOSSIL FUELS.
