How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.

2. What is Solar Energy?
Solar Energy Originates with the
Thermonuclear Fusion Reactions
Occurring in The Sun. The Spectrum
of Solar Light at The Earth's Surface
is Mostly Spread Across the Visible
and Near Infrared Ranges with a
Small Part in the Ultraviolet
Region.
3. Solar Energy as a Resource.
Solar Energy is Increasingly Being Used
as a Resource in The Following Areas-
- Architecture and Urban Planning.
- Agriculture and Horticulture.
- Heating, Cooling and Ventilation.
- Cooking.
- Fuel Production.
4. Solar Energy as a Resource.
- Producing Electricity using Solar
Energy.
5. Thermal Solar Energy-
Using Solar Energy for Heating Fluids
which can be used as a Heat Source or to
Run Turbines to Generate Electricity.
7. Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV)
Photo + Voltaic = Convert Light into
Electricity.
Photovoltaic Comes from the Words Photo,
Meaning Light and Volt, a Measurement of
Electricity.
Photovoltaic Electricity is Obtained by
using Photovoltaic System.
A Basic Photovoltaic
System Consists of
8. Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV)
A Solar PV System Generally
Consists of Photovoltaic Modules
“Solar Panels".
Solar PV Components are-
1- Solar Panel
2- Battery
3- Regulator
4- Load
9. Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV)
Installed as An Array (Series of
Panels), On a Rooftop to Generate Electricit
to be Used By The Home
and Business.
10. Solar Panel-
Solar Panel is an Indispensable
Component of This System.
Solar Panel is Responsible to Collect Solar
Radiations and Transform in into Electrical
Energy.
Solar Panel is an Array of Several Solar
Cells (Photovoltaic Cells).

14. So, Why we Use Solar Power?
With the Amount of Solar Energy
The Planet Receives we Have The Potential
to Provide at Least 1,000 Times the Energy
Consumed Globally.
On a Sunny Day The Sun Gives Off 1,000
Watts of Energy to The Earth’s Surface Per
Square Meter.
15. So, Why Solar Power?
Sunlight is Infinite, Unlike Many of
our Other Energy Sources.
Environmental Concerns/Reduce Carbon
Emissions.
Save Money on Electric Bills.
General Interest in New Technologies.
16. Benefits of Solar in Our Home
& Business?
