The document provides information about solar power and its applications. It discusses how solar energy works by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaics or concentrated solar power. Some key applications of solar energy mentioned are generating electricity, architecture, agriculture, heating, cooling, solar vehicles and ventilation. Specific examples discussed include the world's first 100% solar powered airport in India, Bangladesh leading in solar home systems including creating solar villages, and the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.

2. Solar Power
• Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into
electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV),
or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP).
Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or
mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of
sunlight into a small beam.
• Solar Power is the best renewable resource of all the
other energy resources

3. How does Solar Energy Work

4. Solar Energy Panels / What is a Solar Panel?
•Solar panels are devices that convert light to
electricity.These devices are most often referred to as solar panels
since sunlight is usually the source of light used to power these
devices.
•Solar panels are arrays composed of multiple solar cells. The
amount of energy that individual solar cells trap and generate may
be miniscule but when used to make up the arrays called solar
panels their combined energy can be immense.

5. Applications of Solar Energy
Generating Electricity
Architecture & Urban Planning
Agriculture & Horticulture
Heating & Heat Processes
Cooling
Solar Vehicles
Ventilation

7. World’s 1st 100% Solar Airport in INDIA
•India already has 4 gigawatts of solar capacity, and the Indian government
has begun directing other airports around the country to start incorporating
solar energy into their daily operations. The new international terminal at the
Cochin airport will be operational in May 2016.

8. Bangladesh leads in solar home systems
Bangladesh has topped a global list of countries that have installed the
highest number of Solar Home Systems (SHS).
The 4.12 million units installed in Bangladesh so far have all taken place
in areas beyond the reach of the national
grid.
Bangladesh received support from the
World Bank, Islamic Development Bank,
Global Environmental Facility and the aid
agencies of the United States, Germany,
Britain and Japan, among others.

9. Creating solar villages in Bangladesh
For nearly 50 million people in rural Bangladesh. At present, only about 30% of the rural
households in Bangladesh have access to grid electricity.
According to the report, approximately 38 percent of the population in Bangladesh have no
access to electricity.
Bangladesh has become one of the world’s largest markets for home solar systems.
The 4.12 million units installed in Bangladesh.

6. Reduces Electricity Bills.
7. As Long As There is Light – It Works
8. Environmentally Friendly
9. It Works Everywhere
10. Benefits The Poor

11. Disadvantages of Solar Energy
1.Expensive to install initially
2.Doesn’t work at night
3.Weather Dependent
4. Solar Energy Storage Is Expensive
5. Uses a Lot of Space
6. Solar doesn’t work in cool, cloudy or foggy climates
7. Solar panels are made of polluting materials
