The document discusses solar energy business ecosystems. It describes how solar energy can be divided into solar photovoltaic, which generates electricity from sunlight, and solar thermal, which uses sunlight for heating. It then provides details on the components, applications, markets, and types of both solar thermal and solar photovoltaic systems. The document also outlines various government policies that support solar energy businesses and end users.

The Ecosystem

2. Solar energy business ecosystem
• Considering overall solar energy business ecosystem …..
• Broadly the solar energy sector can be divided in to
 Solar Photovoltaic
 Solar Thermal
• Solar PV : Sunlight to generate electricity
• Solar Thermal : use heat of sunlight for heating or power generation.

4. Solar System
Solar: Solid state device, converts Sunlight or Solar energy into
usable form of energy directly.
Types:
1.) Solar Thermal
2.) Solar Photo Voltaic or PV

5. Solar Thermal
Converts sunlight or solar energy into thermal or heat energy
directly.

6. APPLICATION OF SOLAR THERMAL
Solid/ Liquid/ Gas
 Cooking
 Drying
 Washing / Wash Room
 Space heating
 Process heating

7. Where is the Market ?
Why Solar Thermal Only?
 As replacement to conventional fuel (solid/liquid /gases)
 If conventional fuel is costly
 Availability is the limitation to conventional fuel

8. Solar Photo Voltaic or PV
Converts sunlight or solar energy into electrical energy directly.

9. APPLICATION OF SOLAR Photo Voltaic or PV
Electrical power generation
Can be utilized for all electrical needs

10. Where is the Market ?
Why Solar Photo Voltaic Only?
 As replacement to conventional fuel (solid/liquid /gases)
 If conventional fuel is costly
 Availability is the limitation to conventional fuel
