The document summarizes a 100kW solar power plant located at LPU campus. The plant was constructed in 2013 over 3 months with an investment of 1 crore rupees. It uses 400 solar panels placed on the terrace of a building to generate 600V of DC current. While it has benefits of being renewable and reducing electricity bills, it also has disadvantages such as being weather dependent and having high initial costs.

2. • To study solar power plant in LPU campus
 introduction
 Type of the solar power plant at LPU
 Capacity of the power plant
 Working of the solar power plant
 Natural effects of solar power plant
 Advantages of solar plant
 Disadvantages of solar plant

4. • Solar power plant in LPU has been placed on the
terrace of the 38th block.
• 400’s of solar panel has been placed to generate
electricity in a efficient way.
• Solar energy i.e energy provided from sun is steady
throughout the year.
• It is one of the most widely used renewable energy
source. It not only benefits individual owners, but also
benefits the environment.

5.  It was built in 2013 and was
constructed in 3 months.
 Low cost running.
 It generates 600V of DC current.
 Power of 100kW(0.1MW) is
generated.
 Amount of 1 crore was invested
in this project and we are
getting 30% subsidy from Punjab
Govt.

6.  We are not using any battery since
it increases 50% of project cost.
 The length of DC wire should be
less. Hence, the grid tie inverters
should not be placed far from the
panels.
 Clamps are used to fix the panels
with the stands.
 Some devices like lightning
arresters, temperature and
radiation sensors are used.

8. Photovoltaic Electricity – This method uses
photovoltaic cells that absorb the direct
sunlight just like the solar cells you see on
some calculators.

9. As light hits the solar panels, the solar radiation is
converted into direct current electricity (DC).
The direct current flows from the panels and is
converted into alternating current (AC) used by
local electric utilities.
Finally, the electricity travels through
transformers, and the voltage is boosted for
delivery onto the transmission lines for local
electric utilities.

11. • Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels are based on
a high-tech but remarkably simple
technology that converts sunlight directly to
electricity.
• The most important components of a PV cell
are two layers of semiconductor material
commonly composed of silicon crystals.

13.  The bottom layer of the PV cell is usually
doped with boron, which bonds with the
silicon to facilitate a positive charge (P),
while the top layer is doped with
phosphorus, which bonds with the silicon
to facilitate a negative charge (N).
 The surface between the resulting "p-
type" and "n-type" semiconductors is
called the P-N junction. Electron
movement produces an electric field that
allows electrons to flow from the p-type
layer to the n-type layer.

17.  Solar energy has the potential to
dramatically change the way the world
gets its power.
 While solar is among the world's
cleanest forms of energy, plans to
develop utility scale solar farms have
raised concerns about potential
environmental impacts.
