4. Fundamental
Principle
The fundamental principle of a solar power
generation system
involves converting sunlight into electricity
using
photovoltaic cells. PV cells are typically
made of semiconductor
materials,such as silicon, which can absorb
photons from sunlight and release
electrons, creating an
electric current.

12. Environmental
Impact
1. **Greenhouse Gas Reduction:** Solar power significantly reduces greenhouse gas
emissions compared to fossil fuel-based energy, contributing to climate change
mitigation.
2. **Minimal Pollution:** Solar systems operate with low air and water pollution,
promoting cleaner environments and better public health.
3. **Renewable Resource Utilization:** By harnessing sunlight, solar power decreases
dependence on finite fossil fuels, fostering sustainable energy practices.

13. Economic Considerations
1. **Initial Investment and Long-Term Savings:** The upfront cost of installing solar
power systems can be relatively high, but over time, they often lead to significant
long-term savings on electricity bills, providing a favorable return on investment.
2. **Job Creation and Economic Growth:** The solar industry contributes to job
creation through manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and related services. This
fosters economic growth and can have positive ripple effects in local economies.
3. **Grid Independence and Energy Security:** Solar power systems offer the
potential for decentralized energy production, reducing dependence on centralized
power grids. This can enhance energy security and resilience, especially in regions
prone to power disruptions.
It's important to note that the economic viability of solar power is influenced by factors
such as government incentives, subsidies, technological advancements, and the local
solar resource availability. As technology advances and economies of scale improve,
solar power becomes increasingly competitive in the energy market.

16. 1. The first instance of solar power generation dates back to 1958 when the U.S.
satellite Vanguard 1 used solar cells to generate electricity in space. It marked a
crucial milestone in demonstrating the feasibility of harnessing solar energy beyond
Earth.
2. With a total capacity of 2.25 GW across 14,000 acres, Bhadla Solar Park in
India is the largest solar farm in the world to date. Located in the village of
Bhadla in the Jodhpur District of Rajasthan
3.Did you know that solar power generation in space is more efficient than on
Earth? In space, there's no atmosphere to scatter or absorb sunlight, allowing
solar panels to capture more energy.
4. Nepal's largest solar power station, a 25 megawatt plant in
Nuwakot,.
5. Who discovered solar energy? Edmond
Becquerel discovered the principle behind
solar energy in 1839.
