Solar Power Plants

Solar power plants are environmentally friendly, and very promising. As one alternative to replace power plants using steam (with oil and coal). Solar power plant energy system, reducing the world's dependence on fossil fuels, imagine the free energy and continuously sourced from the earth we provided for energy needs and reliable reduce spending power, which continues to be a burden in the domestic life and your business profits. Using its own electricity from solar power (independent) if possible? PLN Is not already provide a fairly cheap electricity? Do the advantages of using independent power?

The advantage of using an independent electricity by using solar panels / solar panel:

•  Is a renewable energy that never runs out
•  Saving electricity in the long term
• Reduce global warming
• Clean and environmentally friendly
• Practically does not require maintenance
•  Long lifespan solar panels
• Does not depend on PLN
•  It is suitable for tropical areas such as Indonesia

Planning Solar Power Generation

Because solar power is dependent upon sunlight, then good planning is necessary. Planning consists of:

•    The amount of power required in everyday use (Watt).
• How large is the current produced by solar cells panel (in Ampere hour), in that it takes into account how many solar panels to be installed.
• How many units of batteries needed for the desired capacity and without any consideration of the use of sunlight. (Ampere hour).

In the to-value economy, solar power plants have a higher value, where electricity from PT. PLN is not possible, or the installation of an electric generator gasoline or diesel.

The components required for the installation of solar power, comprising:

A.     The solar panels / solar panel

Solar panel / solar panels convert solar energy into electricity. Silicon cells (also called solar cells) are exposed to the sun / solar, make the photons that produce electrical current.

Solar cells generate a voltage of approximately 0.5 volts. So a 12-volt solar panel is composed of approximately 36 cells (to produce a maximum voltage of 17 volts).

Generally we calculate the maximum of sunlight converted into electricity during the day is 5 hours. Electric power in the morning - afternoon stored in batteries, so that electricity can be used at night, where no sunlight. Click here to view products Solar Panels

B.     Solar charge controller

Solar charge controller controls the traffic of the solar cell to the battery and the load. The electronic device also has many functions that are basically intended to protect the battery. Click here to see the product Solar Controller

C.     Inverter

Inverter is an electrical device that converts direct voltage (DC - direct current) into AC voltage (AC - alternating current). Click here to see the product Inverter

D.     Battery

Function saves battery electric current generated by solar panels before it is used to drive the load. The load can be either lights or other electronic equipment that requires electricity.
