SOLAR ON-GRID RESIDENTIAL POWER PROJECT

---

According to the requirement of power, multiple photovoltaic modules are electrically connected together to form a PV array and to achieve more power. There are different types of PV systems according to their implementation.

Grid connected systems: These solar power systems are tied with grids so that the excess required power can be accessed from the grid. They may or may not be backed by batteries.

As the name suggest, in this type of solar power system, sun rays are concentrated (focused) on a small area by placing mirrors or lenses over a large area. Due to this, a huge amount of heat is generated at the focused area. This heat can be used to heat up the working fluid which can further drive the steam turbine. There are different types of technologies that are based on the concentrated solar power to produce electricity. Some of them are - parabolic trough, Stirling dish, solar power tower etc. The following schematic shows how a solar power tower works.
