Borehole Solarization
In rana ltd borehole solar installation system uses solar panels to power a pump, extracting water from an underground borehole for sustainable, off-grid water supply, ideal for irrigation, homes, or communities. Key components include solar panels, a submersible pump, a controller/inverter, piping, and often a storage tank, with professional installation involving site assessment, component sizing, panel mounting, and system testing for efficiency. These systems eliminate running costs, offer reliability, and protect the pump from dry running.
Core Components for solar installation
1. Photovoltaic (PV) Cells:
The core components, often made from silicon (mono- or poly-crystalline) or thin-film materials, convert sunlight to DC power.
2. Modules/Panels:
Multiple cells wired together in a protective frame. Arrays: Strings of modules connected in parallel to achieve desired voltage/current.
3. Inverter:
Converts DC power from panels to usable AC electricity for homes/businesses.
4. Mounting System:
Brackets for stable installation on roofs or ground.
5. Batteries (Optional):
For energy storage, especially for off-grid or backup power.
Design Process Steps
1. Energy Audit:
Calculate daily/monthly energy consumption (kWh). Site Assessment: Determine peak sun hours and available space.
2. System Sizing:
Calculate total kW needed, then estimate the number of panels based on consumption, sun hours, and panel efficiency (typically 75-98%).
3. Array Configuration:
Arrange modules (strings/arrays) for optimal power output.
Design Considerations
Efficiency : Higher efficiency cells generate more power in less space.
Weatherproofing : Panels must withstand harsh conditions (wind, rain, snow over heating).
