Today’s latest topic especially in summer is how to save electricity?

SOLAR PANELS

First we should know , who invented this and how he invented it ?

The first working solar plates or solar cells , were invented by Charles Fritts in 1883 . He created them using selenium wafers coated with a thin layer of gold to generate electricity from sunlight .

The development of solar plates has come a long way since then, with significant advancement in technology leading to the efficient solar plates we use today.

Solar plates , also known as SOLAR PANEL or PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) , are flat, rectangular devices that convert sunlight to electrical energy . They are made from photovoltaic cells , which are made from semiconducting material like silicon . These cells are arranged in a grid-like pattern on the surface of the place .

Solar plates are useful to humans in many ways…

1.Electricity Generation : Solar plates generate electricity , powering houses , industries and businesses .

2.Renewable Energy Source : Solar plates provide a clean and sustainable source of energy , reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and mitigating climate change .

3.Water Heating : Solar plates can be used for water Heating , providing hot water for household use .

4.Lighting : Solar plates can power the lighting system , providing an energy-efficient and cost-efficient lighting solution .

5.Energy Independence : Solar plates enable individuals and communicate to generate their own energy , reducing independence on grid electricity .

6.Agricultural Application : Solar plates can power irrigation systems , water pumps and other agriculture equipment .

7.Remote Power Generation : Solar plates can provide energy access in remote areas where traditional grid electricity is unavailable.

8.Reduce Energy Costs : Solar plates can significantly reduce energy cost , especially in areas with high sunlight exposure .

9.Low Maintenance : Solar plates require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan ( 25- 30 years or more ).

10.Environmental Benefits : Solar plates help reduce green house gas emission pollution and carbon foot print .

In summary , solar plates offer a clean , efficient and cost effective way to generate energy , making them valuable resources for humanity .
