Process of Solar energy Power Projects Nowadays, energy prices are rising every year and stores of non-renewable energy are depleting at a very high pace that has emerged alternative sources at center stage. Solar energy is one of the most abundant sources of heat and electricity due to this; scientists are constantly researching for different methods to harness power for homes and workplaces. On our planet there are many alternative sources like wind, biogas, tidal and many more. Solar energy is classified in two powers to denote its usage that are: direct and indirect. Photovoltaic cells convert solar energy to electricity being a direct form of energy. It utilizes black bottomed pool for collecting solar energy thus, it is considered direct. In an indirect method, it requires one or more intermediary steps for conversion of sunlight to power. Even plant photosynthesis is indirect method because it creates energy by possible fuel sources inclusion like carbon, biofuel, water and many more. There are distinguished two main ways of tapping the sun for energy. Those are photovoltaic electricity and solar thermal power. Solar thermal energy collects heat energy from sun for operation of turbines to generate electricity. Photovoltaic electricity is generated by using specialized silicon cells that interact with sunlight for creating electric current. There are many Professional Power Projects that are going to establish in recent times. Solar thermal power is a process by which the sun’s heat energy is collected at one place and later it is used to create electrical current. Solar thermal energy collectors resemble like satellite arrays having a dish that covers the concentration of sun’s heat on a small point. Once this power is collected then this energy helps in boiling water and used to turn turbines for creation of electricity. This process is completely indirect method for creation of solar energy and certainly, it can be used only at times when sun is shining. Photovoltaic energy is direct energy that converts sun rays directly to electricity. Photovoltaic cells are little chips that are made of silicon that absorbs sun’s energy. This silicon chip is made of two layers of specially treated silicon. Whenever light hits the bottom layer of specially treated layer, photons knocks electrons loose that creates an imbalance in charges between top to bottom. Small photovoltaic cells are inexpensive in building and maintaining. Power plant asset acquisition is the best service provided by renewable source power plant transition management.
