Photovoltaic panels in Saudi for environment friendly electricity generation
Photovoltaic panels are the types of solar panels which are used for residential and commercial purposes to produce electricity by converting solar energy into electrical energy. The photovoltaic device captures the solar energy and directly converts it in the form of electricity. PV panels are made by semi-conductors which absorb the solar energy and generate electricity.
Different components of photovoltaic panels
· Solar panels
The solar panels (PV modules or photovoltaic) are the main components which work well in converting sun light into electric energy. Various modules are connected with each other to produce high voltage electrical power.
· Inverter
It plays a vital role in converting the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) which is required to use in most of the electrical appliances. If there is any issue with PV system then inverter will make the system safe.
· Generation meter
It is used to count the number of units generated by the PV system for creating electricity. The generation meter is an essential component for the measurement of Feed-In-Tariff revenue.
· Battery
The battery is used to store the surplus energy which you can use at the night. The PV panels recharge the batteries every day to maintain the charge.
· DC Isolator
This component is used for disconnecting the solar array from the inverter. There are many inverters which have integrated DC isolators.
· AC Isolator
It is mainly used for disconnecting the solar PV system so that the supply of electricity can be stopped in the building when needed. The AC isolator is important for emergencies when you do not want any electrician work in your building.
Benefits of photovoltaic panels in Saudi
· By installing Photovoltaic panel you don’t need to worry about your heavy electricity bills as it uses solar energy for generating electricity which is almost free. As energy rates are increasing day-by-day it’s a worthy decision to invest in PV panel system that not only accomplishes your electricity needs but also saves your money.
· These solar panels are environment friendly which will not cause any damage or negative effects on the environment. It generates electricity in a safe manner which is free from any kind of harmful chemicals and greenhouse gas emissions like carbon-di-oxide.
· It generates electricity from renewable source of energy. In this way it reduces our dependency on non-renewable sources and helps in fighting with climate crisis.
· The PV panels accomplish this in a silent way. It produces no harsh sound or irritating noise during the working process which you normally face with other green-techs like wind turbine.
· As compared to other renewable energy systems, you have to spend very low or almost negligible amount on the maintenance and operations of PV panels.
· You can easily install it on the rooftops or on the ground and enjoy your residential lifestyle in a peaceful manner.
