CURRENT APPLICATIONS
SPV systems used for innovation applications
such as wireless communication in defence.
SPV systems has become a major source for
smaller applications for street lightings,
schools, television, radio, hospitals,
agricultural drying, pumping water.
SPV power plants to meet domestic electrical
energy needs in rural areas.
ADVANTAGES
Solar power from SPV system and solar concentrating system is
produced in environmental friendly manner.
Does not generate any waste or pollution.
Meets the energy requirement in domestic sector in decentralized
manner quite efficiently.
Best suited for off grid application in stand alone mode.
India is blessed with abundant solar insulation for about 250 days in
an year.
Potential source for exploitation.
Most efficient when operates in integrated mode.
