Solar Energy and JETS (Future of India)

History on Solar Power

It is Sun which creates and protects the World by enlightening our lives daily, keeps us away from Evil and prompts us always to always work towards light and happiness. Sunshine has been offered In abundance by Lord in our country and its energetic rays give life to us. Solar energy though available in abundance is not getting ideally utilized in our country. Jupiter electronics is keen to harness this valuable energy store it and reproduce it when needed.
Solar energy a radiant light and heat from Sun which has been harnessed by humans since ancient Times by trying to use a range of ever- evolving technologies. Solar electrical generation relies on both Heat engines and Photovoltics. A partial list of solar applications includes space heating and cooling through solar architecture, potable water via disinfection, day lighting, solar hot water, solar cooking, Street Lighting, home lighting and high temperature process heat for industrial purpose. To harvest solar energy, the most common way is to use solar panels.
Solar technologies are broadly characterized as either passive solar or active solar depending on the way. They are captured, converted and distributed. Active Solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors to harness the energy and this is the area where Jupiter electronics is going to focus in future.
About half of the incoming Solar energy reaches the Earth’s surface. Our Earth receives 174 petawatts(PW) of incoming solar radiations (insolation) at the upper atmosphere, approximately 30% is reflected back to the space while the rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans and land masses. The amount of Solar energy reaching the surface of the planet is so vast that in one year it is about twice as much as will ever be obtained from all the Earth’s non renewable resources of coal, oil, natural gas and mined uranium Combined.
Solar energy can be harnessed in different levels around the world. Depending on a geographical location. The closer to the equator the more “Potential” solar energy is available. Active solar technique use Photovoltaic Panels, Pumps, and fans to convert sunlight into useful outputs. Passive solar techniques include selecting material with favorable thermal properties, designing spaces that naturally circulate.
Air and referencing the position of a building to the Sun. Daylighting systems collect and distribute sunlight to provide interior illumination. This passive technology directly offsets energy use by replacing Artificial lighting and indirectly offsets non-solar energy use by reducing the need for air conditioning. Although difficult to quantify, the use of natural lighting also offers psychological benefits compared to artificial lighting. Day lighting design implies careful selection of window types , sizes and orientation, exterior shading devices may be considered as well.
