Learn the fundamentals of Solar Energy and the process that generates it

It was more than a century ago that solar energy was first discovered and used and ever since then the solar power market has only expanded. Solar energy is the energy that we extract from the Sun and use it to produce electricity. The sun’s energy is trapped and stored in what we call Solar panels which are a combination of various solar cells put together to produce a maximum amount of electricity. The solar cell manufacturing companies in India and all around the globe manufacture 4 different types of solar panels of which we shall talk about in the latter part of this article.

A little something about how the sun radiates energy 

The Sun as we know it is the biggest star of our solar system and also of our galaxy and its constituent elements are Hydrogen and Helium. In the core of the sun, Hydrogen atoms keep breaking into Helium atoms and it takes 4 hydrogen atoms to form 1 helium atom. This process is called nuclear fusion and is a continuous process that keeps occurring on the sun every moment. 

The sun experiences constant breaking of hydrogen atoms into helium atoms which is why it never ceases to emit energy. Hence, the sun is called a huge ball of fire, this energy that it emits/radiates is further received by the solar modules which use it to produce electricity.

How do solar modules work? 

Solar panels are like a storehouse where the solar energy is collected and stored and is further used to produce electricity. The typical solar modules which we use are composed of individual solar cells, which are further made of layers of silicon, boron and phosphorus. 

The Silicon layer acts as a semiconductor and when the photons from the sun rays strike the panel surface it knocks out the electrons from the silicon layer and into the electric field generated by solar cells which in turn generates electricity. This process is called photovoltaic effect and hence solar panels are also called Photovoltaic Panels or PV panels. There are different types of solar panels such as Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline, PERC and Thin-film Solar Panels.

Of all the four varieties of the solar modules the solar module manufacturers mostly manufacture the Monocrystalline Solar Panels because they are the most effective among all modules and bring in the most profit. 

The solar power industry has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry ever since its inception and there are many firms that manufacture solar modules. Premier Energies is one such firm. Since their establishment back in 1995 the firm has achieved a number of milestones and continues to do so. They are committed to providing a top-notch quality service and their professionalism is reflected in their works. At the end, you can always check for your options and opt for any firm that you like to receive your solar modules from but keep in mind that Premier Energies is one name that one can rely upon in this industry.
