In this paper mainly we are going to focus on utilization of renewable energy .Conventional energy resources are not only limited but also the prime factor for environmental pollution. The aim of this paper is to generate electricity from solar energy. The sun direction will be continuously monitored, which will directly focus at 90° towards the solar panels. It will increase 40% more efficient in energy production than traditional solar. In this project when the sun rises in the morning solar system automatically unfolds and tracks the sun. It is weatherproof and continuously monitors wind speeds, automatically folding itself into secure position to prevent system damages and portable.

Solar Power Saves $500K in Annual Energy Costs

July 2009 · American Water Works Association

Patrick Sheilds

The Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA), Chino, California, US, adopted large-scale solar energy production strategy to generate renewable energy. It installed SunPower® solar panels and trackers at four of its treatment plants, generating 3.5 MW of clean solar power. The combined systems were expected to help the agency fulfill its goal of powering 100% of its operations with renewable energy ... [Show full abstract] resources by 2010. It was also expected to save $500,000 per annum in electricity costs, using the combined solar systems. The agency commissioned a feasibility study in July, 2007 to determine the potential of solar power as an appropriate renewable energy strategy for its sites. The study confirmed that that solar power was economically viable. It also assessed multiple lands that were available for installing a combination of ground-based fixed-tilt and single-axis sun-tracking systems.

Role of Solar energy and issues in its implementation in Indian context

June 2018

The main objectives of using renewable energy enables us to attain sustainable growth without compromising the future. India is on the 7th nation in generating renewable energy while USA, China and Germany is on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. Secondly, in case of Solar energy, the statistics are: India is on the 7th nation in generating solar energy while China, Japan, and Germany is on 1st, ... [Show full abstract] 2nd, and 3rd respectively, Generating 9, 78, 42.8 and 41.2 (GW) gigawatts from sun power. India having great opportunities in generating solar power because of its location and the availability of large unused land banks throughout the nation. The purpose of the paper is to examine the challenges to the adoption of solar energy as a means of generation of energy and power for the nation's requirement. The methodology adopted for the study is to identify the hurdles/factors limiting the use of solar energy as an alternate source of energy production for the nation from the existing literature review and group discussions with the industry professional and prioritize them using relative importance index and additional tools. The hurdles/factors identified for the study is 16 and a targeted data collection of 105 for the study using convenient sampling technique throughout India. The research finding shall contribute to the existing body of knowledge and provide suggestions to the policy makers, the manufactures and the local bodies working on ground to implement the solar energy as an alternate energy resource to fossil fuels in India.
