Solar power applications
 Concentrating Solar power – It is one of the most important aspects of solar power which
is mainly used in Plants. This can help to utilise scale generator that can produce large
amount of electricity using mirrors and other kind of lenses. It is consider as energy
efficiently concentrate the sun energy. Usually, it will be considered four different
principle of concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies such as central receivers, dis-
Stirling engine system and other parabolic troughs.
 Solar Thermal Electric power plant- This type of solar thermal energy is mainly involves
as harnessing solar energy in term of practical application. This will support for
converting solar heating to electrical power. Typically, it may be considered as thermal
collection through solar hot water panel (Răboacă and et.al., 2019). It is commonly used
to generate solar hot water for purpose of domestic use and light industrial applications.
This kind of energy is helping to the architecture and building a design to control heating,
ventilation in both passive as well as active solar design pattern.
 Photovoltaic- it is based on the PV technology which employs solar cell or PV rays to
easily convert into energy through sun rays. Afterwards, it will be generating an electric
energy. Solar cells are produced the direct current electricity by using Sun rays and then
afterwards, it may be applicable in different kind of power equipment or recharge
batteries. Various type of pocket calculators are incorporating with single cell but utilise
as large applications (Răboacă and et.al., 2019). In some situation, it is generally grouped
together with different form of PV modules and then turn into arrange within solar arrays.
Within remote areas, it is mainly produced the roadside emergency and using different
equipment’s such as cathodic protection related pipeline, telephones and other type of
remote sensing.

 Solar heating system- this type system is mainly used sun light to increase large amount
heating. It can possible with the help of renewable energy sources. The overall system are
mainly composed of multiple thermal collector that can use in solar panel, storage
electricity within tank. Afterwards, it automatically perform as active, passive and batch
systems.
 Solar Power Satellite- it is based on the proposed satellite which built in high level earth
orbit and then uses microwave power transmission to beam solar power. It may
applicable as large antenna on earth where it can easily use in particular place of
conventional power sources. Main Advantage of placing the collectors within place
which become unobstructed view of sun. Therefore, unaffected by any kind of cycle like
day or light, seasons and weather (Wang and et.al., 2019). It is always performed their
activities and generate a proper amount of electricity in proper manner. However, the
price or cost of constructions are becoming high and will not able to compete with other
kind of conventional sources otherwise, it may have chance to reduce the cost or price.
 Solar updraft tower- It is a type of renewable energy power plant. Through this, air is
completely heated in the large amount of circular greenhouse such as structure. As a
resulting, it causes of air in order to increase and also escape through tower. As moving
the air which drive turbine and then produced the large amount of electricity. This type of
solar power is no updraft in several operations at present scenario. For Example-

Identify theory to solve technical problem within sustainable problem
As per analyzing the use of Solar panel within on excavators (equipment) that will change
the overall performance and efficiency. In the world of construction equipment, undercharge and
dead batteries are developing a technical issues. In this way, it will increase a problem of
company in term of profitability. During the off-season, when equipment can sit for days, month
and week. If batteries are low charged for long time intervals. It may have chance to loss of
ability and hold the entire processing of equipment.
In this way, now move towards recent innovation that can help to prevent such kind or
technical problem. Another way, it also save money over long run. Solar power for used of
construction equipment with designed in panel to maintain the harsh environment. Solar power is
consider as ideal solution for construction world, as implement small amount of daily charging.
It can easily handle offset parasitic load with keep batteries in their peak condition (Wu, Zhang
and Liu, 2019). It means that batteries can run last up to 10 years without any kind of
replacement. Afterwards, it can easily start and eliminate issue or problem.
In recently, It has been used the solar technology which has not consider as advancement,
which is enough to enable power to place on the equipment. It allows for solar panel to help
them survival on daily basis. Recent innovation in solar energy that help for providing the
flexibility and maintain a proper resistant without any damage. Additionally, it is extremely
durability where solar panel is becoming sensitive to the light so that they were not need to clean
on regular basis. Solar panel should be produced as more power even when it can convert in the
dirt and at the time of cloudy weather (Wu, Zhang and Liu, 2019). Since solar panel is basically
designed to absorb heat or light, which rapidly increasing the panels through Smooth
hydrophobic surface. Solar technology is one of the most efficient innovation that allows for
9

generating large amount of electricity so that it become help for using into different electrical
construction equipment’s. Additionally, Theory of defect electronic properties in the material of
solar panel, semiconductors and thin-film solar cell fabrication
The solar innovation technology can remove the sustainable problem in order to achieve
desirable goals. This can possible because solar energy is free source of renewable which will be
never depleted. Fossil Fuels are other kind of renewable resources which is mainly emit
greenhouse gases and particulates at the time of processing, combustion and extraction. As
comparison with Solar Panel, it does not produced any kind of emission while in use but they
have required various kind of materials, which need to use appropriate amount of resource or
energy (Wu, Zhang and Liu, 2019). Generally, the energy can used to extract the raw materials
and also manufacture a product. It is also known as embodied energy. It may produce large
amount of energy at same time, takes for product to repay its embodied energy. This will be
measured by total energy payback time.
For Example- A typical silicon crystalline solar panel will be using to generate enough
amount of energy and then repay their embodied within 3-2 years of installation. Moreover,
Solar panel will help for increasing their overall payback time and also reduce to less than 3
years. Modern solar panel would be generating an enough energy to repay the embodied energy
within 2-3 years. As per analysis, it has been identified that solar PV cell and its efficiency
increases 15 to 28 percentage over last years. Therefore, it can easily estimate or measure the
efficiency.
