[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The rising global warming and climate change concerns encouraged world economies to probe into renewable energy sources. Due to the abundance and availability of solar irradiation, solar energy technology is being extensively researched and widely adopted. Hence, the Solar Panel System market has boomed since its creation in the middle of the 20th century because of its efficient and environmentally friendly method of generating electricity.

What are PV panels?

Photovoltaic (PV) panels, more commonly referred to as solar panels, utilize the sun’s energy and turn it into electricity. This article will go through different types of PV panels and systems and their performance.

Solar PV System Types

Let’s first talk about the different solar energy systems before moving on to the various PV solar panel types.

There are three main kinds of solar PV systems:

• On-Grid Systems
• Off-Grid Systems
• Hybrid Systems

On-Grid Solar System

The On-Grid solar system is connected to the utility grid via a power inverter device which allows the solar system to function in parallel with the electric grid.

Off-Grid Solar System:

The Off-Grid solar system is not connected to the utility grid. These systems require a battery storage system in order to store the extra energy generated throughout the day to be used later when solar energy generation decreases or ceases.

Hybrid Solar System: 

The Hybrid solar system is connected to the utility grid while also having a battery storage system in order to store the extra energy generated. Hybrid solar systems provide great coverage against both irregular solar energy production and unannounced power outages.

TYPES OF PV PANELS

PV solar panels come in a variety of technology types. Monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film are some of these varieties.

Monocrystalline

It is recognized as mono because single-crystal silicon permits electrons to make electricity. The thickness of these wafers ranges between 200 and 400 μm. The cells are divided into a single silicon source resulting in monocrystalline modules that are the most effective of the several modules. Such modules have powerful output and an efficiency of about 20%. The benefits of such modules include taking up the least amount of space and long-lasting quality.

Polycrystalline 

The word “polycrystalline” means “many,” which implies that a polycrystalline panel is constructed from several blended silicon bits. A polycrystalline solar panel is constructed from melted silicon wafers with thicknesses ranging from 200 to 400 μm. A polycrystalline module can be used for more than 25 years without failure. Polycrystalline modules are in high demand because they offer the highest performance. 

Thin-film 

Different types of materials are used to do thin-film modules. Instead of solid silicon wafers, they are made of non-crystalline silicon placed on top of glass, plastic, or metal. Thin Film modules are the best choice for fewer power tasks because they are inexpensive, lightweight, and portable. These sorts of PV panels are employed in commercial and industrial projects where space is limited.

Solar BOOT Model:

The BOOT Model is a project delivery strategy in which Shams Power offers a Photovoltaic (PV) based electricity generating system by delivering end-to-end services in which we build, own, run, and transfer the solar power system under PPA.

This methodology eliminates all CAPEX, OPEX and system performance risks at the user’s end.

As we provide our clients with a full range of services, including Financing, Design, Procurement, Construction, Installation, Operations, and Maintenance of solar power plants. Our build-own-operate-transfer method, created specifically for large commercial and industrial sectors, enables significant savings on electricity bills while also achieving sustainability goals.

Conclusion

After discussing the various solar PV system types, we can now see why Solar Energy is a preferred renewable energy option. Solar panels may generate energy without needing any raw materials because irradiation from the sun is abundant. Solar photovoltaic panels can produce electricity anywhere there is sunlight. They are low maintenance, simple to install, and versatile. Hence, Solar Energy System on solar PPA is a wise investment for a better and cleaner future.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Pakistan is one of the affluent countries in terms of solar energy availability. It ranks sixth in terms of solar energy potential and ranges from 1500 to 2200 kWh/m/year.

The industrial and commercial sectors in Pakistan are mainly reliant on non-renewable grid power. One example is Diesel generators; they supply backup power but arecostly and have low reliability. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for firms to thrive in highly competitive global and local marketplaces. Thus, now many firms are looking for greener alternatives like solar energy solutions to run their daily operations without any hassle.

The above underlying factors have consequently encouraged the shift of the industrial sector towards renewable sources.  Pakistan Solar Solutions like Solar PPA rooftop, ground-mounted, and solar carport structures have worked out as a positive instigator for solar power development in the industrial sector. Hence, many firms opt to get electricity from private solar energy providers to reduce the energy deficiency.

Implementation of solar grid solution on a national scale

Pakistan, fortunately, is one of those countries that receive 1,500 kWh/m of irradiance annually over 90% of its land and has a large capacity for solar power generation. The annual mean value of Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) for Pakistan, 2071 kWh/m, calls for a great investment opportunity for Solar Power generating companies.

The introduction of the Solar Power Purchase Agreement and BOOT (Built-Own-Operate and Transfer) Model has made the installation of Solar System very convenient.

Solar Power – A Promising Investment 

Pakistan’s industrialists are prepared to diversify the country’s energy mix by engaging in solar power facilities. This approach encourage implementing advanced clean energy technologies like Photovoltaic Solar Energy, Solar Panel Systems, and net metering in the industrial and commercial sectors. Backed by the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable energy, many private firms are now rooting for solar grid solutions on Power Purchase Agreement Basis.

Hence, many firms  are adapting sustainable energy expertise with the help of Solar Power generating companies for long-term benefits. Let’s take a peek at a few of them:

 

Metro Cash & Carry Pakistan Partnering with Shams Power

Metro Cash & Carry Pakistan, signed a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Shams Power. The enterprise’s corporate goal was to install Solar Panel Systems at its stores all over Pakistan. It allowed them to incorporate 5MW of solar power systems for reducing 2,639,000 kgs of carbon emissions annually.

 

AkzoNobel Pakistan bears no capital expenditure with Shams Power

AkzoNobel Pakistan, a renowned paints and coatings manufacturer has also installed a solar system at the Lahore production site and office. Shams Power will manage and maintain solar systems for AkzoNobel Pakistan on a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) basis. This means that AkzoNobel will pay zero for investment and maintenance cost. Thus, Shams Power has constructed a 0.5 MW solar power system as part of this arrangement, saving AkzoNobel Pakistan about EUR 14,000 in electricity expenses and 387,000 Kg of carbon emissions per year.

 

Packages Mall finds Grid Tied connectivity with Shams Power

On a PPA basis, Shams Power installed a 2 MW rooftop solar system at Packages Mall. It will help them to cut carbon emissions by 1100 tons per year. Under the BOOT model, they received a tailored solution in the form of  a Power Purchase Agreement, which enabled them to pursue effective efforts toward a more empowered, greener future.
