Basic Electrical Concepts
Lesson Objectives By the end of this module, students should be able to: Understand the fundamental principles of electricity. Identify key electrical terms and concepts. Learn about different types of electrical circuits and their applications. Explore safety measures and best practices when working with electrical systems. Lesson 1: Fundamentals of Electricity 1.1 Introduction to Electricity Electricity is the movement of electric charge, typically carried by electrons in a conductor. It is the foundation of all electrical and electronic systems, including solar energy systems.

Module 3: Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems
1. Introduction to Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels. These systems are widely used for residential, commercial, and industrial applications due to their efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. 2. Types of Solar PV Systems a) Grid-Tied Solar PV Systems Connected to the national power grid. Excess power can be fed into the grid (net metering). Requires an inverter to convert DC to AC. Stops working during grid failures unless paired with a hybrid inverter. b) Off-Grid Solar PV Systems Operates independently from the power grid. Uses batteries for energy storage. Suitable for remote areas without grid access. Requires a charge controller to regulate power flow. c) Hybrid Solar PV Systems Combines grid-tied and off-grid features. Uses batteries for backup power during outages. Can prioritize solar, grid, or battery power based on configuration. 3. Components of a Solar PV System a) Solar Panels Convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Types of solar panels: Monocrystalline – High efficiency, long lifespan, expensive. Polycrystalline – Moderate efficiency, affordable. Thin-film – Lightweight, flexible, lower efficiency. b) Solar Inverter Converts DC electricity from solar panels into alternating current (AC) used by appliances. Types: String Inverters, Microinverters, Hybrid Inverters. c) Battery Storage Stores excess energy for later use (off-grid and hybrid systems). Types: Lead-Acid, Lithium-Ion, and Flow Batteries. d) Charge Controller Regulates voltage and current from solar panels to prevent overcharging. Types: PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking). e) Mounting Structures Supports and positions solar panels at the optimal angle for sunlight absorption. Types: Fixed, Adjustable, and Tracking Mounts. f) Electrical Components & Wiring Includes circuit breakers, junction boxes, fuses, and disconnect switches for safety and connectivity.

Module 4: Solar Panels and Their Characteristics
Solar panels are the heart of any solar photovoltaic (PV) system, responsible for converting sunlight into electrical energy. Understanding the different types, characteristics, and performance factors of solar panels is crucial for designing efficient solar power systems. Types of Solar Panels 1. Monocrystalline Solar Panels ✅ Made from a single crystal of silicon (high purity). ✅ High efficiency (15-22%) due to better electron flow. ✅ Space-efficient, requiring less area for the same output. ✅ Long lifespan (25+ years). ❌ Expensive compared to other types. 2. Polycrystalline Solar Panels ✅ Made from multiple silicon crystals. ✅ Moderate efficiency (13-18%). ✅ More affordable than monocrystalline panels. ✅ Slightly lower heat tolerance. ❌ Requires more space for the same energy output. 3. Thin-Film Solar Panels ✅ Lightweight and flexible. ✅ Suitable for large-scale applications (e.g., solar farms). ✅ Works better in low-light and high-temperature conditions. ✅ Cost-effective for large projects. ❌ Lower efficiency (10-12%). ❌ Requires more space for the same energy output. 4. Bifacial Solar Panels ✅ Can generate power from both sides (front and back). ✅ Higher energy yield compared to traditional panels. ✅ Works well in highly reflective areas (e.g., deserts, snowy environments). ❌ More expensive and requires careful installation.
