1. INTRODUCTION
Energy is unavoidable part of our life. The demand of energy in various forms
is continuously increasing. But to fulfill all of these demands is impossible with help of
conventional sources like wind power, solar energy. There is unlimited solar power
available in the surface of earth, but the use of it is limited. So to increase the use of solor
power, solar power equipments are necessary.

Flat plate solar systems were perfected and used on a very large scale in Israel. In the
1950s there was a fuel shortage in the new Israeli state, and the government forbade

The type, complexity, and size of a solar water heating system are mostly
determined by:
The temperature and amount of the water required from the system. Changes in
ambient temperature and solar radiation between summer and winter. The changes in
ambient temperature during the day-night cycle. The possibility of the potable water or
collector fluid overheating. The possibility of the potable water or collector fluid
freezing.
The minimum requirements of the system are typically determined by the
amount or temperature of hot water required during winter, when a system's output and
incoming water temperature are typically at their lowest. The maximum output of the
system is determined by the need to prevent the water in the system from becoming too
hot.

4. SOLAR COOKER
A solar cooker, or solar oven, is a device which uses the energy of sunlight to
heat food or drink to cook it or sterilize it. High-tech versions, for example electric ovens
powered by solar cells, are possible, and have some advantages such as being able to

Trapping heat: It is important to reduce convection by isolating the air inside the cooker
from the air outside the cooker. A plastic bag or tightly sealed glass cover will trap the hot
air inside. This makes it possible to reach similar temperatures on cold and windy days as
on hot days.
Greenhouse effect: Glass transmits visible light but blocks infrared thermal radiation
from escaping. This amplifies the heat trapping effect.

5. SOLAR CELLS
Photovoltaics are best known as a method for generating electric power by
using solar cells to convert energy from the sun into a flow of electrons. The photovoltaic
effect refers to photons of light exciting electrons into a higher state of energy, allowing

Government Polytechnic, Nashik
Some solar chargers also have an on-board battery which is charged by the solar
panel when not charging anything else. This allows the user to be able to use the solar
energy stored in the battery to charge their electronic devices at night or when indoors.

7. CONCLUSION
To complete the demand of energy for mankind use of solar energy is must. It will be
available economically be, if mass production is taken. It is economical, non-polluting,
renewable source of energy. It is must for the currant and next generation.
