| Description | फोटोवोल्टिक पैनल (Phoṭovoḷṭik Painal), or प्रकाशवोल्टीय पैनल (Prakashvoltaiy Panel) [1], are semiconductor devices converting solar irradiance into electrical energy. Crystalline silicon, often sourced from deposits within the Indian subcontinent, forms the core material. Efficiency ranges from 15-22%. Thin-film alternatives utilize materials like cadmium telluride. Encapsulation involves polymers and glass, ensuring durability against environmental factors. Modern applications include Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), offering a contemporary interpretation of the 'सूर्य ऊर्जा' (Surya Urja) concept. Integration with heritage sites provides off-grid power for lighting and climate control, mitigating environmental impact. Conservation efforts must address aesthetic integration within traditional architectural contexts. Durability concerns include delamination and cell degradation, requiring periodic inspection and replacement. The lifespan is typically 25-30 years. Future research focuses on enhancing efficiency and reducing material costs. Traditional 'सौर पैनल' (Saur Panel) integration was not possible historically, but modern adaptations respect the 'वास्तु शास्त्र' (Vastu Shastra) principles of energy flow [2]. |
