|---|---|
| Description | सौर पैनल (Saura Painala), or solar panels, are photovoltaic devices [1] used for converting सूर्य ऊर्जा (Surya Urja, solar energy) into विद्युत् (Vidyut, electricity). Modern panels predominantly utilize crystalline silicon (Si) semiconductors, often doped with elements like boron (B) and phosphorus (P) to create p-n junctions. Efficiency ranges from 15-22%, with voltage outputs between 12-48 V. These panels, while a modern innovation, find increasing application in contemporary Indian architecture, mirroring the historical integration of sustainable practices. Unlike traditional Indic building materials sourced from स्थानीय (Sthaniya, local) quarries, mines, and forests, silicon is derived from silica sand. Processing involves refining and purification, followed by crystal growth techniques. Durability is a key concern; encapsulation with polymers protects against environmental degradation. Conservation efforts focus on recycling and responsible disposal. The integration of सौर पैनल into heritage sites requires careful consideration to maintain aesthetic integrity and minimize visual impact, balancing modern energy needs with the preservation of cultural heritage. |
