Solar panels are simply panels with integrated Photovoltaic Cells (PVC). PVC converts the sun’s photons (packeted heat energy) into electricity to make your life easier.

What is the maximum amount of energy that a solar panel can provide?

The DC output power of each panel is rated under standard test conditions (STC) and normally ranges from 100 to 365 Watts (W). Given the same rated output, the efficiency of a panel determines the area of a module — an 8 percent efficient 230 W panel will have double the area of a 16 percent efficient 230 W panel. Only a few commercially available solar modules have an efficiency higher than 24%.

Is It Worth It To Invest In Solar Panels In Pakistan?

First and foremost, with all of these energy difficulties, a country like Pakistan requires some sort of support system, such as Solar Panels, to replace energy sources. Pakistan is also in a unique geographical location. It receives a lot of solar radiation. It has some areas that are extremely hot for more than six months of the year. But, is it true that ‘Solar Panels’ are the answer? Is it really worth it to spend so much money?

The Cost

Solar panels are sold on a per-watt basis, hence a 100-watt solar panel is possible. Using two of these panels will yield 200 watts, and so on.

When it comes to Solar Panels, there are three key components that we must obtain:

• Photovoltaic panels
• Batteries: used to store created energy for later use • Invertors: used to transform electricity into a form that our appliances can understand.

The math is simple: Rs.100 per watt plus the cost of the inverter, batteries, and maintenance.

Maintenance Cost

• Solar panels have a 25-year life span, but their efficiency (or capacity to generate electricity) decreases over time. Dry batteries have a lifespan of about 5-7 years, while liquid batteries have a lifespan of about 2 years.

Since of the high maintenance costs, it has not become a viable energy alternative because people do not see it as a one-time investment and instead see it as extremely demanding. Solar energy will take time to become a viable option. However, as solar technology becomes more affordable, the cost becomes more sustainable.

Conclusion

If you have some spare cash, put it into PVCs. Not only will it aid the country’s recovery from its energy crisis, but the cost of upkeep after the initial installation of the panels will be less than the hefty monthly electricity bills you’ll be paying. It is preferable to rely on solar energy only in part. For example, the larger units could be powered by solar panels. Air conditioners, washing machines, and other large appliances can be powered by solar panels, as can lighting and fans. To distribute the burden, choose one of the two options. With the rate at which technology advances, it is safe to say that Solar Energy is the way of the future!

As a result, don’t be left out. As technology progresses, more efficient and less expensive methods may emerge, making their adoption much simpler.

Meta Description

As we all know Solar Energy and Solar Panels are in the talk right now in the whole world. This blog post will give you all the insights into does this technology is worth it in Pakistan by all means or not!
