A few years ago, Solar was considered experimental and was a niche industry in the huge sector of energy generation. It is important to note that in 1977, solar panels cost $77 per watt p. However, currently solar modules cost between $0.33-$0.36 cents/per Watt p, which identifies more than 99% fall in prices. Also In…
Solar module is the centre of solar technology. And although there has been a considerable technological evolution in solar module development for more efficient solar energy generation, consistent growth is needed for successful transition of green energy source into mainstream energy. To win over the fossil fuel and to stay constantly viable as an energy…
