SOLAR ENERGY IN PAKISTAN

BY ENGR. ANEES UR REHMAN

ENERGY CRISIS
Now a days Pakistan is facing energy crises.

Since long time we depending upon the conventional

fuels like Oil and Gus for generating major part of our energy. There are many other means for generating energy like as Solar, Wind, Nuclear, Coal, and Hydel . The other countries of world are adopting these means of generating energy very rapidly.

Supply and Demand

The total power production capacity in country is

19500 MW .
Country is falling short of 4500MW. The demand of electricity is growing at the annual

rat of 9% while supply of electricity is increasing at comparatively slow rate of 7%.

Solar System
The Sun and stars are the basis of solar system that

sustain life on earth.

Distance from earth 150 million kilometers. Diameter 1390,000 kilometer. Mass 330,000 times than the mass of earth. Maximum the source of energy and light for the earth.

Definition of solar energy

Solar energy is the energy received by the earth from

sun .The sun produce energy by the nuclear fusion of hydrogen in to helium in its core .This energy is then became radiation out from the core and moves across the solar system by the mean of light . The solar energy can be converted into electrical energy and produce electricity.

For hundreds of years, people have wanted to harness the suns power for weapons, heating, and many other uses to make their lives more comfortable.

The sun is an inexhaustible power supply. It brings enough energy to our planet every single day to meet a full years worth of energy for everyone on Earth.
And during the past century back to 1891, in fact, when the first solar collector was manufactured in the United States, U.S. industry has developed a variety of products that have proven both reliable and cost-effective in meeting all kinds of energy needs.

Countries producing solar energy

Germany Italy

9785 MW. 4000 MW.

Spain
Japan USA

3386 MW.
2633 MW. 1650 MW.

Solar energy in Pakistan

The summer season is longer than the winter season

in Pakistan and availability of sunlight is 14 to 15 hours in most places and temperature about 40 to 52 .

In view solar energy system will be more successful in Pakistan Than any European country because thankful to Allah we can have more sunlight more than Europe.

solar equipments price

200 watts solar panel equipments. With 25 years warranty for solar panels.

Total system cost $1250+ tax/duty/shipping

$1000+custom clearing fee $347+installation fee $138=$1735+GST$1485=$3220

Advantages
Solar energy is free, it needs no fuel and produce no

waste or pollution .
In sunny countries , solar power can be used where there

is no easy way to get electricity to a remote places.

Useful for low-power appliances .

Disadvantages
Does not work in night . Very expensive to build solar power .

Can be unreliable unless you are in vary sunny

climate .
It is low efficient in cloudy weather.

But to many people, solar power today means just reliable calculators, watches and other simple home products like this lantern that use solar power instead of electricity to charge the batteries.
