Abstract

World is passing through a great crisis of energy and it is the chief contributor of development.

Among the renewable energy sources, solar energy the gift of the nature it is thinly spread dilate and intermediate form of energy. There are two principal form of the direct conversion of solar energy thermal and photovoltaic.

The performance of a solar energy system depends on the solar energy available at that site from morning to evening and its variation from day to day time. To solve this purpose in North Bihar region we have done this project.
