With the power of the sun: Solar panels at use, in Ajmer

From the archive record

A solar panel set-up in a household on the Kota Cross Road near Ajmer. Set-ups like these can be a effective solution to power generation in areas like these with sufficient sunlight but no guaranteed rainfall or riverflow. A solar panel is a set of solar photovoltaic modules electrically connected and mounted on a supporting structure. A photovoltaic module is a packaged, connected assembly of photovoltaic cells. The solar module can be used as a component of a larger photovoltaic system to generate and supply electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions (STC), and typically ranges from 100 to 320 watts.
