---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract- The crises of energy has been increased over the years due to increasing world population and expansion of ecumenical industries especially for victuals and rudimentary requisites. Most of the energy is consumed in power generation, industries & factories, conveyance, and community sectors. Moreover, in order to consummate our injuctive authorization we are mostly dependent on energy, taken from fossil oil, gas and coal. In developing countries like India, more than 70 percentage of the population lives in the rural areas where more than 85 percentage of the energy being consumed emanates from non-conventional sources, the major one being fuel wood. The incrementing cost of conventional fuel in urban areas necessitates the exploration of other energy sources. solar energy provides an alternate source of energy in rural and urban India as a supersession for fossil fuels. We can get the solar energy from sun; the sun is a major source of solar energy.

1. INTRODUCTION With growing concerns about the damages to the environment caused by burning fossil fuels, and due to ever incrementing oil demand, recently there have been numerous endeavors to ascertain an energy source which can accommodate as an alternate energy for fossil fuel. Harnessing solar energy holds great promise for the world's energy demands, and it will be heavily called upon as fossil fuels are depleted. Photovoltaic solar cells (PV) are habituated to convert some part of solar energy to electricity and they are the best culls for utilizing solar energy. Recently, renewable energy systems have undergone rapid developments around the world, and certain renewable energy industries, such as solar and wind, have procured annual magnification rates of 20 percent or more. Renewable energy is a consequential alternative source of energy that promotes sustainable development in energy sector. Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology is the most prevalent Š 2017, IRJET

renewable energy option for clean energy generation. In this paper a canal top solar system is studied with plane reflectors for the concentration of the sunlight. the main parameters affecting the PV performance is irradiation, temperature and shading which is optimized. Additional cooling is not required due to the presence of water in the canal which condenses to give a cooling effect. The evaporation loss of water may further reduce and an additional solar radiation falls on the panel by the utilization of reflector. 2. SOLAR POWER PLANT Solar energy is generated by sun created through a thermonuclear process and this process produce heat and electromagnetic radiations. These electromagnetic radiations have the energy that reaches the earth. As solar energy is an indirect source of energy, we require two components: one the collector and other the storage unit. The collector will collect the radiations emanating from the sun and convert it in the form of electrical energy. On the other hand we require storage unit since the radiations keeps varying throughout the day and during night hours there will be no radiations. There are three types of collectors like flat-plate collectors, Focusing collectors and Passive collectors. Most of the time we utilize flat- plate panel which is a union of array of solar cells arranged in a simple plane. The efficiency of these panels depends upon the size of panel, intensity of radiations and the cleanness of the panel. A solar cell or PV cell converts solar energy into Electrical energy by the photo voltaic effect. When the sunlight is incident upon a material surface, the electrons present in the valence band absorb energy and, being exhilarated jump to the conduction band and become free. These highly exhilarated, non-thermal electrons diffuse, and some reach a junction where they are expedited into a different material by a built-in potential (Galvani potential).
