Solar Energy in Dubai

Solar Energy

Solar energy is the energy which is extracted from the sun’s radiations. Solar cells play a major role in extracting the energy from sunlight they convert this energy into thermal energy. These solar cells are embedded into solar panels and enclosed with a glass panel. Glass panels help trap solar radiation effectively. Some commonly used cells in solar panels are crystalline silicon solar cells, mono crystalline solar cells, poly crystalline solar cells, string ribbon solar cells, thin film solar cells, amorphous silicon solar cells, cadmium telluride solar cells and copper indium gallium selenide solar cells. Another modern form of extracting solar energy is with the use of building integrated photovoltaics this method of extraction is best suited for homes and small offices. Photovoltaic material is attached on roofs, windows and walls of the building to trap the sun rays. This material is similar to solar cells but is more integrated in application and is relatively expensive.

Mono crystalline solar panels are made up of high grade silicone which traps sunlight and converts it into solar energy. Polycrystalline solar panels comprise of a simple design which is reasonably priced. String ribbon solar panels comprise of polycrystalline silicon which is resistant to high temperature they are cheaper than mono crystalline solar panels. Thin film solar cells comprise of several layers of photo voltaic material which consists of amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenide, and organic photovoltaic cells. The combination of these elements makes it the most efficient option for both homes and offices. Solar energy can be used to power wind turbines, heat water and provide backup electricity. Solar energy is environment friendly and doesn’t contribute to noise pollution or emit harmful gasses. Some popular locations to find solar panel retailers in Dubai are Al Nakheel Deira, Damascus Street Al Quasis, Sheik Zayed road, Al Garhoud and Al Burj Street.
