Thanu Solar Systems Private Limited

In their own words

Solar energy, the third-largest renewable energy source after hydropower and wind, has emerged as a clean, sustainable, and powerful alternative to fossil fuels. The sunlight striking the Earth is more than 10,000 times the world’s total energy use, and technologies to harvest as much solar energy as possible are surging rapidly. Since the first commercial silicon (Si) solar panels created by Bell Laboratories in 1954, the most common technologies today use different forms of Si-based solar cells and convert up to 20% of the sunlight to electricity. Crystalline silicon (c-Si) is the most used semiconducting material in solar panels, occupying more than 90% of the global PV market, although the efficiency is significantly under the theoretical limit (~30%). Solar cells made of alternative low-cost and high-efficiency materials are emerging. Second-generation thin-film solar cells are appearing as one of the most promising PV technologies due their narrow design (350 times smaller light-absorbing layers compared to standard Si-panels), light weight, flexibility, and ease of installation. Typically, four types of materials are used in their construction: cadmium-telluride (CdTe), amorphous silicon, copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS), and gallium-arsenide (GaAs). While CdTe has a toxicity concern due to the cadmium, the CIGS solar cells are turning out to be the more promising high-efficiency and economic options for both residential and commercial installations, with efficiency up to 21%. Among the next-generation solar cells, hybrid metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have garnered a great amount of attention due to their low price, thinner design, low-temperature processing, and excellent light absorption properties (good performance under low and diffuse light). PSCs can be flexible, lightweight, and semitransparent. Notably, perovskite thin films can also be printed, leading to scalable high-throughput manufacturing, and a recent roll-to-roll printed PSC has reached 12.2% efficiency, the highest among printed PSCs. TSSPL focus on Rooftop Solar PV Systems for domestic and commercial. We focusing on grid connected solar projects with Engineering, Procurement and construction. We will do Operation and Maintenance of Solar Power Plants.
