Solar energy is utilized in many forms, it is the centralized energy from which whole universe is running, depending on its galaxy’s’. Here on earth suns’ energy is mandatory for living being, we are harnessing sun energy from dawn of the civilization. Plants used suns’ light for photosynthesis, and from here the beginning of food chain starts.

Sun is main source of energy, utilizing and converting its resources to different form of energy, will lead to improvement of life style of human being, wither it is green house from agriculture to solar water pump, each technical add to harness the sun energy will improve the clean and green energy approach other than conventional approach. Although the conventional form of energy is also due to the energy content of sun and plants residue with a years’ around decomposition which we are utilizing, so the supreme source of universe is the sun.

Sun which is also worshiped as lord in many culture, raise from east with his chariot pulled by seven horses. This not only tell us how our Indian culture is rich in scientific approach with each story. Here seven horses accomplished seven colors’ of light, together the light appears to be white but when separated it will be splitted in VIBGYOR, the one who reflect all appears white, one who absorbs all appears black, similarly the one who reflect particular color and absorbs rest will appear with the same reflected color.

There are many different kinds of solar power plants which are constructed all over the world. They are as follows:

• Photovoltaic solar energy plant
• Solar thermal energy plant
• Solar Powered Pumps & Lights

1. Types of Solar PV Power Station
There are mainly four types of solar power stations.

• Stand Alone or Off Grid type Solar Power Plant
• Grid Tie type Solar Power Plant
• Grid Tie with Power Backup or Grid Interactive type Solar Power Plant
• Grid Fallback type Solar Power Plant.

2. Solar Thermal Technology
There are three main types of concentrating solar thermal power systems:

• Linear concentrating systems
  • Parabolic troughs
  • Linear Fresnel reflectors
• Solar Power Towers
• Solar Dish/Engines

3. Solar Powered Pumps & Lights
