So the renewable energy sources are used extensively to harness energy from natural sources like solar and wind. Much attention is given to harnessing of solar energy as wind energy is mostly available in coastal regions. The growth and development in solar PV technology is increasing rapidly due to technological improvement, cost reductions in materials and government support for renewable energy based electricity production. The solar panels are installed near the buildings to harness energy from the sun. There are several types of solar panels available. This paper introduces theamorphous thin film flexible PV. A performance analysis is done on the panel calculating its efficiency.

However the available measuring instruments for PAR is generally costly as compared to the lux meter and not easily available at all places. This paper is an attempt to establish a relationship between the PAR measurement and the luminous intensity measurement obtained using lux meter. Similarly a relation between PAR and the irradiance is established. A 3-Dimensional representation of the relation between the photon value, lumens and irradiance is also obtained. It also includes a report and graphical representation and analysis produced using the Sigmaplot software. The future development possible is also included.

For this, suitable environment is created inside greenhouse for plants to grow. The parameters like light intensity, moisture, humidity etc. should be maintained accordingly. This paper deals with automation of the greenhouse so that the manpower should be reduced and better efficiency is obtained. The microcontroller and sensors are calibrated according to the plants requirement so that there should be suitable environment inside greenhouse even though the outside conditions are worse. The use of transparent PV make it more ecofriendly and grid independent.

There are several new technologies came into existence. One such is transparent PV panel. The transparent PV panel helps in harnessing both solar energy and daylight that will not only generate electricity but also reduce consumption during peak load. In this paper the performance analysis has been done on transparent PV to calculate the efficiency of the transparent PV panel so as to determine how better is the working of the transparent PV as a rooftop panel.
