Components:

1. Solar Panels (Photovoltaic Cells):

   • High-efficiency monocrystalline or polycrystalline solar panels.
   • Mounted on rooftops, ground, or solar farms.

2. Inverters:

   • Convert direct current (DC) generated by solar panels to alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses.
   • Grid-tied, off-grid, or hybrid inverters depending on the project requirements.

3. Mounting Systems:

   • Fixed-tilt or tracking systems that adjust panel angles to follow the sun’s movement, maximizing energy capture.
   • Durable and weather-resistant materials to ensure longevity.

4. Battery Storage (if applicable):

   • Lithium-ion or other advanced battery technologies to store excess energy.
   • Ensures a continuous power supply during non-sunny periods.

5. Monitoring and Control Systems:

   • Real-time monitoring for performance analysis and maintenance.
   • Automated control systems to optimize energy production and distribution.

Implementation Phases:

1. Feasibility Study:

   • Assess solar potential, financial viability, and environmental impact.
   • Conduct site surveys and gather data on sunlight exposure and local weather patterns.

2. Design and Planning:
