All the CEOs and top executives of world-famous companies like Facebook, Nissan, Boeing, Amazon, and Microsoft come from engineering backgrounds. This portrays that engineers have something special that makes them great leaders. Check-out these five steps that an engineer into a successful leader.

1. Flaunt your Success: Getting positive feedback is a sign of success, which needs to be communicated to seniors so they can remember your efforts in the transform’s success.
2. Share your goals and aspirations: Share your future expectations with your seniors so that they can help.
3. Having 100% confidence: Dive in confidently into the attitude of a leader even before the role is attained; it will exhibit your leadership skills in front of everyone.
4. Make Connections: Have a healthy relationship with colleagues; it promotes friendship and helps in career growth.
5. Always be ready to take risks: Always experiment and take up new challenges; it will help you be a good leader.

Introduction:

Solar Energy is one of the inexhaustible sources of energy that comes with a plethora of benefits. Since India is blessed with a copious amount of sunlight,  that could be converted into electrical power by using the latest solar power conversion techniques like using different Solar power panels that enthrall solar energy and transform it into electricity by the photovoltaic (PV) effect. Such energy is also used in electric vehicles. The photovoltaic cells available in the solar panels alters the energy of the sun which is directly used by the electric vehicle.

Solar Panels in Electric Vehicles:

EV Charging Systems and Solar Panels

EV vehicles can be charged by the charge stations powerd by solar panels. There are a lot of advantages of connecting an EV charging system with the solar system, including gas savings, reduction of harmful CO2 emissions, and charging the EV for less.

Installation of a solar panel system for charging electric cars requires to combine the set up with the solar inverters. In order to operate the devices, the energy generated by the solar panels has to be converted from DC (direct current) to AC (alternating current). Similarly fuelling of the EV with solar power also follow the same conversion pattern, wherein the PV cells and silicon semiconductors in the cells absorb it and then transform it into electric energy by the PV effect. This DC power stored in the battery is then transferred to the inverter, which changes it into AC power.  This AC power can now be transferred to homes (V2H) to operate the electrical home appliances as well

.

Cost of installing a Solar Panel:

There are two types of Solar panel systems whose value is directly correlated to its size and kind.  Both of which are mentioned below along with their respective prices:

1. Off-Grid panel System:

A 1 kW off-grid system generating 4-5 units of electric power costs between Rs 1 lakh to 1.25 lakh

• Grid-Connected Panel System:

A Grid-connected panel System ranges between Rs 75,000 and Rs 90,000.
