How It Works?

ON Grid Solar System

A "Solar Atta Chakki" refers to a flour mill powered by solar energy. Traditional atta chakkis (flour mills) are commonly used in many parts of the world, especially in South Asia, to grind wheat into flour for making chapatis (flatbreads), rotis, and other wheat-based food items.

Integrating solar power into an atta chakki offers several advantages:
  1. Clean Energy:

    Solar power is renewable and clean, producing no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants during operation.

  2. Cost Savings:

    Solar energy can reduce or eliminate electricity costs associated with running the atta chakki, especially in areas where grid electricity is expensive or unreliable.

  3. Off-Grid Operation:

    Solar atta chakkis can operate independently of the electricity grid, making them suitable for rural or off-grid locations where access to electricity may be limited.

  4. Reliability:

    Solar power can provide a reliable source of energy, especially in regions with abundant sunlight.

Here's a step-by-step overview of how it works:
  1. Solar Panels Capture Sunlight: Solar panels, typically mounted on the roof or in an open area with ample sunlight exposure, capture sunlight throughout the day.
  2. Conversion of Sunlight to Electricity: The solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. The amount of electricity generated depends on factors such as the intensity of sunlight, panel orientation, and panel efficiency.
  3. Charge Controller Regulates Charging: The DC electricity generated by the solar panels is sent to a charge controller. The charge controller regulates the voltage and current from the solar panels to ensure that the batteries are charged safely and efficiently. It prevents overcharging of the batteries, which could reduce their lifespan.
  4. Energy Storage in Battery Bank: The electricity produced by the solar panels is stored in a battery bank. This stored energy is crucial for powering the atta chakki when sunlight is not available, such as during the night or on cloudy days.
  5. Inverter Converts DC to AC: When the atta chakki needs power, the DC electricity stored in the battery bank is sent to an inverter. The inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used by most household appliances, including the atta chakki.
  6. Operation of Atta Chakki Machinery: The AC electricity from the inverter powers the motor and other components of the atta chakki machinery. The motor drives the grinding stones or rollers, which crush and grind wheat grains into flour.
  7. Grinding Process: Wheat grains are fed into the atta chakki, where they come into contact with the rotating grinding stones. The grains are crushed between the stones, resulting in the production of flour.
  8. Flour Collection: The freshly ground flour is collected from the atta chakki and can be used for making chapatis, rotis, and other wheat-based food items.
  9. Monitoring and Maintenance: A monitoring system may be in place to track the performance of the solar panels, batteries, and overall energy production. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning the solar panels and checking the battery bank, is essential for optimal operation of the solar atta chakki system.
