Abstract
Electronic circuits are now commonly used and the need for power in the future will increase. Solar energy may be considered as substitute for conventional energy resources because of its renewability nature. But the earth receives only 1/100th of complete solar power. There are numerous satellites in space aimed at serving many applications on earth. A Satellite with a particular application for producing power from sun based radiation is proposed, which is utilized to communicate the put away energy to the ground station as microwaves (RF signal). These satellites are set in LEO/MEO so the sun ori ented boards of satellite are towards the sun most piece of the day and harvests sun based energy. The Solar boards in the satellite gathers heat energy and changes to DC force and stores in a battery save. This DC power from the battery save is changed to RF energy of required recurrence utilizing a gadget called Magnetron and the changed over power is sent to earth station recieving wire, which is coupled to rectifier circuits that are masterminded as exhibit. Rectifier converts received power (RF) to ener gy (DC) that is stored in battery. The motive behind the proposed solar powered satellites is to get completely through environmental pollution which is because of the emission of harmful gases from thermal power plants. The proposed work also provides sol ution for global warming and easy energy generation using natural resource (Solar Energy).
