The core component of a solar atta chakki is the grinding mechanism, which typically consists of two stone wheels or plates that grind grains into flour. These grinding components are designed to be efficient and durable to ensure the production of high-quality flour.
Solar panels are installed nearby to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. These panels consist of photovoltaic cells that generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight.
In some solar atta chakki systems, a battery storage unit may be included to store excess electricity generated during sunny days. This stored energy can be used during cloudy or nighttime conditions to power the chakki continuously.
A controller regulates the power from the solar panels and ensures it matches the requirements of the atta chakki. An inverter may be used to convert DC electricity into the alternating current (AC) needed for the grinding mechanism.
Grains are loaded into a hopper, which feeds them into the grinding mechanism. The feed rate can be adjusted to control the fineness of the flour produced.
The ground flour is collected in a container or bag for further use. The quality of the flour depends on the type of grains used and the settings of the grinding mechanism.
