The increase in population results the scarcity of land and electricity. The development of lands in rural areas affects the installation of new generating stations. The effective usage of solar energy helps to reduce the demand of electricity in rural areas. The rooftops are used for the generation of solar energy and it is of limited area. In such cases a three layer solar panel arrangement is proposed. It can also used in balconies of apartment to catch solar radiation. By this arrangement, the effective utilization of space can be done. The customized design reduce the cell temperature and shading issues. This arrangement will helps to reduce the space requirement about 30%.
