Solar power can be used in our everyday lives by adopting the following solar power systems:
Solar cooking system: Solar cooking is about cooking without lighting a fire or using electricity!
Before you wonder, let me tell you that solar cooking is not about bland food.
You can cook in more ways than one boil, roast, or bake, cook the way you want!
The only demand that solar cooking makes of you is being patient; it is a matter of more than a few minutes.
However, it is not asking for too much given that you will get tasteful and healthy food without worrying about paying your gas or electricity bill.
Solar lighting system: You can now light, use every electrical appliance without thinking about cutting down bills.
The solar lighting system lights up your house even in the nights, thanks to the power storage feature it has.
Solar heating system: You can keep your house cozy and warm using the solar heating system without worrying about costs.

Greenhouse and solar power
I finished the greenhouse today. The greenhouse is made from mostly recycled materials. I used discarded sliding patio doors for the glass, a screen door from Freecycle.com, 4″ stone floor, concrete patio planters for containers. The soil is 100% organic and my hopes are to provide at least a salad a day for the rest of my life, organic of course. The music playing is Wayana (sp?) on a rummage sale CD player that’s running off of the sun through 3 solar panels into a car battery, then through an inverter. It’s the first day for the solar panels. If I used an Ipod, I could power 50 -100 of them with what the old CD player is using. That would leave lots of electricity to power a laptop, the router, cable modem and printer and 12 volt florescent lights. Even the batteries in the digital camera can be recharged by using the solar panels. I’ve just discovered LED flashlights with batteries also rechargable off of the sun.

If I installed 20, 100 watt solar panels and 20 12v batteries for power storage?
how much of my power needs would this generate? This system would be not be tied to the grid unless there’s a benefit. We use about 600kw monthly and receive 5.5 hours of sun light daily. Thank you for any help. Chris
Location, weather, shading, and de-rating would be factors, but a rough estimate would be about 230 kWh per month, or just over 35% of your usage. There are benefits to being tied to the grid, but it really depends on what your motivations are for doing solar. Contact me at the E-mail below if you would like a detailed list of pros and cons.
Be advised you will also need racking, a charge controller, a combiner box, an inverter, fuses, disconnects, switchgear, and properly-sized wiring. Please do not try to do this project alone unless you are comfortable and familiar with these items.

With the world faced with a severe energy crisis, it is wise to invest in an alternate power solution at home. It not only helps the government fight energy crisis in a better way.But also helps save power for the rest of the world. Among the alternate power solutions, the solar power system and the wind power system are the most popular being less cumbersome. For implementing a wind power system, we need a large area and the average wind speed in the area should be 11 miles per hour.
In comparison, the solar power system is easier to implement. All you need is abundant sun light.

Yaesu FT-817 Solar Powered Go-Pack: Battery test – Part 2
After discharging the battery I setup the Solar Powered Go-Pack outside on a lovely sunny day. The aim here is to see how long the 12 Watt PV takes to recharge the battery. In a previous test I used a 50 Watt PV and it took 3 hours to reach about 90% charge and 4 hours to reach full charge. The Watts Up meter showed it had replaced just over 7Ah of charge which seems fairly accurate.
I’ll post the results of the 12 Watt PV in part 3.
