Solar Power Systems for your Home

“http://jsamplesjr.com/solar” – The complete solar power system has different components.

Most people implement a few of these components as per their needs.

Lets look at the various solar power components.

Solar cooker: The solar cooker is the most popular solar energy system implemented at homes.

Lets look at its advantages:

Healthy cooking The food cooked using a solar cooker is considered very healthy.

Variety cooking You can boil, roast, and bake using the same system!

No fuel – The solar cooker does not use any other fuel other than the suns light, thus helping you save power.

No emissions – The solar cooker neither emits any gases nor does it leave any residue. It makes for the most environment-friendly cooking system.

Solar generator: The solar generator is a device that runs all your electrical appliances using the solar energy.

The solar generator is also referred to as the solar lighting system.

Solar thermal system: Implementing a solar thermal system or solar heating system at home takes care of your homes temperature needs.

Home Solar Power System | Solar Power For Home

http://www.ForYourGuide.com/ — Home Solar Power Systems

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.

How To Make Solar Power For Homes

http://www.ForYourGuide.com/ — How To Make Solar Power For Homes

The suns energy or the solar energy is the most abundant form of energy available on earth.

The sun is capable of giving us more than heat and light.

The sun has been one of the biggest factors dictating every living beings stay on the earth.

If we go the right path, we can harness more from the solar energy, like generating power for daily use.

What are the advantages of solar power?

Green energy solution: When you look at the solar energy solution, you will realize that it uses absolutely no fuel other than the suns light.

Cheapest power solution: First, the energy comes free. Then, the installation cost is a one-time cost.

Convenience of storage: You cannot store conventional power but you can store solar power for future use.

Low on maintenance: The solar energy systems are easy to maintain.

They do not involve high costs or too much effort, thus letting you reap the benefits of the solution comfortably.

battery backup solar systems — how they work

How a battery backup inverter is wired to the grid, how the backed-up circuits wiring is moved without going into the house, and how the inverter works. Why a charge-controller is needed, and how the MX-60 works. Peak power tracking (PPT) is not explained, but it essentially uses a coil to convert higher voltage from the panels (which would otherwise be wasted, since the batteries always operate at 24 or 48 volts) into extra amperage (current). Usually, e.g., 100 amps in at 80 volts (no-load voltage is 120) is converted into 130 amps at 53 volts.

UL-1741 requires all inverters to “island” if the grid goes down or if the voltage is irregular (happens more often than you might think!).

Battery Backup inverters island, just as grid-tie inverters, but they are able to go to the battery pack for power when the grid is cut off, even when the panels are not producing. These inverters are even “smart” enough to start a diesel genset, if it’s attached; but no need to do so if you have enough batteries to last until the next sunny day.

Rahimafrooz Batteries Ltd, Bangladesh, Solar home systems – Ashden Award winner

This video can be downloaded here: http://www.ashdenawards.org/winners/rahimafrooz Rahimafrooz Batteries won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2006. To find out more visit the link above and check out the Ashden Awards Blog http://ashdenawards.blogspot.com

Rahimafrooz Batteries Ltd has played a leading role in the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development Project (REREDP) – a large scale programme to provide solar home systems (SHS) to rural households in Bangladesh. Rahimafrooz has manufactured and supplied the rechargeable batteries for over 75,000 systems, as well as charge controllers and fluorescent lamps. Rahimafrooz has also exported over 80,000 batteries for PV systems, mostly to Nepal and Bhutan.

Nearly 70% of households in Bangladesh are not connected to the electricity grid and so depend on kerosene for lighting. This includes most rural areas, and also the fringes of Dhaka. There are plans to extend the grid, but there is little prospect of substantial change in the near future. The REREDP, which is funded by the World Bank and GEF and managed by the Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), initially aimed to provide 50,000 systems by the end of 2007, but this has already been increased to 200,000 systems because of the success of the programme, and may be further increased. IDCOL provides Participating Organisations (POs) in the programme with subsidies and concessional loans to purchase PV systems in bulk, and the partners can then provide credit to rural households to buy systems. PV electricity can have a huge impact on people’s lives, providing power for lighting, phone charging, education and entertainment.

One reason for the success of the project is the local availability of components from the manufacturing and development work of Rahimafrooz. The company has applied its considerable expertise in battery manufacture to the production of batteries specifically for PV systems, as well as diversifying into the design of charge controllers and fluorescent lamps for local manufacture. Rahimafrooz has also supplied 25,000 complete SHSs, mostly for IDCOL POs under the REREDP, and has provided training and technical support for these POs. Outside the REREDP, Rahimafrooz has installed 448 kWp of other PV systems.

SELCO India, Affordable solar home systems – Ashden Award winner

This video can be downloaded here: http://www.ashdenawards.org/winners/selco SELCO won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2005. To find out more visit the link above and check out the Ashden Awards Blog http://ashdenawards.blogspot.com

SELCO-India is a private business which has designed and sold over 48,000 solar home systems, powering electric lighting and small appliances for 220,000 people in Karnataka and other states in South India.

Around 46% of households in India do not have mains electricity, and for many others the supply is unreliable. The use of photovoltaic (PV) solar-home-systems (SHS) can provide reliable power for lighting and low-power appliances, which brings great practical benefits. Smoky, dangerous kerosene light is avoided, people have extended hours for work and study, and more opportunities for leisure and entertainment.

Many programmes throughout the world have attempted to improve quality of life using SHS, but often they have not led to long term use and continuing markets. SELCO-India believes that the use of SHS will become widespread only if the system and after-sales service are of high quality, and if people want an SHS enough to pay for it. What they provide is properly designed and installed systems, excellent on-the-spot service and links to organisations which offer appropriate and affordable finance. The Ashden judges were highly impressed with the philosophy and excellent management within SELCO-India: they have built a thriving business by providing poor people with a high quality product and service.
