Say goodbye to high electricity bills

Hi guys i am  conducting research into the concept of solar air conditioning system for this blog, i will examining the price of a conventional system and also the benefit of a solar air conditioning the image below shows a house which has a solar air conditioning system.

1. Save 50% to 100% of electricity bills for life 
2. It protects the environment 
3. It utilize a renewable energy source (sun)
4. In times of a nature disasters it can provide standby power 
5. It can store potential power for weeks via batteries.   

solar lights fixtures

Here are some  light fixtures for around the home which operates with solar they are stylish and also weather proof and excellent in  provide night light while also save electricity.I have also installed those types of light fixtures in my home, they operate very efficiently and provide the necessary light for the home.The light to the left has a built in motion detector ,  solar panel and use LED light and can be place on walls to provide of your home.

Items in the home which consume the largest amount of electricity

Hi guys with the pending increase in electricity rate from the electricity commission, which will be implemented in a couple of months, the cost of operating  appliances  in  home will increasing the following is a list of ever day appliances in the home which consume a large amount of electricity to operate, they are as follows: 

1. Electric iron 
2. Microwave
3. Electric stove
4. Air condition 
5. Curling iron
6. Refrigerator
7. Indoor and outdoor lighting

One of the largest consumer of electricity in the home is the electric iron for it size it utilizes 1500 Watts of electricity  compare to a Microwave 1000 Watts and 9000 BTU Air conditioning which will average 900 Watts of power.For my next blog i will introduce a solar air condition unit and lighting fixtures which operate off solar power.There are small things which an average household can implement to reduce the consumption of electricity. 

 Hi guys  today i will show you how to size  the battery for your photovoltaic system. This aspect is one of  the most important part of the solar system design. the link will demonstrate how to obtain the load capacity of the home also the second image to the right is an example for the blog the link will explain the necessary information  requires  https://youtu.be/iGTTUzN5Jjs .

                                                                                                                                                         

Sizing the major components in a photovoltaics system

Hi Guys  the components below shows the  images of a charge  controller and a invert-er the functions of those device   differ from each other.  while one device regulate the unstable voltage coming from the solar panels the other convert DC to AC.They are consider the heart of a solar system  here is a link that explain the various type of controllers  https://youtu.be/KPZhtGLfGn4 and this link explain the different types of invert-er  https://youtu.be/75NMRgom-6w use in a solar system. my next post would be the sizing the battery bank for the solar system also 

There some  image of  solar panels which was installed at the project, it utilizes  nine  panels  these nine panels generate 2.5 kw of electricity that   will be used to power the invert-er. For this project nine panel was used. 

the panels was connected in parallel which ensure that the voltage remain the same and the current increase the image below shows the solar panels.

The image below shows a schematic diagram of rooftop  PV system  and the sequence  and place of the components. The solar panels are located at the top of the roof its usually place like this in the Caribbean.This is to ensure that the panels are not tempered   with,  when installed  the panel array it is usually place north to south on the roof to capture the sun rotation.

The charge controller regulates the DC voltage from the solar panels and then send a changing voltage to the batteries, the batteries store the electrical voltage and the inverter convert dc voltage to alternating current which can be utilizes in the household. 

Hi guys this a topical single line drawing of a solar system configuration the images below show the installation of a solar panels at  a job in eastern side of the island Trinidad and Tobago. This  link which show how to install solar panels and the various connection  that can be use to ensure that the right choose of  connections are use.
