Solar Panels : Solar panels are an eco-friendly electric generator. Solar panels generate electrical power from the sun by converting sunlight to electricity with no moving parts‚ zero emissions‚ and no maintenance. The solar panel‚ the first component of a electric solar energy system‚ is a collection of individual silicon cells that generate electricity from sunlight. The basic component of a solar panel is solar cell or photovoltaic cell. Solar cell: A solar cell or photovoltaic cell

Works The plastic bottle is filled with only water and bleach. The liquid inside the bottle harnesses the light from the sun‚ capturing and diffracting the light to all parts of the room. It is equivalent to a 55 watt light bulb. [pic] [pic] What ’s the Technology It consists of a 1.5l PET bottle filled with purified water and bleach (10 ml). A special glue is used to bond and seal the bottle to the roof. Adding the bleach to the water makes sure that the water stays clean and transparent without algae

Long‚ long time ago‚ there was once a giant who lived in the plains. He wandered around‚ searching for food‚ when he heard a voice. “Hello?” It caught his attention. This voice wasn’t like any of the giants’ voices–loud‚ deep‚ and husky. This was different. The voice was like music to his ears. He looked around; trying to find where the voice came from‚ but no one seemed to be around. “Hello?” He looked up. It was a female’s voice. It seemed to come from the skies–the kingdom of the gods.

Scope and Limitation This research focuses on the advantages of using an improvised light amplifier or “solar bulb” using three (3) basic household materials: Water‚ Plastic Bottle (preferable a 1.5L bottle)‚ and BLEACH. The researchers aims to determine the application‚ advantages and disadvantages‚ and some other important factors such as the duration of usage‚ cost‚ manner of maintenance‚ and the suitable environment for application. In addition‚ the study also involves minimal field work

Yu-Cheng Lin Department of Electrical Engineering Lunghwa University of Science and Technology Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study and compare three maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms in a photovoltaic simulation system. The Matlab/Simulink is used in this paper to establish a model of photovoltaic system with MPPT function. This system is developed by combining the models of established solar module and DC-DC buck-boost converter with the algorithms of perturbation and observation
