RE: Solar Power as an Alternative Source of Power in Africa (Some Pictures of a Friend's Installation Which he did this Past Weekend)

in #technology7 years ago

Ok. It currently powers his 130w fridge, 100w 52" LED TV, eight 10w low energy bulbs. He uses four ceiling fans rated at 80w each (though doesn't run all at same time, only does at peak sun irradiance). He turns off the fridge after 3PM to conserve battery. Plus little electric gadgets like blender, chargers, laptops, etc.

Once you are running on solar power you try your utmost best to be energy frugal. You do not go about powering energy hungry electric gadgets like electric iron, electric cookers, and other inductive electric loads.
