Your Questions About Solar Energy Generators
Ken asks…
How to built a hand crank generator for a summer appartment?
I have a little house and is used just four or six weeks during the year with a few appliances: TV, frig, DVD, stereo, ceiling fans. I refuse to use fosil energy for prevention, and wind up or solar energy might be stolen.
admin answers:
A hand crank won’t provide very much power. Forget powering your TV or refrigerator.
You may be able to make something work with a 12V generator connected to a stationary bicycle. Use it to charge a battery which will power an inverter to operate your appliances. You’ll be spending plenty of time pedalling, so make sure you have very efficient appliances.
You could supplement battery charging with a small wind charger and photovoltiac panels.
George asks…
why not people use solar energy for their daily need?
I am observing that normally we need electricity for lighting purpose then why not people use solar energy for lighting in each room.
admin answers:
Many people are not using solar energy for their daily need, probably for 3 main reasons:
1. Lack of awareness
2. Cost of installation
3. Breaking off from the grid electricity or Integration to the grid electricity
Until lately, most people are not fully aware of the enormous energy that could be directly tapped from the Sun. It’s still costly to obtain the pvcs for collecting the sun rays to covert to energy and where most areas are connected by grid system, how does a standalone electricity generator blend.
