Solar Powered Outdoor Lights
Solar street lights have been available for quite a time now, having originally been designed for use in less developed or isolated areas, or perhaps places where the electricity supply has been disrupted by man-made or natural disasters. The technology guiding the use of solar energy has progressed significantly to enable projects to be feasible throughout the world. The situation now is that street lights powered by solar energy can be simply and rapidly installed, giving the potential of many years of trustworthy use, with a minimum of maintenance required. In these times of heightened environmental awareness, electric street lighting is rightly regarded as an enormous consumer of electricity, at a vast financial and environmental cost. However, because of the road safety and security benefits which result from a good street lighting system, authorities everywhere are keen to implement cost-effective and environmentally friendly lights. Solar street lights can deliver that much-desired outcome and offer an exceptional lighting program whilst, at the same time, producing considerable economic and environmental savings. The most recent developments with regard to the technology behind solar street lighting have been in connection with LEDs. Firstly, these consume far less power than the older type of conventional sodium lamp. In addition, they have a much longer working life, better color definition and require smaller solar components than sodium lamps. It can be appreciated, therefore, that, in order for solar street lights technology to be efficient and cost-effective, a thorough and meticulous assessment has to be carried out, paying the utmost regard to information concerning solar radiation, the amount of sunshine prevalent and general climatic conditions in the relevant area. Benefits: • • • • • • Uses: • • • • Street Lighting Garden Lighting Landscaping Lighting Farm / Ranch Lighting • • • • Perimeter Lighting Side-walk Lighting Campus Lighting Pathway Lighting Access to lights, even in remote areas where electricity in not accessible Off-the-grid Power! Never rely on power companies for your lighting Promotes ecological awareness and responsibility Less wiring required Each lamp is independent from another. No series connection problems. LED lights can last for as long as 15 years!

Solar Powered Water Pumps
Solar-powered water pumps are an effective alternative to conventional gas or electric pumps. Modern pumps are powered by solar energy effectively in the world, including India, where they are often used for irrigation and drinking water. The main advantage of solar pumps is that they work for free. A solar array connected to the pumping mechanism gains all the required power from simple sunshine. This also means that the system independently. There is no need for complicated wiring for the electricity and outside fuel is not needed. The amount of pollution caused by the use of conventional pump has also completely eliminated. This is a big advantage, especially when used for irrigation on the farms where pollution can possible on site damage. Keeping the fossil fuels from the equation for the pumping of water will reduce potential contamination. In addition, the use of solar energy offers many benefits for agriculture, the farmers, for example, a solar pump used in an area of low-lying, which often flooded or to move the water used to feed animals and plants. For any system of water pump, both large and small, the installation of solar systems is one of the easiest and most profitable. No long procedures for determining the wiring of the solar panels, and there is no need for extra fuel. Solar powered pumps generally fall into two categories. They are either surface pumps or submersible pumps. Surface pumps move water from one place to another and some are capable of high pressure while others are intended for moving large volumes of water at low pressure. Submersible solar powered water pumps are usually used for pumping water from wells, and are designed to be installed inside the well casing in a drilled opening. Benefits: • • • Ideas: • • • • Add a filtration system for drinking water Free source of water for Water Distillery Business Water source for swimming pools, fountains, etc Water source for irrigation for farms Free to use! Access to water for isolated areas More efficient than manual pumps

Portable Solar Power Generators:
Portable Solar Generators can be conveniently housed inside a trailer body that comes complete with wheels for ease of transportation. The solar panels are constructed outside of the trailer and its position can be controlled depending on the level of sunlight. On the other hand, the large battery banks can be placed inside the trailer, secured. The solar panels then trap solar energy and store it in the battery banks through a charge controller. Using an stored in the battery banks are converted into AC.

electricity

The advantage of the set-up is that when power is not needed, it would simply be stored in the battery banks. At night, even without sunlight, power stored in the battery banks can be used that could last for a couple of hours. Portable Solar Generators can provide portable power source to remote areas in provinces. The solar generators owe their appeal to low maintenance. The only maintenance required for them is maintenance of battery banks and solar panels. The battery banks are maintained with an occasional re-filling of distilled water. Battery banks can last a long time as long as it is kept working in pristine order through proper maintenance. The solar panels are the ones, which harness the solar energy from the sun so they must be kept clean and dust or grime-free all the time. Other than these two, the solar generators basically run on its own with the automatic harnessing and storing of solar energy from the sun. With such a low maintenance required keeping the solar generator running, it would definitely make it one of the best, if not the very best alternative source of energy. Benefits: • • • • Maximum power in minimum time. The solar generator can be set up in just a few minutes. It will run both AC & DC appliances, anywhere… anytime. Back up power when you need it most - It’s called a “solar backup” because it’s designed to come to your rescue when power trouble starts and your lights go out. Portable Power - If the going ever gets too tough where you are, you simply throw it in the car and take off to a safer destination. Replaces gas generators - No noise, no fumes, no maintenance and most importantly… no fuel required. Simply roll it to whatever location needs the power and start plugging in appliances. Generates permanent power - The unit stores power and makes it available when you need it. The generator is recharged constantly by the sun allowing you to use the system and charging it at the same time. Many users choose to keep appliances plugged in permanently to reduce electrical costs and help pay for the unit. Plug and play means instant power - The emergency backup system comes ready to go. Just start plugging in your favorite household essentials. Emergency Power – This means you have access to power during power outages, or even during sudden disasters like floods or earthquakes.

Solar Powered Water Heaters
Solar water heating systems use absorber panels to harvest the sun’s energy. These absorber panels are in many cases installed on the roof of your home or garage. As the sun shines on the absorber panels, water is heated in tubes located in close proximity to the panel system or in a storage unit connected to a conventional water heater. Solar water heating systems give in many cases allow homeowners use the solar source as their main system and the conventional system as their backup. Optimally placed absorber panels, with conventional methods as a backup will yield you many years of use and dramatically lower energy costs all while lowering your carbon footprint and contributing to a greener world.

Benefits: • • • Ideas: • • Heated Pools. Warm water for hotels and common areas. Operates free! Access to warm water. Low investment.
