Solar Energy In The Philippines: An Alternative Power Source For Small Towns And Far Flung Areas
Alarming reports regarding the dwindling power supply this summer and the expected round of brownouts in Luzon have filled the news on television and in newspapers. Just imagine how difficult life would be for urban dwellers who were used to using electrical appliances all their lives!
Fortunately, there are alternative sources of electricity that do not rely on the power of water, geothermal heat or the burning of fuel. Filipinos can get electricity from the undying source of light and heat itself: the sun. Through solar energy in the Philippines, Filipinos can gather power to run their lights and appliances at night, thus saving up on the electric bills.
Although the first few solar energy devices are for industrial use and are often huge to accommodate provision of electricity to large areas, modern solar energy devices for personal use and can easily be set up at home are now available. A home solar kit is a compact stand-alone system that includes a laptop-sized solar panel and a battery. A charge controller determines whether the battery is full or not, which automatically cuts off charging to avoid an explosion or another untoward accident.
Aside from using the kit as a source of power, it also has a LED lamp that provides light and a built-in AM/FM radio that provides news and entertainment for the people. The makers of the home solar kit recognize the possibility that far-flung areas that do not usually have a power supply may not have TVs in some homes. The radio may be the only source of information and entertainment for most of the residents.
