You want to power your 18000 BTU Samsung aircon with solar electricity?
Forget it, these devices need a lot more of power to start their
engines than you can produce by photovoltaik at a reasonable
price.
So
what can you do with your "clean energy"?
You can power so called "low consumption electronic devices".
This includes:
TV sets, DVD players, fridges and freezer, ceiling fans, energy
saving lamps and solar pumps. See examples in "our products"!
As
you want to use your power after dark, you have to store your
clean energy in a battery. To prevent an overload on sunny days
or while you dont stay home for a while you need a charge controller
between your solar panels and your batteries. That's the same
like in your car, where the battery is loaded by a charge controller
as well.
A
solar panel is a worldwide product! Check out
in ebay, solar panels are common (not yet in Thailand!) and
actually the demands overtakes the supply.
Nevertheless before you buy you better check the guarantee and
the certificates!
We deliver solar panels from SUNTECH
Asia in China. This company is specialized in producing
solar panels of excellent quality and holds all international
quality certifications for its products. Our partner has regular
and institutionalized contacts. Furthermore our partner Sunlabob
is the sales agency for SUNTECH for whole south east Asia. We
give 25 years of warranty.
The
battery is the tricky part! Why?
A car battery must provide a lot of power in a very short time
- when you start the engine - while when you drive your battery
is uploaded in a short period.
A car battery is a "starter battery" and will fail
after 50-100 deep cycles, while it may last for thousands of
starting uses with only 2-5 % of discharge.
A solar battery must be designed to be discharged up to 80 %
from time to time. Therefor a car battery is the worst choice
you can make.
After many experiments our partner has finally found the suitable
supplier for solar batteries for the Solar Home Systems: We
use only maintenance free gel batteries from HAZE
Battery Company, utilizing the latest technologies. Of course
they are CE- and ISO-certificated. Because we are relying on
their quality we give 4 years of guarantee.
While
the solar panel (1) is your energy provider and the battery
(2) is your storage unit, the charge controller
(3) is the manager of your home system:
The charge controller prevents that your battery will be overcharged
(and die!) and he shuts the power connection of your devices
before the battery is empty. Furthermore it prevents that idle
current can flow backwards from the battery to the panels. This
means the charge controller is connecting your panels, your
battery and your DC devices (4).
You
want to supply some AC powered devices like TV set, radio, small
fridge or others (6)? Then you need an inverter
(5) to transform the DC power from the battery to AC power.
Our DC lamps, charge controllers and inverters are made
in Germany by STECA
and by PHOCOS
and TUV-certificated. We give 8.000 hours for the lamps,
3 years (inverter) and 4 years (controller) of warranty.
