Harnessing Solar Power: A Peasant’s Journey from Darkness to Light

Once a poor farmer without electricity, our peasant overcame struggles through solar power. For three years, he battled with expensive generators, only to discover a simple, cost-effective solar energy solution. Now, with 320 sunny days each year, he enjoys abundant, clean electricity and has transformed his life. This story highlights the benefits of solar energy, addressing common concerns such as installation costs and space requirements. Embrace the future of energy with solar power—reliable, eco-friendly, and increasingly accessible.

  1. Solar Power Steve Smith Vivero de Las Casicas

  2. What • Solar Hot Water • Solar Electricity

  3. ‘O’ Level Physics • Volts • Amps • Watts = Volts * Amps • Frequency • AC • DC • Specific Gravity • Photovoltaic

  4. Once upon a time • There was once a poor, ignorant peasant farmer who wanted to buy a farm

  5. Once upon a time • So, believing the assurances of the government he bought one without mains electricity

  6. Once upon a time • So, believing the assurances of the government he bought one without mains electricity (which just goes to show how stupid and ignorant he was)

  7. Once upon a time • And so for 3 years he got through a series of generators and a lot of money to provide electricity for just a few hours a day (blowing up several washing machines and uncountable light bulbs on the way)

  8. Once upon a time • This made him a very sad, poorer peasant but perhaps a little less ignorant (at least about generators)

  9. Once upon a time • Then one day along came simple, inexpensive, solar power system

  10. Once upon a time • From one day to the next he had a bountiful supply of clean, free, electricity 24 hours a day

  11. Once upon a time • This made our simple peasant very, very happy, eventually a lot less poor, and with every expectation of living happily every after.

  12. Why • 320 days of sunshine per year • Ecologically friendly • Reliable • Clean • ‘Free’ energy • Increasingly cheaper to install • Low maintenance

  13. Why Not? • Building Licence for Panels • ‘High’ cost of installation • ‘High’ cost of upgrade • Space occupied • Noise

  14. Components of a Solar System

  15. Grid Tie System

  16. Hybrid System

  17. Electricity Usage Number of Panels Size of Battery Pack Capacity of Inverter/Charger Location and Aspect of Panels Security Sizing and Installation

  18. Electricity Usage Number of Panels Size of Battery Pack Capacity of Inverter/Charger Location and Aspect of Panels Security 5kw/day 3kw max 8 @ 250v DC 8 @ 6v / 400 amp DC 4kw AC/ 60 amp DC South South East / 37 degrees Sizing and Installation

  19. Back to ‘O’ Level Physics • Volts • Amps • Watts = Volts * Amps • Frequency • AC • DC • Specific Gravity • Photovoltaic

  21. The Future • Better Batteries • Grid Tie Feed-in • More sensitive Panels • More low wattage appliances

  22. Solar Power • Questions?
