How can solar power fuel an entire house with electricity. Is it safe for gadgets?
Power produced through solar energy is no different to the power obtained from the grid if proper equipment are used. Based on current experience of the grid supply, we can say that solar power is of better quality and stable compared to the grid. One need to put sufficient number of PV panels and battery back up to meet all the requirements of a house. For e.g., if average daily consumption of power is say, 3 units, one may put generating capacity of 4.5 units in six hours (sunlight hours), i.e, 10 panels of 75 watts each. The battery capacity should be 450AH at12volts (150AH x 3batteries) with a sine wave invertor. To improve overall efficiency, one may put 12 v DC lamps for lighting besides solar heaters for hot water and use AC power through invertor only for motor applications such as fridge, fan, washing machine etc. How long can solar power give electricity? As long as the Sun is there and as far as the system is designed, for .e.g. if 3 units are the daily average consumption,
