Harnessing Solar Energy for Every Home : Energy Saving Applications

Abstract EN

Most of the present day resources of energy are limited and irreplaceable.

The next generation will face acute energy crisis if alternate resources of energy are not developed concurrently.

Increasing cost and import of conventional resources have bad effect on the economy of a country, and the only cheaper solution is “unlimited power” from the sun.

The use of solar energy is so far limited in household applications.

In fact, if we harness only 0.0034 percent of the solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface, the energy need of the whole world will be met.

In the present work, a substitute of 10-watt conventional night lamp has been proposed by a solar night lamp of the same light intensity through an experimental setup.

The developed solar system is cheaper, portable, user friendly, and free from maintenance.

The paper stresses on the need of replacement of conventional night lamp by solar night lamp in every home for reducing the energy crisis at present.
