Would it be better kung windmill nalang?

Update ko lang ito. My project went on the back shelf again. Pinuntahan naman talaga ako nung taga Benpres yata yun (?) na kausap ko. Tama naman lahat ng calculation -- kaya lang, I found out na yung stated output nung solar panel ay hindi pala sustained! Siguro kaya madalas ma-brownout yung mga iba diyan.

Apparently, ang stated output ng mga panels ay parang yung sa speakers dati -- nakalagay mataas pero peak lang pala ito -- parang PMPO ng speakers. Ang sustained output ay parang 20-30% lang nung stated output.

Dahil doon, hindi naging feasible ang project. Sabi ko titignan ko na lang uli in about 5 years.

For the meantime, we replaced all bulbs with CFLs, replaced all old fluorescent lights with electronic ballasts, installed "kisame" on all AC rooms, made sure no AC's are underpowered, and made a point to assess all appliances 5 years old or older pag nasisira kung worth it pa ipagawa o palitan na lang ng more energy efficient ones -- ayos naman medyo malaki din natipid.

I was hoping for more pero siguro for next year na yun.

By the bye... just a reminder.

When your CFLs wear out, be sure to bring them to a recycler... they contain mercury, just like regular flourescents, and shouldn't be disposed of or broken up in the regular trash, as that'll contaminate the ground water in your area...

OOh. Good tip. Sana nabebenta din yung used bulbs and fluorescents. I'm sure our ilokana maid will collect them.

Saan at kanino makakabili niyan? I'm planning to have one kasi.. masyadong mahal na ang kuryente ngayon, mabuti na medyo makakatipid.

got a set of 100 watts solar power kit from them last month. It works really great. yeah mas mura nga sa kanila, bilis pang kausap. Sa santolan sila, same street ng cmap crame
