Meron ba kayong alam tungkol sa setup ng solar power para sa bahay? o baka may kakilala kayo na may experience dito? Sulit kaya? May mga nagbebenta sa internet pero sa US pa.

a friend of mine once showed me a newspaper ad re solar panels for sale...this was 1-2 years ago pa. can't remember any other details.

fyi, SunPower Phils is manufacturing solar cell panels for export.

meron nafeature dati, a house powered by solar panels. mga madre yata may ari nung bahay and sila kinuha test case. High maintenance yata solar panels dahil sa you have to keep the solar panels clean... kalaban mo bird poopoo and pollution. hihina power generation pag nabablock ang sunlight ..and of course, wala kang kuryente pag tag-ulan. Kailangan mo yata ng backup batteries para makastore ka ng kuryente pag walang araw. can't remember all the details but those are the ones I recall.

mas ok pa yata ang windmills for electric generation.

kami po may gamit na solar powered na heater ng tank ng tubig..

bale ang heater po mismo eh solar.. for continuous heating of the water, nakakastore din siya ng energy for 4 days ata if hindi umaraw ng 4 days..pero sabi ng kapatid ko by that time parang warm nalang daw ang tubig sa loob ng tank

may tank siya and solar panel..

typical solar power system for home use:

-solar panels
-storage battery (low maintenance lead acid batteries)
-inverter & charger
-power controller (switch between solar & grid)

Check out True Value (Rockwell) - saw solar power panels there - mobile, portable and boat/yatch models. They display a battery connected to it, am not sure about the inverter. Maybe some model can be used at home.

We had been contemplating on testing one of those, maybe when we have some extra dough and time to set it up.

mahal ba set-up ng ganyan?

ang taas na kasi ng singil ng meralco. kahit ako, kung magkakaroon ako ng bahay, gusto ko may alternative power ako. hehehe
