Use a solar power generator for lighting your home


A solar power generator is the generator which produces electricity harnessing the power of sunlight.

Though many of you might have heard the term ‘generator’ in ‘general’, yet you might not be conversant with what a generator actually does. A generator is like your back up storage of electricity. Whenever there is electric fault and your house or your office faces a ‘load-shedding’ your generator will provide you the light.

When there is electricity otherwise, all you need to do is charge your solar power generator battery just like your phone battery, and whenever you are struck with darkness, a click of a switch and you home will be shining with light like.


Unlike a candle, the solar power generator will not just light a certain area of your room or office cabinet, but instead light up your electric lighting equipments themselves!

Yes the bulbs and the lights will take the electricity from the generator and light themselves up, if you want to understand it in a funny but easier way.

How does a solar power generator work?

A solar powered generator works like any other normal generator, except for the fact that it saves your fuel cost and indirectly saves renewable energy cost too.

A solar powered generator comes with a battery, which needs to be pre charged. In absence of electricity the solar power generator can be use to light up not only lamps and bulbs, but also home appliances like television, fridge or even air conditioning at offices.

However, more the appliances you want to run, more the power of the battery in terms of watts. For example if you want a solar power generator for your home, then one with 1250 -1400 hundred Watts power will be enough to keep your fridge and heater running in case of any electric default.

But if you need a solar power generator for your office, then either you can use multiple solar power generators, or buy one single generator which can provide you with enough light for at least the next 4-5 hours conveniently.

Why solar power generators?

Now you might be asking the most important question why choose a solar power generator over a normal one?

Well the first most important answer to this question is that a solar power generator uses solar power instead of fuel power to charge itself i.e. a solar power generator saves your cost of diesel or even petrol at times, which is used to run the generator itself, or rather it battery.


The solar power generator unlike most generators does not produce that irritating vibrating unwanted surround sound, disturbing everybody else living around you with its sound.
The solar power generator uses the sunlight to charge its battery. This is done by solar panels varying in different size built within the generator, which when exposed to sunlight capture the same and change it to energy by the normal solar power system method.

Therefore if you want to buy a cost friendly and ecofriendly generator, then a solar power generator is the one for you.

Solar powered cars – the eco friendly new generation

If you thought that solar power is limited to running electric appliances in your home only, then you are in for a surprise. Solar power system is now used to run not only generators and turbines, but also cars!

Yes you read it absolutely right. There are solar powered cars which run on the same concept as any other solar powered appliance. Solar powered cars also known as solar powered vehicles which run on electricity generated by photovoltaic cells installed within the car mechanics.


The idea was first limited to using solar power to run air conditioning or heaters of your car, but with the advance of technology and the degrading rate of renewable fuels, car designers have come up with this brilliant idea of solar powered cars which use the sunlight instead of petrol or diesel to run themselves.

Know the pros and cons of solar powered cars

Pros:
Solar powered cars use renewable resource which will never fall short i.e. the solar power.
• Solar powered cars are going to be the most eco friendly car, as there will be no pollution and hence are also known as the future ‘eco friendly’ or ‘environment friendly cars’.

Cons:
If a solar powered car runs entirely on solar power then the car has to be in the presence of sunlight all the time. It is almost like running a mobile on charge.
• The solar powered batteries so designed till date, are not yet modified technologically enough to provide solar powered cars. A large battery to run an entire car on solar power is still a design and plan in the process.

Know more about solar powered cars

If you are a sucker for automobiles and keep up with the trend of the latest automobile related technologies and designs, then you ought to know about solar powered cars.

However you should also know that the technology is pretty new in the market and therefore solar powered vehicles, as in cars are just more in design and automobile magazines, and haven’t taken over the market yet.
The reason behind so is that, technology needs to upgrade and prepare itself with problems such as running such cars in areas where the sun might not be too keen to show up itself.

Also solar power generators for running such cars are to be highly modified to not only fir the car design, but also the consumption of energy for the same. Solar cars are mainly built for racing games, and are specialized to propel such automobiles using solar energy along with normal fuel.


As of now the most modern solar powered car also uses the maximum solar energy that the photovoltaic cells on the surface of such a car can use to convert the same into electricity and depending on the same, the mileage of running such a car is not enough.

Therefore such cars are like the new age future cars, which are in the process to get updated and modified before the world runs out of non-renewable sources of energy, petrol and diesel to name a few counted amongst fuels to propel a car engine to run a car.
