FIGURE 1 RURAL ELECTRICITY/WATER HEATING SYSTEM

PROPRIETARY DESIGN DATA



RURAL COMBINED ELECTRICITY/ DOMESTIC WATER HEATING SYSTEM

As is shown in Figure 1 above, a single 1 X 2 meter2 panel combines photoelectric electrical energy generation with domestic hot water preheating.

The Sunpreme panel, shown in Figure 2, when backed with a reflective film generates 380 watts in full sun at its rated temperature of 25°C. If it were mounted in the conventional way using racks, it would heat up to 45°C reducing its electrical output by 15%. But by cooling it with water beginning at sunrise, when the water is at 10°C, the average panel temperature will be only 27.5°C. At sunset, the water temperature will be at or above 45°C, suitable for washing or pre-heated for cooking.

The 50 volt output of the panel is reduced by a voltage regulator to 14 volts and can be used to charge a standard 12 volt battery to provide light, and/or radio-TV after sunset. Water can be circulated through the rubber tube strips without a pump by mounting a small water tank above the panel so that the heated water circulates by gravity-thermo-syphonation.

The price of this system is broken down as follows:

1 x 2 meter2 hybrid PV/SOLAR THERMAL PANEL $895-

12 VOLT DC. PUMP $150-

SOLAR PANEL-12 VOLT BATTERY VOLTAGE REGULATOR $150-
