The reason why solar panels are expensive is owing to their transportation cost which requires a lot of delicate handling. We have assessed the feasibility of producing solar panels locally in Pakistan and still researching low cost assembly methods. Our aim is to provide 5Kw of energy in 5-6 lac coupled with our "designed for solar" line of home appliances one can expect to run entire lighting, medium fridge, TV and 0.75 ton air conditioner on our 5Kw solar package.
Anyone interested PM me for more details..
Pakistan also ahas a huge potential for geo-thermal energy, which is much better in the long term
the problem with solar energy is that solar panel produces 12 watts dc
and u need to convert it to 220 v ac
and at night u use power from batteries
.
problems are due to these batteries and inverters
.
Who is gonna Implement them, its like "who will tie the Bell in Cat's Neck". I hope projects are implemented this time and relief may be provided to poor people of Pakistan.
I hope GoP will take such steps in Order to Make the wheels of the Country Running Again. I also hope that Zaradari Wont ask for some percentage in order to Implement such Projects.
Solar power is not cost effective for a poor country like Pakistan....Same with wind power...The turbines are usually mounted with Gear box and Generator of their own,and that is the most expensive component.Plus wind power is not constant..Winds blows sometimes and doesn't blow at other times..Sometimes wind is strong and at other times wind is weak..and unlike water,wind cannot be stored.
I was thinking of a rather weird method of power generation by wind....We have coastal mountains in Baluchistana nd Dam can be built there...
We can build large wind turbine farms,and instead of fitting each Turbine with a Generator of it's own,we fit them with water Pump,which is easily available and manufactured in Pakistan.
The wind Turbine turns a water pump and pumps water uphill into the dam..This dam will collect pumped sea water,and then use the potential energy of stored water to generate electricity via one or few large land based Hydel Turbine generators...In effect we are building a seaside dam and storing Seawater instead of River water and the sea water is pumped into the dam by low cosy water pumps driven by Wind Turbines...That way wind power can be stored..When the wind is strong the turbines will pump more water into the dam,which can be used later.
@somebozo,
r u really planning to generate solar enegy through solar farm, i had similar idea. Zaki is right, its not commercially viable though i thought of solar furnace for hydrogen production as well.
