Dear Diary: Father Sets Solar-Powered Electric Fan And LED Bulb In My Room

A couple of weeks ago my brother out of the blue had set up a solar-power system into our home. It is a system with one lead-acid battery and one solar panel and is good enough to power one electric fan in the day and basically unlimited light from an LED bulb which is only not more than 2 watts in its consumption.

You can see that there is a wall fan up there at the foot of my bed which is actually a 12-volt fan converted from being 220-volt electric-powered fan. But the LED bulb that I use here is very dim compared to my 220-volt electric powered LED bulb but it is a free power from the sun so at least the dimmer bulb gives an ample source of light, not my preference but it will do.

In the future I hope to upgrade this solar-powered system so that we could save some money from consuming expensive electricity. Being off-grid, meaning not using any electricity from the provider is the goal but I have to focus first on my medical needs and also hope that Cryptocurrency prices goes up so I can soon be able to achieve some of my goals.

In Nigeria, there are companies that provide such a package , a monthly billed service of solar inverter installed to power up electronics, this part of the world is also backward in renewable source of energy and it is quite expensive to have one. I hope your serves you well because I have an experience with one installed in a hotel I once worked in, it worked below it's expected output. Have a great time having that fan blowing on you.

You are lucky to have a father like him :)
He loves you alot.

Perhabs, your brother does not have so much experience in electrical issues. Like you, I also want to goes up cryptocurrency price. If I have ability to help you I will send you the total amount what you need. But, I hope God is with you, he might solve your problems.

Hey, cryptopie this is great post.....thanks for sharing...
Have a good day..

that is a very wise decision by our father. Harnessing the energy from the sun is a very efficient way to save money.

now you no need for tension electricity, its really good for you. thanks your father from me.

Nice, even going a bit greener when we can helps the environment. My friend set up these two wind "turbines" that powered his LEDs. Even though it's not much its making use of energy that is otherwise wasted. I believe that all tall buildings should have solar panels on them. It's the proper thing to do.

I think if you can support your brother work, it will help alot. Because this solar power is going to save people from expensive electricity bill ..

The solar power is good because it is more economical and devoid of environmental pollution and at the same time do not contribute to global warming which is a major threat to humanity this day unlike using generator and other source of electricities. Solar energy is one of the new thing NASA associationrequire of us to use , thanks for using it and contributing to make our home safer
