Welcome, to One Sun Power Blog
Welcome to One Sun Power blog website. This is part of a alternative energy project on development by undergraduate electrical engineering student German Armando Rios. The main project website can be found at www.onesunpower.com
Currently as May 10, 2006, the website is under massive construction, so you will see little content for the moment. But you are welcome to visit and please, leave your feedback on what you think of the idea of the website.
Soon I will post the preliminary outlook of the website with the categories and topics area for each area. If you have any information regarding the deployment of Alternative Energy Solutions, and you would like to share them with our visitors, please feel free to contact me about it. I will be more than glad to consider your input regarding anything related to alternative energies.
With this first post it is included one picture of a small solar panel deployed on May 2006. All detaild regarding this deployment, and future ones, will be detailed presented on the One Sun Power website, so you can learn and get a clear idea how you can implement something like it or similar for you own use.
How much it cost

The cost of the panels, were approximately around the $300 including cost for shipment, and the homemade metal platform. They produce around 35-40 Watts of power, I currently used them to power 2-3 Compact Fluorescent Lights, and some other causal little load.
The energy obtain from the panels, gets into a charger controller that manage the power flow into a deep cycle marine battery. To the battery is connected a power inverter (12VDC–>120VAC@60Hz) to the one the loads(CFL’s,etc) are connected or feed from.
