PROBLEM STATEMENT:
Most of the people in Ghana with solar systems use them only when there is power outage, and it is my view that this is an under use of the solar power considering that we have abundant sunlight in Ghana. Solar panels are usually fixed and do not rotate to optimize the amount of solar radiation hitting them.
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS:
1. Splitting up the load in the house, so that some loads such as lighting would be on
solar, while other loads would be fed by the grid, with control systems to easily transfer
loads between the two.
2. Synchronizing the solar supply with the grid supply, and put in place control systems to
kick in the grid supply when solar energy cannot support the load.
I plan to design and implement both solutions, and in both cases the panel would be setup to align with the sun for maximum radiation to hit its surface.
3. Alternative solutions are WELCOME!!
I am looking for a team to collaborate and work with, as my current job would prevent me from executing this project as fast as I usually do.
