A Proposed Solar Panel to operate Computer Laboratory of Messiah’s Angel Learning School

Abstract

We are living in the world of technology where people are exposed to different technologies such as cell phone, computer, tablet and other gadgets as their personal use. In our community we can see various changes from primitive technology to high technology. In the hospital, technology is used to detect the result of one’s illness, in the bank, technology is utilized to process one transaction after the other, in offices documents are keep in the computer or in the cloud, in schools - records are kept electronically and are stored in digital form, and most specially with the way communication is, it is done via computer and internet (IoT and VoIP). Solar Energy as one of the top Technology of the future is a technology that has been increasing its substance and significance in our community nowadays. According to the research of Siddiqui, he stated that Solar energy is a solar power that comes from the sun by means of solar panels. Active solar energy includes the adaptation of sunlight to electrical energy. Solar electricity depends upon artificial strategies such as solar panels or solar cells in order to deliver a source of clean, and low-cost renewable energy. Messiah’s Learning Angel School is using Power Supply provided by the private company in the Philippines, and they are paying an incredibly high electricity fee monthly. One of the ways to lower their operational cost is through the avenue of embracing the use of solar energy. At first, the initial investment or setup cost is high but eventually after 5 years the complete benefits (based on cost benefit analysis and payback time) of solar energy will be experience by the school. This study is designed to have a Solar Panel to run the computer laboratory of the earlier mentioned learning institution, where the main objective is to provide power to their 30 computers by means of Solar Energy.
