Optimum position would be high up the wall, since cold air flows downward and warm air, upwards.

Hot air rises, cold air sinks. Not so high naman na hindi ka na abot ng hangin.

Back sa solar.

I imported a solar street lamp. Gagawin kong perimeter lighting. Ma try kung gaano katibay.

I also imported solar modules na pang brown out lang with 4 unit E27 bulbs. Malaman kung tatagal. Medyo mahal din kasi pag solar setup na kayang magpaandar ng basic appliances sa bahay. It will take years then bago mabawi. Paano pag nasira sa kalagitnaan, so additional maintenance cost.

RFSE in Alabang supplies and install solar lamp post using LEDs. Search na lang po sa FB. A good friend of mine owns that company.

Cold air falls. Best to put it up close to the ceiling.

puro solar ba available sa pinas, hassle kasi sa province madami kalapati tapos paminsan minsan may namimilatok na bata. meron na ba yun wind specifically helical type para tahimik at pede sa bagyo.?

For professional wind installation, the engineers I've talked to recommend a one year study (instrumented data gathering) to determine if the wind patterns in your area make it worth installing a wind generator.

If you don't have the right kind of wind in a consistent pattern, you won't ever achieve ROI (return on investment)... in other words... sayang lang pera mo.

Agree, hindi kasi reliable wind power kung hindi sustainabe yung supply. Mas madali pa din in most areas of the Philippines yung solar power.

Both of you maybe right, but I think your talking about the coventional type wind generator, I'm waiting for the one I saw on tv years back about that wind generator, iirc it's a helical type, even at low wind it can generate power and at high wind like typhoons it does not affect its max rpm as one of its characteristics, max rotation or rpm will be constant even at typhoon strenght wind or a windy day. can be installed horizontally or vertically.
I guess, wala pa siguro nyan dito, sana nabanggit na yan kung nakausap mo. baka may proprietary licenses pa.
sa solar ba, ano average lifespan ng panels commonly available?

**shibby75** · June 21st, 2014 11:36 AM

Kelangan mo di pag aralan ang locstion ng solar panel mo. The sun doesnt always rises and sets at the same position (east and west).

Nababago ng position ang araw depende sa season. Summer and december is completely the opposite. Dapat sakto ang angle ng panel to both season. Kundi loss of energy ka din. Baka me saktuhan pa na buildin ang araw.
