ABSTRACT The 200W solar system was determined by load assessment, solar panel number determination, battery requirement and then inverter sizing. A complete solar panel rated at 200w was however purchased, together with 2 no. 150A solar battery, 1500W inverter and also 10A charge controller. These were assembled together with necessary protective... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Researchers suggest that the amount of sunlight that strikes the Earth's surface in an hour and a half is enough to handle the entire world's energy consumption for a full year. Solar power system is one of the best renewable energy technologies which is not only cost effective but environment friendly as well.This study aimed at... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1       Preamble A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). ( The Authoritative, 2000 ). The input voltage, output voltage and frequency, and overall power handling depend on the design of the specific device or circuitry. The... Continue Reading

Abstract As the world keeps evolving, the demand for electricity increases. The growing energy consumption leads to higher cost that many people, especially in Ghanaian rural areas, cannot afford. Thus, considering this, this paper focuses on designing a Stirling engine to pump water in homes. In order to contribute to the use of renewable energy... Continue Reading

Abstract More than 2.2 million Ghanaian families in rural areas depend on firewood and charcoal as fuel for cooking [1]. This high dependency is taking a toll on forest resources due to rampant deforestation. “Ghana's forest cover, which stood at 8.2 million hectares in 1900, has now been reduced to about 1.2 million hectares, with an estimated...
