Project description and
results:
40No’s of
Community charging station are installed with 400 LED Lanterns for lighting the
lives of 2000 peoples. People’s can also charge their
mobiles from SCS Junction box.
The Junction box includes Charge controller with required protections, accessories,
cables with suitable connectors and Lithium ion battery power pack 12.6V 11Ah,(
Or Lead Acid Batteries depending on Affordability) and can
charge Lithium ion battery based gadgets
like LED Lanterns, Mobiles, Head lamps,
Flash Lights, ceiling lanterns etc., LED Lighting Systems with 3Watt
LED Bulbs.( See pictures below)
Mobile phones and Lantern charging is a daily requirement
in Off Grid areas. The consumer can charge mobile and lantern by solar panel or
charging Station. LED Lighting is more efficient when compared to Fluorescent
and Incandescent Lighting. LED is efficient
uses less power, lasts
longer , trouble free and has
higher lighting levels on
per watt comparison.
LED lanterns with Li Ion Batteries are convenient,
produce less heat and No smoke when compared
to kerosene Lanterns. A kerosene lamp producing 37 lumens for 4 hours per day
will consume about 3 liters of kerosene per month. Kerosene price $2 per liter,
$6 per month, $72 per year. Solar lantern with Panel and Mobile charging
accessories can retail for less than $ 50 and give backup of 20Hours and
80-100Lumens lighting. Consumer can recover
his cost in
first year thus
enjoying benefits for subsequent years. Maintenance cost of Kerosene lamp
is 5 times> than Solar LED Lamp.
Arundhati lanterns from Global Telelinks is
approved by Lighting Africa and TERI.
These Installations are done in off grid or
Rural areas where there are power cuts. Main disadvantage of remote area’s is low demand, hence
transmission supply is more expansive than demand. It becomes
cheaper to generate one's own electricity rather than purchasing it from the
grid. Electricity can be generated on site by renewable energy resources like
solar, wind, biomass….etc.,

The Charging station with Solar Powering can also charge Li Ion
Powered Gadgets like Lantern, Study Lights, Mobile, tabbies, Li ion batteries,
flash lights, etc,..
