solar powered homes
How do you feel about using solar-powered appliances or other installations at home?
Hello, I’m a student conducting a short open-ended survey to get a feel of how solar-powered installations at home will be perceived and received by the average person. Your responses will help me develop a sustainable product for residential use. Feel free to respond and send me your comments. Thank you very much for helping! – MariaCGL
We used to have solar pannels on our roof that powered some lightbulbs in our house. This was in the Philippines more than 10 years ago. It seemed to work, although I think there was some sort of back up power since we had lights even during cloudy and stormy days. I suppose it would be nice to have solar powered appliances as long as it has a backup power source for those short and cloudy winter days. I think it would be great to have some sockets that are connected to a mini station that is constatntly being recharged by solar power. That way you can plug anything in the socket and recharge your moblie or use a hair dryer or reading lamp. It would also be handy for those rare days of power cuts so that even if the main power source is cut due to a storm or something, you will still be able to use those little essential appliances by plugging them into the sockets. I hope this helps!
