FACTS/DETAILS

1. Successful Testing and Launching of a Multi- Voltage System Solar Power

Generator
2. Project Title: Multi- Voltage System Solar Power Generator
Description: A 1000- watt DC solar power unit which can generate enough power
to run air conditioners, lights, refrigerators, television sets and electric fans
simultaneously and at a lower cost
Proponent: Robel Botio, professor at the research and extension office of Tarlac
State University
Area: Barangay Ungot, Tarlac Cty
Date: July 25, 2019
3. It was funded by DOST-Region III under its Grants-in-Aid (GIA) program
4. Rode Botio’s Statements:
a) The multi- voltage system solar power generator can provide
alternating current (AC) of 220 volts (V) and direct current
(DC) of 12V and has a rated power capacity of 8KW
(800W).
b) With the said power, the generator brought down the
homeowner’s electricity month bill from P6,000 to P1,500
during its trial run.
c) It was successfully pilot tested in the home of a poor family in Brgy. Bantug in
the science City of Muñoz, Nueva Eciija to power six electric light bulbs and one
electric fan.
d) The household is 100 percent powered by solar energy.
