The solar lamp is a transparent plastic bottle, which is filled with clean water and chlorine, and inserted into holes that are open on the roofs, to take advantage of sunlight during the day. The sun's rays travel through the container and the mixture generates a bright refraction of 360 degrees, which illuminates any room with the same intensity of a 55-watt electric bulb.
The procedure is simple and does not require specific knowledge. The transparent 1.5 liter bottle is filled with water and a little chlorine is added, which prevents the development of mold in the solution, and allows it to last up to 5 years. To finish, the bottle cap is hermetically sealed.
Once the mixture is prepared, a hole is made in a sheet of aluminum or galvanized aluminum, where the bottle is inserted halfway and fixed with industrial sealant. Afterwards, a similar hole is drilled in the roof of the house and the light bottle is adjusted, on the sheet of the house. Finally, sealant is applied to prevent leaks.
The night solution requires other knowledge, but that does not make it more difficult to install.
The Solar Panel receives the solar energy and sends it to the controller. The more sunlight there is during the day, a higher level of battery charge will be achieved.
The Controller converts the panel current into electrical power, and also manages the battery's charge level. The photosensor controls the switching on and off of the lamp.
During the day, the Battery accumulates the energy captured by the panel, and during night, it feeds the consumption of the lamp when it is turned on. The full charge provides between 8 and 10 continuous hours of light.
A recycled bottle of PET and LED lights, form the Lamp, which is equivalent to a 150 watt bulb. Placed at a height of 3 to 3.5 m. of height, it illuminates an area of 40 m2. approximately.
For the lamp frame, we use accessible, durable, and low-cost materials, such as PVC and other materials that can be found in each country.
