 <title>SOLAR &amp; WIND POWERED HOUSE ...A/C &amp; LIFT</title>
 <link>http://www.nextbillion.net/newsroom/2004/08/31/solar-power-distributed-among-rural-poor-in-the-philippines#comment-24578</link>
 <description>Hello Friedrich/Antonio/Elmer,

My name is Jun and I&#039;m planning to put up a second story house (Ground and First level will be for a (3) door appartment for rent). The houseI plan to put up in the rooftop will incorporate passive and active solar power technology. My main concern is how to get up and down from the rooftop as my parents are quite elderly and my dad has emphysema and can not come up and down a plight of stairs. So does my mother who is elderly. Is there a lift that can be run by solar power to provide access to the rooftop? Also is there already an A/C than can run thru solar energy? I&#039;ve always seen lighting/TV/and home entertainment supported by the solar technology but have not seen A/C yet. My father would need this as he has difficulty breathing on extreme hot weather. 

Also in Imus, Cavite(Lat 14 deg 25 min 48.29sec Long 120deg 56min 31.46sec)is it possible to incorporate a grid-intertied solar and wind power system as there are times that no wind is blowing at all except for frequent tropical monsoons. Can a wind turbine withstand Class5 typhoon wind gusts of up to 210-230 kph?

And finally,do you have a passive solar house design that can maximize the green house effect in cooling the house?Do you have a house design that can maximize sunlight to illuminate the house but not increase indoor temperatures? What kind of window glass do you have that can work together with the technology but not dissipate cool gains in house temperature?This will lessen the use of A/C in the long summer and maintain heat in the monsoon season. How much do you think it will cost to put the system up that can handle (15) 40Watts fluorescent bulbs, a washing machine if the whole floor area is around 4,670 sq. ft.? (I intend to maximize the area to include an enclosed garden/solarium)&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

 <link>http://www.nextbillion.net/newsroom/2004/08/31/solar-power-distributed-among-rural-poor-in-the-philippines#comment-24547</link>
 <description>Hi,

I live in Bacolod City Negros Occidental, and I wish to opt using Solar Electricity.

Can you advice me how can we have this, how much it cost monthly and what will be the necessary materials for installation, as well as the installation cost?  Will there be any maintenance after the installation, and will there be any danger in using it.

Hope to here the soonest.

Thanks&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

 <description>I&#039;m glad to know that there is a growing awareness to save energy.A solar power system is the energy solution
we need to address the global problem in climate change and the rising cost of energy.It has no power failure/brownout and best of all, it&#039;s FREEE!!.

Prices depend on the requirement needed by the customer, you need to determine how many lights you need,electrc fan, radio,TV etc..Then we can send you our best price.

All the best,

 <title>Solar enery for home</title>
 <link>http://www.nextbillion.net/newsroom/2004/08/31/solar-power-distributed-among-rural-poor-in-the-philippines#comment-24259</link>
 <description>My husband and I are getting ready to build a home in Tuguegarao City, Phil. We are very interrested in having solar panels and generators so that we can be independent of the power company. With the abundance of sunny days in our country it just makes sense to do this if it is cost effective. Can you please give me a rought estimate on what this will cost. It is not going to be a large home somewhere around 650 sq.ft. on 2 floors making around 1300 sq ft. with 5 or 6 small rooms. Is it less costly to suppy it with 110-120v lighting and appliances. The only 220v needed will be for the refrigerator and A/C. I have some small electrical appliances that have been sent to me from America and I can use a step-down or step-up converter. So if it is cheaper for 110v I can use the step-up converter for the 2 larger items mentioned above. I hope you can help me in obtaining this estimate and who I need to contact to purchase and install.
Thank you
Juanita&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

 <title>good house design also important.</title>
 <link>http://www.nextbillion.net/newsroom/2004/08/31/solar-power-distributed-among-rural-poor-in-the-philippines#comment-21228</link>
 <description>Any person can maximize the potential of solar power with an energy efficient house design. You can construct a home which uses passive solar energy for heat and ventilation. Without the need for electric fans or air conditioners, solar panels can power other appliances. Good house design should also capture rain water to personal or community use.  Solar power can then be used to pump the water to a roof top tank which uses gravity to feed water to the house.   &lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

 <description>I read many articles about solar power, I opened options to other altenate sources to cut costs. Your product offers one of the favorable choices, I would like to understand more your product, how much will it cost, and if there are offers for a financing scheme, where is your local business address. I believe this will be a new avenue or a turn around situation on our oil and financial crisis, considering its being environment friendly, economical and practical, coz we have abundant source of sunlight. Im from Cotabato City, Mindanao, Philippines.

Looking forward to your earnest response.
Thank you. &lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

 <description>Thanks for your comment Lester.  The forum is still active, but NextBillion.net is a site that focuses on business solutions to environmental and social problems writ large - not necessarily a specific question such as this.  If information in the above article and the previous replies is out of date, I&amp;#39;d hope that someone in the community would let us know.  Otherwise, we&amp;#39;re just as in the dark as you are with regard to price and availability.  Good luck! &lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;</description>

Rural homes without electricity get chance to receive solar power&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;flexinode-textarea-6&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;For as low as P343 per month, rural households in areas not reached by electricity will have the chance to use modern conveniences such as television sets, electric lights, karaokes and radio sets through solar power energy. Last week, the Negros Oriental provincial government, the Shell Solar Philippines Corp. and the Southern Sun Solar Power Corp. signed a memorandum of agreement that seek&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
