Installation of rural photovoltaic panels trap

How to design a solar light trap?

An AutoCAD drawing tool 2016 was used to sketch the design of solar light trap. The main component of this light trap was bulb, solar panel and battery. Design of solar panel and battery was done considering by 5W LED bulb. A total of five bulbs with different colors were selected to test the insect’s reaction by visible light. Study indicated that

Can ground-mounted solar panels be used in agrivoltaic systems?

This method can be applied to solar panels in agrivoltaic systems; however, no previous work was performed with such methodology . The ground-mounted solar panels could have dampers and springs in the middle of the panel and investigate the stability of the panel against the wind .

Are solar light traps eco-friendly?

In conclusion, the solar light trap is eco-friendly, low cost, easy and self-sufficient in term of solar energy. Finally, the newly developed light trap could be helpful for manufactures, decision makers, and engineering community as well as farmers as a best tool to protect nature in comparison to other pesticide using practices.

How can we support solar power projects in rural areas?

Non-profit organizations and international aid agencies can offer donor funding to support solar power projects in rural areas. Microfinance, through offering micro-loans specifically for solar power installations, can enable rural residents to access funding for solar systems.

What is the operation principle of solar light trap?

The operation principle of solar light trap mainly depends on the battery. The battery should be fully charge in the presence of sunshine and discharge at night. It was necessary to know the charging time of battery of the solar light trap. The performance of the solar system normally depends on the charging point and the capacity of the battery.

How a solar light trap works?

The size of solar panel and battery was properly designed to provide the required power to the bulb. The battery was able to provide sufficient energy to bulb. The solar light trap was operated 5.5 hours by discharge of battery 60%. The sensor of the light trap was 100% functional for ON/OFF purposes which reduced the human labor.
