2. Solar Paneled Blinds
When we are not using the window, we
could pull the blind such that it generates
electricity from the sunlight
This blind will have thin layers of solar
panels in it such that it generates
electricity in the sunlight.
It will look something like this:
3. Itwill benefit the people as a
convectional blind will only shield the
sunlight, which can be used for
generating power
The new blind will not only block sunlight
but generate power from it
4. Solar panel for heating
Solar panels can be used on the rooftop
for heating water
This will save the massive amount of
energy that is used to heat up the water.
5. Motion detection lights in
washrooms
We should put motion detectors in
washrooms to control the lighting
As many people forget to switch off their
washroom lights when they leave
This will waste the power needed for the
light and save power
6. Rainwater harvesting
Place rainwater harvesting equiptment on
rooftops to collect rainwater
They can be used to save water
So they could be used to flush toilets, etc.
7. “recycling power”
InMany places there are lights on 24
hours like dark rooms
We can place solar panels on 1 side of
the light shield to generate the electricity
so that the energy is not wasted
The shield will also lower to
Dim the light
8. Conditions
Our solutions are best for landed property
as they are more “customized” than flats
and condominiums
Installing these appliances also need a lot
of money
The green system is profitable only in the
long run
9. Advantages&Disadvantages
•Saves a lot on electricity and water
bills,conserves energy
•Will be effective in a long run
Advantages •It saves up water in case of a water shortage
•Saves electricity in case someone forgets to
turn off lights
•Might be costy as the solar panels are expensive
•Sunlight might be absorbed by dust or impurities or
blocked by sunlight
disadvantages •Rainwater system will not be effective if there is
less rain
•Batteries in sensors cost money
10. Costs
Solar panels
Solar panels that produce 1.5kwh is about
$8200(including fixing), yearly bills
reduced by 30%. Almost 1 ton of reduced
co2 emissions
Its size is about 1 to 2 square meters
It requires a clean surface and minimum
cleaning only
11. Costs
Rainwater harvesting
A household will pay $1500 for the
equipment, which can store water for almost
a year
Motion detector
It costs about $55 each
It is easy to install
