INTRODUCTION
Sources of energy came in different ways which are being used in generating
power in the world. These different sources of energy are used primarily to produce
electricity. There are nine chief areas of energy resources that falls in two categories:
non-renewable and renewable. Non-renewable energy resources are natural gas, oil,
nuclear, and coal which is available in limited supplies. The reason behind this is it is
usually due to the long time it takes to be refilled. Renewable resources are replaced
naturally and over quite short periods of time. The five major renewable energy resources
The cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available is the solar
energy. Solar energy provides a variety of uses and one of these is to generate electricity.
There are numerous means to harness solar energy: solar heating & cooling,
photovoltaics, concentrating solar power, and passive solar. The first three are active
solar systems, which use electrical or mechanical devices that transform the sun's light to
another form of functional energy. However, even though sun energy is considered as
Sun energy is considered as renewable energy but people tend to depreciate it.
People invest more to distributors of electricity that could power houses in exchange of
electrical bills. Nobody can exploit the sunlight and sun offers more energy than people
could ever use. Consumers doesn’t know the advantages of using solar energy because

people tend to do what is common. Some of the people are not well-oriented about the
benefits of consuming solar energy while some oriented people chose not to invest in a
‘one-time bigtime’ investment due to the state of being afraid in releasing huge amount of
money. With the use of solar power system, consumers could start saving money from
the moment it is turned on, nevertheless, the benefits of solar power are best noticeable in
the long run. The more people appreciate the advantages of solar technology and care the
Since sun shines across the planet, it can possibly make every country in the
world a solar power energy producer that can lead into a greater security and
independence in producing energy. Energy source like Solar Energy, however is one of
the underutilized renewable energy, according to Rockies et al. (2009) “About ten to the
18th kwh is received annually at the surface of the earth but only a tiny fraction of this
In the Philippines, coal fired power plants are the dominant producers of
electricity because it is more convenient to produce electricity with the use of coal rather
than renewable energy sources. Solar power energy is also efficient; however, its bad side
is that photovoltaic cells are not capable of harvesting large amount of sunlight and heat
produced by the sun. It is however categorized by low production but high maintenance.
people don't tend to appreciate its benefits. However, this kind of energy source is not
efficient for some because its high cost maintenance but its energy production is low. So,
what will be the cause if people are depreciating the solar power energy? Of Course,
electricity demand rate will not be sustained and more non-renewable energy sources

improving because it is now in demand e.g. China is now leading for solar power
producer.
The development of Automated Solar shades is tended to help to promote the use
of solar energy for the efficient and reliable alternative source of energy. The perceived
solution approach is to help the chosen beneficiary a non- government charity, that
shelters patients who are currently undergoing medical treatments in Philippine General
Hospital, the strategies to make with this non-NGO charity named Bahay Aruga is to
install this automated solar shade that can power lights and emergency light.
The objective of this study is to develop an automated window shades using solar
cells.
The study is focused on the development of a project that will produce electricity
by means of sun power energy. It has 1.) Automatic up and down of shade. 2.) Supply 4
However, the study is limited to the amount of current generated by the shade
through the help of light and heat being trapped by the solar panels.
The study intends to develop an automated solar shade that can help some rural
areas to store backup energy source by using sun power energy. This can also help to

Sources of Energy
Energy is a force or power that enable things to do work. Also, it is a conserve amount; in
the law of conservation of energy it states that energy is can neither be created nor
destroyed. Hence, the Earth provides different natural sources of energy which
It is a type of energy resource that can be used over and over again. This includes
wind, geothermal, hydropower, biomass and solar energy. Generally, these following
Wind Power
Wind power is the ability to use air as a source of energy, by means of air that
flows through the wind turbines and spins the generator and create electricity. Thus, it is
an alternative source to burning fossil fuels, it is abundant, renewable, clean, and widely
6
distributed, and don't produce any greenhouse gases emissions during its operation, it
Biomass
Another type of energy source that used to produce energy by burning organic
materials that can be found on plants and animals. However, it is a kind of renewable
energy that can be used to produce heat by means of combustion. The raw materials like
animal manure and human sewage are used in this type of production. In addition,
burning biomass releases carbon emissions, but has been marked as a renewable
energy source around the world, because plant stocks can be replaced with a new
growth.
Hydro Power
Source of energy that uses the kinetic energy from the flowing water or the
potential energy of water at a height. Hydro power plants are converting potential energy
of falling water into electricity. Since there are few water-falls which are characterized as
a source of potential energy. Usually, hydro power plants are built with dams. Earlier in
the last century, a large number of dams were built all over the world to use as energy
source.
Geothermal Power
Geothermal energy comes from the heat beneath the earth. The transmission of
electricity is more efficient than transporting coal or petroleum over the same distance.
Therefore, many thermal power plants are set up near coal or oil fields. The term thermal
power plant is used since fuel is burnt to produce heat energy which is converted into
electrical energy.
Solar Power
7
Energy source that uses the heat coming from the sun. However, the sun radiates
an enormous amount of heat energy at the present rate for nearly 5 billion years and
therefore continue radiating at the same rate for about 5 billion years more. Only a small
part of solar energy reaches the outer layer of the earth’s atmosphere. It is nearly half of it
is absorbed while passing through the atmosphere and the rest reaches the earth’s surface.
Solar Energy
Every day, the sun is radiating a massive amount of energy called solar energy. It
radiates more energy in one day than the world uses in one year. This energy source
Photovoltaics (PV) are usually transforms light energy into electricity. For a
typical PV panel, it consists two or more thin layers of semi-conducting material, which
commonly are silicon. Photovoltaic cells are connected together and encapsulated to form
a module or panel. Then, solar rays are harvested by the use of solar panels. When the
light strikes the silicon, it produces electrons that are conducted away by a metallic grid
as direct current (DC). And then sent through an inverter and converted it into alternating
current (AC) electricity for use. However, cloudy weather will limit the amount of energy
collected.
Solar energy is a type of renewable energy resource that can do useful work
in many circumstances. The advantages of using solar energy as follows; obviously, the
more sunshine hours a place receives the more energy is generated. Photovoltaics (PV)
are one of the most environmental-friendly ways to generate power nowadays because
8
they are silent, and it doesn’t produce any emissions while in use and require no fuel to
run them.
The major disadvantage of both wafer-based and thin film solar energy is the
intermittency. Because if the sun does not shine at night, and is weakened by overcast
skies and storms the energy from solar cells are therefore cannot work at all times.
Therefore, this only means that decentralized energy from solar cells cannot supply what
the energy industry calls baseline power, which supplies a constant energy need. To
summarize this, getting to know with Solar energy is a step by step process. Using this as
an alternative energy source a person must need to know about the pros and cons of solar
energy. However, solar energy is somehow not efficient, but nowadays as technology go
further and further, it can be more innovative on how to collect or harvest this kind of
resource.
Roller Shades
is a type of window shade that is made from synthetic fabrics that can be rolled up or
down that suit your desires. In addition, roller shades are available in any kind of patterns
that mounts into different windows. They are more fashionable alternatives than a typical
curtains. Like Roman shades, roller shades are to be had in a broad range of natural and
9
synthetic fabric and regularly have extra functions together with thermal or blackout
linings.
Tie-Up Shades
Tie-up shades (Figure 2) are like a go between a shade and a curtain. Tie-Up
shades are available in variety of materials, design and color. It can raise the coloration
by way of rolling it up and then tying the color in vicinity. This style of shade gives a
casual or country appearance that blends seamlessly with many varieties of home décor.
Outdoor Shades
Outdoor shades (Figure 3) are commonly made from heavy responsibility, climate
resistant materials. This are used on patios and decks to reduce the amount of solar
exposure and warmth that’s coming into the area. Outdoor solar shades are in particular
Skylight Shades
Skylight shades (Figure 4) are commonly characteristic in a large part, because it
has a detachable rod that’s used to elevate, decrease or alter the shade. Every now and

Solar cell is an electronic device that converts sunlight into electricity directly.
Shining of light on the solar cell produces voltage and current to come up with electrical
power. This method requires first in a material in which light absorption makes an
electron raise its energy into higher state. Secondly, the electron’s movement with higher

edges, and any grain-free of any boundaries. Mono-Si can be intrinsic equipped,
containing only of extremely pure silicon, or doped, comprising tiny amounts of other
elements added to change its semiconducting properties. Most silicon mono crystals are
grown into ingots of up to 2 meters in length and weighing several hundred kilograms by
process from metallurgical grade silicon. This process includes breakdown of silicon at

Devices that convert light into electricity. They are called "solar" panels because
most of the time, the most powerful source of light available is the Sun, called Sol by

large area can work together to provide enough power to be useful. The more light that
According to Bennet, Coleman 2018, Solar panels are used to convert solar
energy into electrical energy. Whenever the sunlight falls upon the solar panels, it
generates electricity which fills the batteries. In addition, solar panels are actually a
collection of solar (or photovoltaic) cells, which can be used to generate electricity by the
process of photovoltaic effect. Also, these cells are arranged in a grid-like pattern on the
surface of solar panels. Thus, solar panel may also be described as a set of photovoltaic
modules that mounts on a structure supporting it. A photovoltaic (PV) module is basically

extremely slow. In a year, the effectiveness of solar panels decreases only about one to
two per cent (at times, even lesser). However, installation of solar panels in homes helps
in combating the harmful emissions of greenhouse gases and thus helps reduce the effect
of global warming. Because solar panels do not produce any form of pollution and it is
clean. It also decrease the reliance on fossil fuels (which are limited) and traditional

power going to the battery bank was being managed by a solar charge controller.
Deep cycle batteries are ensured from not being overcharged during the day by
the charge controller and also prevents the draining of batteries due to running of power
