SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study entitled, “UTILIZATION OF SOLAR PANEL AS AN ALTERNATIVE

SOURCE OF ENERGY TO LESSEN ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION OF THE

RESIDENTS IN TABANGAO BATANGAS CITY DURING YEAR 2022-2023,” will be

beneficial to the following persons:

To the residents of Barangay Tabangao. The goal of this study is to ascertain

whether or not the solar panel may actually assist in lowering their electricity use.

Additionally, this research will teach locals how to use energy more wisely. Installing

solar power systems in a home can have numerous benefits, including lower utility bills,

smaller carbon footprints, and possibly greater home values.

To the present researchers. This study will give the present researchers a further

idea of the benefits given by the utilization of solar panels. Researchers will be aware of

the purpose of this device and the effectiveness of the solar panel. A reduction in the

consumption of electricity will be tackled thoroughly.

To the environment. With gratitude to this technology, burning fossil fuels is not

as needed, which is good for the environment. That implies a corresponding decrease in

greenhouse emissions and air pollution. They are also more tranquil because there

aren't as many moving parts in them.

 To the companies that manufacture solar panels. The results of this study will

help the solar panel companies sell and make high-quality products. The customers

were given the guarantee that their sales would rise as payment for their goods.

To the Future Researchers. The results of this study could be used as a guide for

future studies on relevant topics. The researchers who intend to do similar studies in the

future could use this research as a beneficial guide.

DEFINITION OF TERMS:

Alternative - This term refers to a substitute or a choice in the current source of energy.

Ascertain - This term means that there is an assurance that the study will show the
differences between solar panel and other sources of energy.

Conventional - This term is used to describe electricity as the usual source of energy for
many people.

Energy - Energy is the ability of a physical system to perform work. We use energy in
our daily lives from various sources for doing work. We use muscular energy for carrying
out physical work, electrical energy for running multiple appliances, chemical energy for
cooking food, etc. For this, we need to know the different energy sources to obtain
energy in its usable form.

Exploited - This term means that sunlight is being used to meet the world's increasing
needs for power.

Feasible - This term is used to describe tropical weather as useful or workable for solar
panel.
Hydropower - The “fuel” for hydropower is water which, in itself, is renewable, and is not
consumed in the electricity generating process. Most governmental energy policy
makers identify hydropower as a renewable resource. Hydropower as a renewable and
sustainable resource. If the criteria for renewability is founded on a requirement that a
technology be relatively non-consumptive in the generation of energy, then clearly
hydropower must be considered a renewable energy source. (Stemberg 2010)

Renewable energy - An energy generated from natural resources and includes wind
power, solar radiation as well as energy from other naturally and constantly replenished
sources (sunlight, rain, wave, tides, geothermal heat, etc.). Renewable energy sector
has one very big advantage over fossil fuels, the fact that it is highly ecologically
acceptable compared to fossil fuels, because renewable energy sources release very
little CO2 emissions into atmosphere compared to fossil fuels as the convincingly
biggest pollutants. (Khan, 2018)

Solar panel - According to Energy Education website, solar panel, or solar module, is
one component of a photovoltaic system. They are constructed out of a series of
photovoltaic cells arranged into a panel. They come in a variety of rectangular shapes
and are installed in combination to generate electricity.[2] Solar panels, sometimes also
called photovoltaics collect energy from the Sun in the form of sunlight and convert it into
electricity that can be used to power homes or businesses. These panels can be used to
supplement a building's electricity or provide power at remote locations.

Utilization - Accordingly to corrosionpedia (2017), utilization is the primary technique

wherein success and performance efficiency are determined. This is especially in the
case with tools and equipment. The term is also used to describe the act of using
materials, products and services to make things function, extend the lifespan of
machineries, improve durability of materials and other things that can lead to better
performance and less risk of damage.
