Village Benefits From Wind-Solar Power System


Ramro Khabar.
Villagers of Dhaubadi in Nawalparasi are set to benefit from Asian Development Bank’s newest pilot project that is happening for the first time in Nepal which is the installation of the mini wind-solar hybrid power system. Under the system there are two sets of 5 kW wind turbines complemented by a 2 kW peak solar photo-voltaic panel to meet the village’s daily demand of 43.6 kW hours.

The positive outcome for the villagers mean that they can spend less time in their search for firewood and the reduction in deforestation in the area. This sure is an example of the foreign aid money being used and bringing the change that is expected. Let’s hope ADB’s project reaches many more rural villages in the days to come.

  2. Many people are now using solar panels for solar energy source. Conversion of electricity to solar energy may be tedious because you need to also install some electric wiring with proper voltage and energy requirement to prevent damages to the appliances and other equipment in the house. Solar energy can save energy and money indeed.

  3. It’s good to see Nepal working on other sources of energy like solar. This is a common way in the US today to save energy and experience a low cost energy. In fact, we just installed ours last month. I was glad I got a help from an electrical repair Garden City electricians. They really did a great job in installing the solar panel and fixed wiring.
