Implementation of solar electricity and water filtration systems for a smart house

Abstract

The use of fossil fuels as a source of energy is one of the problems faced by the government nowadays. These cause harmful effects not only on humans, but also on the environment. Another problem is the supply and sanitation of water. The supply is becoming limited especially in rural areas and the sanitation is not being assured. In this research paper, the uses of solar energy and water as alternative sources are discussed. This research implemented solar electricity and water filtration systems for home use. Through these systems, the user can save a minimum of 20% of specific electricity wattage and save a certain amount of filtered water depending on the amount of rainwater collected. The materials used are Solar Panel, AGM Battery, Grid-tie Inverter, Charge Controller, Reverse Osmosis System, LCD, gizDuino+, ATMEGA 324P, and various components like resistors, transistors, and wires that made up the monitoring system’s circuit.
