Roland, Prof. Lanre Owolabi PaiDvolunteers Academy NSITF Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja. 08082913750 paidvolunteers@yahoo.com, www.paidvolunteers.org Executive summary Our objective… We exist to: 1. Add value to the less valued 2. Inculcate skill to the less skilled 3. Build boldness to those with low self esteem 4. Give knowledge to those seeking to know 5. Discover the kind of Talent individuals do not recognize Who we are and what we do: 1. We make our young ones to become self employed 2. We help them Think Innovatively and Creatively 3. We help them achieve self satisfaction 4. We make them different from their mates 5. We teach them how to Help others 6. We teach them how to Leave a legacy in their time 7. We teach them to be a blessing to their generation 8. We teach them how to be useful to the society 9. Help them realize how they can be a part of the good cause our nation is carrying 10. We show them how not to be just receivers but also givers, giving back to the society. 11. We hope to train and employ about 10,000 Nigerians before the year 2010 Patrons: Barr. J. Roland, Prof. Lawrence Owolabi About us: Paidvolunteers was founded by 3 friends in 2007 who got concerned about how our young people are going. 80% of our young ones cannot stay employed by themselves due to lack of skills. Most are unemployed not because there is no job but for the fact that they either cannot write a good curriculum Vitae or cannot defend the course they read. Some have never worked before probably because they do not like aptitude test and cannot afford any training for the skill that can keep them employed without writing that aptitude test. We provide service to public as well as private sectors of the economy. At the moment we are focusing on skill acquisition of our adult and children who need these skills to move to the next level of their life or start life without going through the pains of application rejection. Out of the whole lot we list few to include: 1. Entrepreneurial Building 2. Education 3. Talent discovery and development 4. Scholarships organization FREE INTRODUCTORY COURSES INCLUDE: • What to do when in danger • First Aid (Demonstration) • Eating Right (seminar) • How to invest as a child • How to invest wisely for yourself • How to invest for your business • How to start a successful Small Business • How to know your Talent Patrons: Barr. J. Roland, Prof. Lawrence Owolabi CREATIVE COURSES VOCATIONAL + • Tailoring / Fashion designing • Singing, Dancing and Acting • Bridal Make-up • Painting & Drawing • Beading • Baking / Cooking • Home-made Ice Cream • Chairmaking • Clothes Dyeing • Shoe Making • Making Leather bags • Candle Making • Basket-Making CREATIVE COURSES IT+ • Computer Assembling • Networking+ • CCNA FOREX • Forex ( Basic, acct opening and more!) 1. Entrepreneurial Building There is nothing like being your own boss. It sometimes intoxicates but every one desires it. I attended an interview with SEDCO forex some time in the 90s; I made the best result that day, for the fact that I didn’t have a sponsor who was their staff. When I was asked who my sponsor was I didn’t really understand, I told them I had none. I was told that there is nothing they could do for me. This was when I was working with Shell. One day my boss called and was lamenting on how he met his friend who he left school same time with after 18 years. He said “if I had continued my business, I would have been better than making a living by now, my friend can even employ me and pay me whenever salary I need” these were his words. And Patrons: Barr. J. Roland, Prof. Lawrence Owolabi I think so many people are in same shoes as my boss. So working for someone else can never make you very rich like you would have been if you were on your own. With this spirit that is why we have decided to train our young ones to get empowered in all ramifications and be patient too. 2. Education In paidvolunteers, we recognize that knowledge is power and one of the easiest ways to acquire it is through training which is the process of acquiring and developing skills, improving knowledge, teaching and trainin g by those who are professionals in such fields of learning. Children as we all know are the future for tomorrow so they are assets as well. A nation with well trained professionals has competitive advantage. In order that that Nations, Schools, governments, ministries, parastatals and corporate bodies keep up with global standards, it is pertinent that their human and material resources are continually developed and equipped and the young ones empowered with modern skills and techniques in order to enable them carry out their core competencies effortlessly. Our capacity development program is more than just training and entails the following: · Personnel Development; The process of equipping children with advance knowledge , skills and access to information that will add immense value to their capacity in carrying out their duties effectively now and in the future. · Organizational Development; The elaboration of talents amongst children and teachers in public schools not only within schools but also the management of relationships between the different schools 3. Talent Discovery and Development One of the areas we concentrate on is discovering o ur children’s talents. NO child is without talent. If you watch their work or performance, you will have goose pimples. The internet has a wealth of information. I read in an article long ago that geniuses can be made as well, not just innate or in-born. The necessity of discovering such talents and training the child in that area as early in life as possible cannot be over emphasized. 4. Scholarships We have come to realize that good education is expensive to acquire and sustain. In paidvolunteers however, we have reduced the cost of training to make it affordable to those who cannot afford it else where. Our scholarship is once every year for children of all ages; the only requirement is being a student at the time. We believe in merit, for that reason we arrange an examination, pick out the best/outstanding student, for a scholarship award. Benefits: By registering for any of these courses, you are supporting this cause; to make our young ones knowledgeable via: · Increasing the quality of students produced · Empowering the young generation to be independent · Developing a self reliant spirit · Reducing the risk associated with loss of information in our society · Enlightenment, and, or upliftment of socio-cultural values. · Quality Entrepreneurial activity.

A solar panel is a device that collects and converts solar energy into electricity or heat which can be used by (for example) nearby buildings. They come in sheets, like sliced roofing sheets. These sheets are placed on your roof according to the amount of power you need to generate energy for your equipments in question. They are used with inverters and batteries. Instead of using electricity from PHCN to charge the inverters, you use solar panels which will be placed on your roof to enable it receive sun. It does not emit any rays. It was used mainly by those people who do not have access to electricity; like our remote villages where there is no PHCN. At night it uses the energy it accumulated to give light. Solar photovoltaic panels can be made so that the sun's energy excites the atoms in a silicon layer between two protector panels. Electrons from these excited atoms form an electric current, which can be used by external devices. Solar panels were in use over one hundred years ago for water heating in homes. MORE: The Basics of Solar Power for Producing Electricity Learn the essential basics of using solar power so you can understand your project. Planning your project begins with understanding the basics found in this section. An excellent place to start for those just beginning. Solar power works well for most items except large electric appliances that use an electric heat element such as a water heater, clothes dryer and electric stove - for example - or total electric home heating systems. It is not cost effective to use solar power for these items. Conversion to natural gas, propane or other alternatives is usually recommended. Solar power can be used to operate a gas clothes dryer (Maytag, etc) because the electrical requirement is limited to the drum-motor and/or ignito-lighter, but not a HEAT element for drying the clothes, for example. We recommend you also review our page Helpful Solar Power Glossary which will provide useful terms and General Construction Techniques for insight into energy efficient new construction or retrofitting energy efficient principles into your building project. The basics of solar power: Using solar power to produce electricity is not the same as using solar to produce heat. Solar thermal principles are applied to produce hot fluids or air. Photovoltaic principles are used to produce electricity. A solar panel (PV panel) is made of the natural element, silicon, which becomes charged electrically when subjected to sun light. Solar panels are directed at solar south in the northern hemisphere and solar north in the southern hemisphere (these are slightly different than magnetic compass north-south directions) at an angle dictated by the geographic location and latitude of where they are to be installed. Typically, the angle of the solar array is set within a range of between site-latitude-plus 15 degrees and site-latitude-minus 15 degrees, depending on whether a slight winter or summer bias is desirable in the system. Many solar arrays are placed at an angle equal to the site latitude with no bias for seasonal periods. This electrical charge is consolidated in the PV panel and directed to the output terminals to produce low voltage (Direct Current) - usually 6 to 24 volts. The most common output is intended for nominal 12 volts, with an effective output usually up to 17 volts. A 12 volt nominal output is the reference voltage, but the operating voltage can be 17 volts or higher much like your car alternator charges your 12 volt battery at well over 12 volts. So there's a difference between the reference voltage and the actual operating voltage. The intensity of the Sun's radiation changes with the hour of the day, time of the year and weather conditions. To be able to make calculations in planning a system, the total amount of solar radiation energy is expressed in hours of full sunlight per m², or Peak Sun Hours. This term, Peak Sun Hours, represents the average amount of sun available per day throughout the year. It is presumed that at "peak sun", 1000 W/m² of power reaches the surface of the earth. One hour of full sun provides 1000 Wh per m² = 1 kWh/m² - representing the solar energy received in one hour on a cloudless summer day on a one-square meter surface directed towards the sun. To put this in some other perspective, the United States Department of Energy indicates the amount of solar energy that hits the surface of the earth every +/- hour is greater than the total amount of energy that the entire human population requires in a year. Another perspective is that roughly 100 square miles of solar panels placed in the southwestern U.S. could power the country. The daily average of Peak Sun Hours, based on either full year statistics, or average worst month of the year statistics, for example, is used for calculation purposes in the design of the system. To see the average Peak Sun Hours for your area in the United States, you can click the following link which will open a new window - just close it [X] when you're done to return here; U.S.-Solar Insolation Choose the area closest to your location for a good indication of your average Peak Sun Hours. For a view of global solar insolation values (peak sun-hours) use this link: Global Peak Sun-hour Maps , then, you can use [back] or [previous] on your browser to return right here if you want to. So it can be concluded that the power of a system varies, depending on the intended geographical location. Folks in the northeastern U.S. will need more solar panels in their system to produce the same overall power as those living in Arizona. We can advise you on this if you have any doubts about your area. Components used to provide solar power: The four primary components for producing electricity using solar power, which provides common 120 volt AC power for daily use are: Solar panels, charge controller, battery and inverter. Solar panels charge the battery, and the charge regulator insures proper charging of the battery. The battery provides DC voltage to the inverter, and the inverter converts the DC voltage to normal AC voltage. If 240 volts AC is needed, then either a transformer is added or two identical inverters are series-stacked to produce the 240 volts. Solar Panels: The output of a solar panel is usually stated in watts, and the wattage is determined by multiplying the rated voltage by the rated amperage. The formula for wattage is VOLTS times AMPS equals WATTS. So for example, a 12 volt 60 watt solar panel measuring about 20 X 44 inches has a rated voltage of 17.1 and a rated 3.5 amperage. V x A = W 17.1 volts times 3.5 amps equals 60 watts If an average of 6 hours of peak sun per day is available in an area, then the above solar panel can produce an average 360 watt hours of power per day; 60w times 6 hrs. = 360 watt-hours. Since the intensity of sunlight contacting the solar panel varies throughout the day, we use the term "peak sun hours" as a method to smooth out the variations into a daily average. Early morning and late-in-the-day sunlight produces less power than the mid-day sun. Naturally, cloudy days will produce less power than bright sunny days as well. When planning a system your geographical area is rated in average peak sun hours per day based on yearly sun data. Average peak sun hours for various geographical areas is listed in the above section. Solar panels can be wired in series or in parallel to increase voltage or amperage respectively, and they can be wired both in series and in parallel to increase both volts and amps. Series wiring refers to connecting the positive terminal of one panel to the negative terminal of another. The resulting outer positive and negative terminals will produce voltage the sum of the two panels, but the amperage stays the same as one panel. So two 12 volt/3.5 amp panels wired in series produces 24 volts at 3.5 amps. Four of these wired in series would produce 48 volts at 3.5 amps. Parallel wiring refers to connecting positive terminals to positive terminals and negative to negative. The result is that voltage stays the same, but amperage becomes the sum of the number of panels. So two 12 volt/3.5 amp panels wired in parallel would produce 12 volts at 7 amps. Four panels would produce 12 volts at 14 amps. Series/parallel wiring refers to doing both of the above - increasing volts and amps to achieve the desired voltage as in 24 or 48 volt systems. The following diagram reflects this. In addition, the four panels below can then be wired in parallel to another four and so on to make a larger array. Charge Controller: A charge controller monitors the battery's state-of-charge to insure that when the battery needs charge-current it gets it, and also insures the battery isn't over-charged. Connecting a solar panel to a battery without a regulator seriously risks damaging the battery and potentially causing a safety concern. Charge controllers (or often called charge regulator) are rated based on the amount of amperage they can process from a solar array. If a controller is rated at 20 amps it means that you can connect up to 20 amps of solar panel output current to this one controller. The most advanced charge controllers utilize a charging principal referred to as Pulse-Width-Modulation (PWM) - which insures the most efficient battery charging and extends the life of the battery. Even more advanced controllers also include Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) which maximizes the amount of current going into the battery from the solar array by lowering the panel's output voltage, which increases the charging amps to the battery - because if a panel can produce 60 watts with 17.2 volts and 3.5 amps, then if the voltage is lowered to say 14 volts then the amperage increases to 4.28 (14v X 4.28 amps = 60 watts) resulting in a 19% increase in charging amps for this example. Many charge controllers also offer Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) and Battery Temperature Compensation (BTC) as an optional feature. The LVD feature permits connecting loads to the LVD terminals which are then voltage sensitive. If the battery voltage drops too far the loads are disconnected - preventing potential damage to both the battery and the loads. BTC adjusts the charge rate based on the temperature of the battery since batteries are sensitive to temperature variations above and below about 75 F degrees. Battery: The Deep Cycle batteries used are designed to be discharged and then re-charged hundreds or thousands of times. These batteries are rated in Amp Hours (ah) - usually at 20 hours and 100 hours. Simply stated, amp hours refers to the amount of current - in amps - which can be supplied by the battery over the period of hours. For example, a 350ah battery could supply 17.5 continuous amps over 20 hours or 35 continuous amps for 10 hours. To quickly express the total watts potentially available in a 6 volt 360ah battery; 360ah times the nominal 6 volts equals 2160 watts or 2.16kWh (kilowatt-hours). Like solar panels, batteries are wired in series and/or parallel to increase voltage to the desired level and increase amp hours. The battery should have sufficient amp hour capacity to supply needed power during the longest expected period "no sun" or extremely cloudy conditions. A lead-acid battery should be sized at least 20% larger than this amount. If there is a source of back-up power, such as a standby generator along with a battery charger, the battery bank does not have to be sized for worst case weather conditions. The size of the battery bank required will depend on the storage capacity required, the maximum discharge rate, the maximum charge rate, and the minimum temperature at which the batteries will be used. During planning, all of these factors are looked at, and the one requiring the largest capacity will dictate the battery size. One of the biggest mistakes made by those just starting out is not understanding the relationship between amps and amp-hour requirements of 120 volt AC items versus the effects on their DC low voltage batteries. For example, say you have a 24 volt nominal system and an inverter powering a load of 3 amps, 120VAC, which has a duty cycle of 4 hours per day. You would have a 12 amp hour load (3A X 4 hrs=12 ah). However, in order to determine the true drain on your batteries you have to divide your nominal battery voltage (24v) into the voltage of the load (120v), which is 5, and then multiply this times your 120vac amp hours (5 x 12 ah). So in this case the calculation would be 60 amp hours drained from your batteries - not the 12 ah. Another simple way is to take the total watt-hours of your 120VAC device and divide by nominal system voltage. Using the above example; 3 amps x 120 volts x 4 hours = 1440 watt-hours divided by 24 DC volts = 60 amp hours. Lead-acid batteries are the most common in PV systems because their initial cost is lower and because they are readily available nearly everywhere in the world. There are many different sizes and designs of lead-acid batteries, but the most important designation is that they are deep cycle batteries. Lead-acid batteries are available in both wet-cell (requires maintenance) and sealed no-maintenance versions. AGM and Gel-cell deep-cycle batteries are also popular because they are maintenance free and they last a lot longer. Using an Inverter: An inverter is a device which changes DC power stored in a battery to standard 120/240 VAC electricity (also referred to as 110/220). Most solar power systems generate DC current which is stored in batteries. Nearly all lighting, appliances, motors, etc., are designed to use ac power, so it takes an inverter to make the switch from battery-stored DC to standard power (120 VAC, 60 Hz). In an inverter, direct current (DC) is switched back and forth to produce alternating current (AC). Then it is transformed, filtered, stepped, etc. to get it to an acceptable output waveform. The more processing, the cleaner and quieter the output, but the lower the efficiency of the conversion. The goal becomes to produce a waveform that is acceptable to all loads without sacrificing too much power into the conversion process. Inverters come in two basic output designs - sine wave and modified sine wave. Most 120VAC devices can use the modified sine wave, but there are some notable exceptions. Devices such as laser printers which use triacs and/or silicon controlled rectifiers are damaged when provided mod-sine wave power. Motors and power supplies usually run warmer and less efficiently on mod-sine wave power. Some things, like fans, amplifiers, and cheap fluorescent lights, give off an audible buzz on modified sine wave power. However, modified sine wave inverters make the conversion from DC to AC very efficiently. They are relatively inexpensive, and many of the electrical devices we use every day work fine on them. Sine wave inverters can virtually operate anything. Your utility company provides sine wave power, so a sine wave inverter is equal to or even better than utility supplied power. A sine wave inverter can "clean up" utility or generator supplied power because of its internal processing. Inverters are made with various internal features and many permit external equipment interface. Common internal features are internal battery chargers which can rapidly charge batteries when an AC source such as a generator or utility power is connected to the inverter's INPUT terminals. Auto-transfer switching is also a common internal feature which enables switching from either one AC source to another and/or from utility power to inverter power for designated loads. Battery temperature compensation, internal relays to control loads, automatic remote generator starting/stopping and many other programmable features are available. Most inverters produce 120VAC, but can be equipped with a step-up transformer to produce 120/240VAC. Some inverters can be series or parallel "stacked-interfaced" to produce 120/240VAC or to increase the available amperage. Efficiency Losses: In all systems there are losses due to such things as voltage losses as the electricity is carried across the wires, batteries and inverters not being 100 percent efficient, and other factors. These efficiency losses vary from component to component, and from system to system and can be as high as 25 percent. That's why it's a good idea to speak to someone who has extensive design experience - like us! - to properly configure the right equipment for you. |
