Production Specification

Design Goals and Design Requirements 

• Specification:  Provide power and electricity to people in rural areas, so they can have the economic benefits that comes with it.

  • Design specification:  our design is sustainable.

  • Product(Technical)Specifications: (how many watts are we supposed to provide our costumers)

    • The average house in Mexico uses 4.76 kWh in the cities.

• Features: (what do end users want?)

  • Our clients are in need of a consistent source of electricity to power homes.

  • Basic electricity and  refrigerating.

• Constraints (What are your limiting factors in the design)

  • High pricing

  • Not enough consumers

• Parameter(What are the testable features in your design?)

  1. Can power lights, refrigerators, etc.

• Does it provide consistent electricity to power a home?

Know The Power Outage We Need To Provide 

Refrigerator

• • • average household refrigerator 1.2-2.4 kwh
      Hisense 4.4-cu ft Counter-depth Freestanding Mini Fridge uses 0.8 amperes (A)

    • The Hisense 4.4-cu ft Counter-depth Freestanding Mini Fridge is approximately 0.90 kWh/day. 

    • Daily Energy Consumption (kWh) = 329kWh/365 ​ ≈ 0.90kWh/day
      
      
      

Basic Lighting

• • • If you have 15 LED bulbs, each consuming 10 watts, and they are all on for 5 hours per day, the total estimated daily energy consumption is approximately 0.75 kWh/day. 

    • A 10 W LED light bulb uses 0.01 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy if it produces 800lm of light.  

0.75 kWh/day

2000 Watts

2kwh Solar Panel 

• • A 400-watt solar panel can produce 2 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity if it gets five hours of direct sun per day. 

2 kilowatt-hours (kWh)

• • In the northern-most areas of Mexico, even the shortest days of the year give more than 10 hours of daylight. In the southern-most areas (nearer to the equator) you can enjoy over 11.5 hours of daylight on the shortest day of the year. 

  • These 2 kW size grid-connected solar kits include solar panels, DC-to-AC inverter, rack mounting system, hardware, cabling, permit plans and instructions.
