SOLAR WASHING MACHINE

Abstract

The project is applied from observation based on how to wash clothes using electric washing machines. The objective of this project is to build a prototype device capable of washing clothing without the use of electricity. Furthermore, there are several scope of study that have been set in this project that is, those prototype tools that are protected using solar energy and those tools that are capable of competing existing washing techniques. These are set to resolve some of the problems arising from the use of existing methods, including the difficulty of washing shirts with no electricity supply and the higher electricity price definition nowadays. The materials for this project also need to have special characteristics of using quality solar panels to channel energy to washing machines, based on literature studies conducted by 50W Monocrystalline type solar panels are the most suitable for this project. Meanwhile, for the process of forming components, methodological studies were used to plan the project production process using flow charts as a guide for planning, production and testing of projects. As a result, the project was successfully produced with an average electricity savings rate of 32.76%. Based on these results, the results of the analysis and discussions carried out can be formulated that the Solar Washing Machine has achieved the objectives discussed. Besides that, this prototype tool is also proven to be able to save electricity than ever before.
