ABSTRACT
creating new sources of energy to replace the main grid power consumption in
the Philippines, wherein the electricity cost is too high for the consumer to pay.
Since solar energy is one of the reliable sources of energy, people still tend to
find ways how to make the most out of it. Aside from that, an Automatic Transfer
The researchers come to an idea of combining the two concepts in creating the
project.
innovative project from the usual ATS. This project has the combined concept of
the solar power and ATS but, instead of using the ATS for emergency situations,
it will be used as a daily system of saving electricity during daytime with the solar
functionality. This was done through number of days in each testing procedures
and evaluation with the help of the faculty and staff in the TUP-Taguig Campus
as the respondents. The system is easy to control and manage and it is designed
not only for the use of the Electronics Department but for future use in the
commercial and industrial establishments. There is still a need for further studies
project study. First and foremost, to the Almighty God for giving knowledge and
wisdom, courage and strength to move-on despite all the hardships and trials
throughout the whole process of creating the project study. Second, to our
parents, who seek effort, time, and cooperation in helping us in this project
Joseph Enojas who always supported us from the back and gives some advices
in our project study. Also, to Engr. Rica Jane Y. Kosca and her husband, Mr.
Edwin Kosca for introducing this project idea and also for giving us moral support
We are also thankful for the advices by the panel members to further
improve our project during our project study defense and because of these
who give intense support and care to their sons and daughters.
