DAET DISTRICT JAIL

THE MOST INNOVATIVE JAIL NATIONWIDE

ON TH GO!

Daet District Jail is one of the jail facilities within BJMPRO-5 which is

performing on its best. Thru sound jail management, active acquisition,

hiring, training and maintenance of resources, innovations and good

practices, logistics improvements, strong linkages and unending support

from the top, DDJ has established Primary and Secondary Gate, Kitchen,

Water Facility, Multi-Purpose Hall, Admin Building, CCTV and internet

connection.

DDJ continues to evolve in a more secured facility and INin terms

of modern technology. Thru the leadership of a solar power enthusiast

Warden, J/SINSP GERARDO S BERDIN, DDJ now has an improvised SOLAR

POWERED EQUIPMENT(SPE).

What is Solar Power Equipment? How it works?

Solar Power Equipment is composed of solarpanels which has arrangement of PV or solarcells that are exposed to sunlight and convert itto electricity in the form of direct current (DC).

The DC Power is stored into Batteries through aCharge Controller. The DC Power is passed

through an Inverter that converts the DC powerinto alternating current (AC) which can be usedfor household lighting and run appliances.Bigger systems can be used to supply power forindustrial and commercial use.

Typically, the batteries will be charged during daytime and the stored power will be consumed atnight time. The PV systems components specifications and sizes will depend on the size of theload.

Why Solar Power instead of other types of power generators?

BENEFITS/ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR POWER:

Environmental Friendly clean, no carbon or gas emissions (CO2), helping reduceclimate change or global warming.

Secured and Stable Supplyprices and supply immune from black-out, price increase &market manipulation.

Energy Independenceby becoming your own power producer.

Abundant Supplysunlight is free and abundant

Competitive Costno oil, gasoline or mechanicaL engine to run the system, governmentrebates & tax credits on system purchase.

Minimum or no maintenance

Easy Deployment rural, mountains & other remote areas.

Solar Power Equipment in Daet District Jail is a standalone system

where the power supply is generated from the Solar PV Panels and stored

in the Battery to supplement the AC or DC load. SPE served as power bank

of emergency light and charger of cell phones, laptops, tablets and other

similar gadgets during power interruption.

Installation of Solar Power Equipment at Daet District Jail was

materialized thru concerted initiatives of J/SINSP GERARDO S BERDIN,

District Jail Warden (DJW) and DDJ personnel. Inverter with solar charge

controller was courtesy of DJW, provision of solar panel was thru

monetary contribution of DJW and DDJ personnel and using of supposed

junked batteryfrom DDJ Foton Van.

Specification:

Solar Panel 80 watts, can

charge battery 12 volts within seven

to eight hours.

o The more panel, the

faster and powerful solar charge.

Inverter 300 wattage

maximum capacity (150 watts

advisable load with 150 watts

protection factor to avoid overload.)

Battery12Volts 70Amperes

o

The more battery the

better as it would multiply the

storage power capacity.

o

The standard battery for

solar power system is called DEEP

CYCLED BATTERY, but to maximize

the resources, we make use of the

supposed junk and old battery from

DDJ Foton Van.

Solar controller10 amperes

o This is used to avoid

overcharging of solar power to the

battery and prolong battery life.

This SPE lighted the admin building and front of penology building

during power interruption at night. We wish for this initiative to gain

support from the top and DDJ to be a model solar powered facility.

This newly constructed grotto at DDJ compound is lighted by a rechargeable

solar lamp at night and is recharged by sunlight during daytime.

RECHARGEABLE SOLAR LAMP is another solar product introduced by DJW.

DDJ personnel now also have rechargeable solar lamps to serve asemergency lights in their homes. They found it useful, safe and impressive.

This is only at Daet District Jail.!

The first jail in the Philippines to promote solar energy as source of power.

DDJ envisioned itself as a fully solar powered facility and be known as the

pioneer to promote solar energy as source of power.
