Until now, the Greens has been conducting a "connected" workshop to assemble the mini -solar power generation system, but there have been many voices saying "I want to take it home!"In response to such a voice, this time, a workshop to make!

The place is Little Tokyo in Toranomon, Tokyo = We.With Mr. Sasaki of Fujino Electric Power as a lecturer, we cooperated with all the participants to create a mini solar power generation system.

Handmade electricity like DIY!

In the first place, some people may say, "What is a mini solar power generation system?"In a nutshell, it's an assembly kit that uses a 50W solar panel and battery with a 50W output.

Electricity generated by solar panels can be used directly by connecting appliances.How much electricity can be made is that if you fully charge the battery, if you charge 6W LED lighting or smartphone, a small laptop 4 hours (50W solar panel, 12V 32Ah/20HR deep cycle battery.(Approximately a guide when using).

Make this small "power plant", bring it home, and use it!That is the purpose of this workshop.In the past, you can see the articles of the workshops held in Green Drinks Boso and Green Drinks Matsudo.It is an image of handmade electricity like DIY.

We meet at the Electric Power Museum!

On the afternoon of September 22 (Sun), seven participants gathered at "We Electric Power Museum".Each of them varies in occupation, age and interest.In the distance, some people participated from Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture!

There are three people who actually make it and bring it home.The other four people visit and help.It is quite difficult to do all the work alone, so we will work together to work together.

This time, Hironobu Sasaki of Fujino Electric Power was the lecture.Participants naturally smile at the upper narrative with a joke.

In fact, Sasaki -san doesn't work on electricity, and he doesn't have a special qualification.Of course, you have the knowledge of the electrical mechanism and the system safely, but he is not the "professional" on the road."That's why it's okay," says Sasaki.

It's fun to actually try!

After Sasaki's story, the workshop starts immediately!Use a special pliers called electric pliers to enter the cable film.

It is easy to prevent the core wire passing through the center, and if you pull out too much power, the coating will not be removed.There are various people who can afford and a little hard, but we will work while lending each other.

"It's the same procedure as a bicycle tube."

Is the assembly work close to the feeling of making a plastic model?If you cut the cable and connect it as shown in the instructions, you can feel that it will gradually approach the completed form.Mr. Sasaki explained what role each equipment had, so it seemed that the participants were able to work while convincing each one.

"Which one -oh! Perfect!"

"Does the electricity generated by the panel accumulate in the battery through this cable?"Some participants checked the flow of electricity while following the cable with their fingers.

Usually, when you buy electricity from an electric power company, you just put the equipment into the outlet and use it, and you don't know how to make electricity or where the electricity comes from.However, the mini -solar power generation system has a very simple configuration, so you can see where the electricity is made and how it is being transported.It seems that "invisible" electricity becomes "visible".

In the first place, what are we electricity hall?

If you connect the cable to the charge controller and the battery, the first half of the work will be completed.When I took a break ... Suddenly, what is "We Electric Power Museum" among Greenz.jp readers?Some people think that?(Muri? Lol)

So, I asked Nao Suzuki, a namer and Greenz.jp.

Q. What is "We Electric Power"?

Suzuki: The energy that has become so central and has become a distant energy -regain our hands, and let's take care of each and every one of them!The nationwide movement is "We Electric Power".

I want to support everyone who wants to make energy myself.Specifically, we are working to expand this movement nationwide through a workshop that assembles a handmade solar power generation system.

Q.

I think it's exciting to make Suzuki Electric.The place to convey the excitement is here, "Little Tokyo".If you live in the Kanto region, you may have been to "Electric Power Museum" in Shibuya, Tokyo.Although it is a PR facility of TEPCO, the exciting thoughts of going here when I was young are still memorable.

I want to deliver an experience that makes my heart dance in the same way in Little Tokyo.With that in mind, I named it as a kind of parody (laughs).By the way, the main building of "We Electric Power Museum" is a kind of Fujino Electric Power's "Makigo Lab" in Fujino, Kanagawa Prefecture, its home base.

Q. What kind of feeling is "exciting to make electricity"?

Suzuki: It's like playing grass baseball or grass soccer.I'm not a professional, but it would be fun if I play myself.Similarly, assemble your own solar power system and use it so you want to use it.If you connect it to various appliances, you can see that "this is usable" or "This is a little impossible".Then you can understand electricity with your skin.Although it is not a professional electrician, you can handle electricity freely.I feel like my own.I think it will lead to an exciting feeling.

Q. "We Electric Power Museum" is located in the middle of Tokyo in Toranomon.

I think Suzuki Tokyo 23 wards are a kind of blank ward.It is a city where there is no reality to make electricity on its own.That's why I think it makes sense to practice electricity handmade.We will continue to hold workshops!I'm sure it's fun!

Finally completed!

By the way, in the second half of the workshop, we will connect each equipment one after another.In the first half, I got used to the work itself and was very smooth.A teamwork that cooperates in work has begun to be born.

"I'm glad if you turn it on properly."　

After connecting all the cables and turning the solar panel over, the "Charge" lamp of the charge controller lights up, and when the DC LED bulb is connected to the cigar socket, the light turns on.The system is successfully assembled, and everyone looks very happy.

"If you create a mini -solar power generation system, will you create a sense of" love "electricity?""It's up to you," he concluded the end of the workshop.

How did the three groups actually brought back the mini solar power generation system received the workshop experience?

Three people from Mie Prefecture

Men of human resource development instructors

Two people participated by friends

Those who brought back the mini -solar power generation system enjoy the power generation life.Share how to enjoy it, and your friends will spread again.It would be nice if the electricity of electricity would spread like that.Why don't you participate in a workshop that will be held near you?
