This research introduces new, renewable power production technology using solar energy as driving energy source using four main mechanical components; those are flat plate collector, cooling tank, hydro turbine unit and piping system including nozzle and diffuser. The combination of those four unit form closed system which can produce micro electric power. The proposed work in this research is renewable and non-pollutant thermo-syphon system solar energy electric power generation which is new technology.
Expected outcome of the research is to produce micro electric power for the rural community at the level of household electric power demand, which is used to lightning and charging of small electrical equipment's with viable reduction of biomass and fossil fuel used for lightning.
This research mainly focus on the rising of water in collector pipe by means of density difference and delivered into cooling tank, which can cool hot water coming from the collector and then give potential energy to drive turbine, set on the bottom position 1.35 meter away from the cooling tank. Working fluid circulate in the system using thermo syphon principle. Sun power serves as the driving force to generate thermal energy on the flat plat collector and it raise temperature of water at 51oc. This variation of temperature in the system develop 2.4cm height variation between the solar collector and cooling tank side, variation of height make flow of water from top of collector riser pipes to cooling tank (reservoir) by means of gravity.
