DAET DISTRICT JAIL
THE MOST INNOVATIVE JAIL NATIONWIDE! ON THE 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 IN in 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 solar panels which has arrangement of PV or solar cells that are exposed to sunlight and convert it to electricity in the form of direct current (DC). The DC Power is stored into Batteries through a Charge Controller. The DC Power is passed through an Inverter that converts the DC power into alternating current (AC) which can be used for household lighting and run appliances. Bigger systems can be used to supply power for industrial and commercial use.
Typically, the batteries will be charged during daytime and the stored power will be consumed at night time. The PV systems components specifications and sizes will depend on the size of the load.
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 reduce climate change or global warming. Secured and Stable Supply prices and supply immune from black-out, price increase & market manipulation. Energy Independence by becoming your own power producer. Abundant Supply sunlight is free and abundant Competitive Cost no oil, gasoline or mechanicaL engine to run the system, government rebates & tax credits on system purchase. Minimum or no maintenance Easy Deployment rural, mountains & other remote areas. D D J S o l a r P o w e r e d E q u i p m e n t | 2
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 battery from 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.) Battery 12Volts 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 controller 10 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 as emergency 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.
