4- Off-Grid PV Solar System, March 2014; 200 watts Off-grid solar power system. It was designed and built by me for academic purposes. Project URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US7ZH3fbs-I.
5- Control system of 220V feeders using PV system, December 2012; The purpose of this project is to control a 220V feeders using a Micro-controller as the logical unit. The control unit was connected to a PV system with a battery. So, you need to enter a password using the pad to access the system, then you can turn on/off any feeder, you can also set a timer. In this project, I employed three concepts: micro-controller, electric circuits and PV system.
6- A New Design of a Table Lamp Powered by Solar power System, January 2015; In this project I designed and built a table lamp for home use. It produces electricity by itself using a stand-alone PV system instead of using the utility power.
7- An Automatic Street Lighting Using An Off-Grid Solar Power System, May 2015; In this project I designed a photovoltaic solar power system to power an LED light. This system converts solar energy to electricity [DC Electricity] using a photovoltaic module. I considered Bridgeport City, USA as the location to design the system. I used a light/dark circuit (LDR sensor) in order to detect if it is night or not to turn on/off the light.
8- Four Ways Traffic Light Using PIC 16f877, October 2011; I used C language to program the PIC.
9- A New Electronic Device To Measure The Length & Distance Using PIC 16f877, May 2011; Project URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVLiF4leVW0.
