1. Entwodiksyon — Ki Sa Biznis Sa a Ye, ak Poukisa Li Enpòtan
Ou sou pwen kòmanse yon ti biznis ki transfòme limyè solèy an lajan. Kyòs ou a se yon estasyon enèji ALLPOWERS R600, mare ak yon panno solè 220-wat. Li chaje telefòn ak lòt ti aparèy pou kliyan ki pa gen okenn lòt fason pou chaje yo. Nan anpil zòn riral Ayiti, rezo elektrik la pa fyab oswa li pa rive menm. Kyòs ou a ranpli vid sa a — epi li peye ou pou sa.
Manyèl sa a se gid ou. Li eksplike kijan ekipman ou fonksyone, poukisa li konpòte l konsa, ak kijan ou ka pran desizyon entelijan chak jou ki ogmante revni ou. Ou pa bezwen yon diplòm nan jeni pou jere byen biznis sa a. Ou bezwen konprann kèk lide debaz sou solèy, batri, ak elektrisite — epi manyèl sa a ap montre ou lide sa yo nan lang senp, ak vrè chif ki soti nan pwòp ekipman ou.
Sik Biznis an Kat Etap
Chak jou, kyòs ou a fè menm sik senp sa a:
- Ekipe — Ou gen yon estasyon enèji R600 ak yon panno solè pliyab 220W, yo ba ou l atravè yon mikwo-kredi.
- Deplwaye — Ou enstale nan yon mache riral, yon kafou, oswa yon lekòl kote pa gen kouran fyab.
- Sèvi — Ou chaje telefòn epi lwe zouti pwodiktif pandan tout jounen an.
- Rechaje — Panno solè a ranpli batri ou pandan w ap sèvi kliyan yo. Ou pa oblije sispann sèvi kliyan pou rechaje.
Melanj Revni Ou
Se pa tout kliyan ki peye menm kantite lajan, e se pa tout sèvis ki sèvi ak menm kantite nan enèji jounalye limite ou. Panse a ofrisyon ou yo an twa nivo:
- Ankraj gwo volim: chaje telefòn ak telefòn debaz. Kliyan frekan, kou enèji ba, revni estab chak jou.
- Ekstra chak jou: tablèt, radyo, lanp, ti aparèy medikal, lwaye WiFi.
- Prim / okazyonèl: machin a koud, tondèz cheve, laptop, ak enèji pou evènman. Sa yo koute plis paske yo sèvi ak plis nan enèji jounalye ki ra ou a — fikse pri yo avèk atansyon, pa tankou sèvis woutin.
✔ PWEN KLE — Sa Sa Vle Di pou Biznis Ou
• Biznis kyòs ou a fonksyone sou yon sik senp chak jou: ekipe, deplwaye, sèvi, epi rechaje — tout an menm tan.
• Chaje telefòn se revni estab ou chak jou. Aparèy ki pi gwo yo se sèvis okazyonèl, ak pri prim.
• Konprann vrè limit ekipman ou se sa k ap fè w fè plis lajan, pa senpleman travay plis lè.
2. Ekipman an — Ki Sa R600 Ye ak Kijan Li Fonksyone
Kyòs ou a gen twa pati prensipal k ap travay ansanm: yon panno solè ki kolekte enèji, yon estasyon enèji ki estoke epi jere enèji sa a, ak pò chaje kote kliyan yo ka pran aparèy yo. Konprann sa chak pati fè — ak sa li pa fè — se fondasyon pou jere yon kyòs pwofitab.
Estasyon Enèji ALLPOWERS R600 — Espesifikasyon Konfime
| Espesifikasyon | Valè | Sa Sa Vle Di pou Ou |
|---|---|---|
| Kapasite batri ki make sou aparèy la | 299 Wh | Chif ki parèt sou ekran/jòj batri a. |
| Kapasite itilizab (teste nan laboratwa) | 250 Wh | Sa ou ka reyèlman bay kliyan yo anvan aparèy la fèmen. |
| Chimi batri a | LiFePO4 | Yon tip batri solid, ki dire lontan, klase pou 3,500+ sik chajman (anviwon 5–7 lane si w itilize li chak jou nan lavi reyèl). |
| Sòti kouran AC | 600W kontinyèl / 1,200W pik (surtansyon kout) | Limit maksimòm pouvwa pou tout sa ki konekte nan 2 pri AC yo. |
| Total pò sòti | 7 enstale nan aparèy la (2 AC + 5 USB/san fil) | Anvan ou ajoute ib eksteryè yo rekòmande a. |
| Panno solè ki asosye | 220W | Konekte atravè antre XT60 la. |
| Pwa | 5.6–5.8 kg | Ase lejè pou yon sèl moun pote l epi ranje l chak swa. |
Enstalasyon Pò Rekòmande — 13 Pò Chajman
R600 pou kont li gen 7 pò sòti. Enstalasyon kyòs yo rekòmande a ajoute yon ib chajman AC eksteryè ak 10 pò (konekte nan youn nan 2 pri AC yo), pandan l kenbe 3 nan pò ki deja nan aparèy la lib pou sèvis prim, rapid (1 pò chaj rapid USB-C ak 2 pò USB-A). Sa ba ou 13 pò chajman antou.
⚠ Pa Ajoute Yon Dezyèm Ib
• Li tantan pou ajoute yon dezyèm ib 10-pò pou sèvi plis kliyan an menm tan. Pa fè sa.
• Panno solè 220W ou a pa ka bay kouran pou de ib ansanm epi rechaje batri a nan menm tan — yon dezyèm ib ta fè batri ou pèdi anviwon 112 wat chak jou san rete.
• Sa vide rezèv aswè ou, li diminye lavi travay batri ou, epi li riske lakòz yon blakawout mitan-apremidi pou kliyan yo.
• Se bidjè enèji a — pa kantite pri yo — ki limite kantite kliyan ou ka sèvi. Gade Seksyon 6 pou chif yo.
Figi 1 — Kijan Enèji Sikile nan Kyòs Ou
Remake byen: aparèy ki konekte nan pri yo pran kouran dirèkteman nan solèy la atravè bis DC a. Batri a sèlman resevwa sa ki rete. Se poutèt sa batri a se yon rezèv sekou, se pa prensipal sous enèji pandan lajounen.
Kenbe Ekipman Ou an Sekirite: Règ Lonbraj la
Batri R600 ou a dwe rete nan lonbraj tout tan l ap fonksyone. Batri LiFePO4 kòmanse ap ralanti oswa fèmen kou tanperati anndan yo depase anviwon 45–50°C. Yon bwat estasyon enèji nwa ki chita anba solèy Ayisyen dirèk ka rive 60°C oswa plis — byen pi wo pase liy sekirite sa a, nan yon jounen òdinè. Sa a se pa yon bagay ki ra; se sa k ap rive chak jou ou kite aparèy la san kouvèti.
✔ PWEN KLE — Sa Sa Vle Di pou Biznis Ou
• Kyòs ou a se yon estasyon enèji R600, yon panno 220W, ak 13 pò chajman (1 ib + 3 ki deja nan aparèy la). Se sa sèlman — pa ajoute yon dezyèm ib.
• Batri itilizab 250Wh la, pa chif 299Wh ki make sou aparèy la, se vrè bidjè jounalye ou.
• Kenbe aparèy la nan lonbraj tout tan l ap fonksyone. Chalè se pi gwo menas pou lavi travay ekipman ou.
3. Prensip Syans de Baz — Konprann Enèji Ou
Ou pa bezwen se yon elektrisyen pou jere kyòs sa a byen. Men, kèk lide debaz sou solèy, batri, ak elektrisite ap ede w pran desizyon pi entelijan chak jou — desizyon ki mete plis lajan nan pòch ou.
3.1 Enèji Solè: Kijan Panno yo Kaptire Limyè Solèy
Panno solè 220W ou a klase pou pwodiksyon maksimòm li anba kondisyon ki pafè: solèy dirèk anwo tèt, yon panno ki pwòp, ak bon ang. Nan kondisyon reyèl, ou pa janm jwenn tout 220W pandan tout jounen an. Twa bagay diminye li:
Lè solèy pik yo: kantite lè pa jou kote limyè solèy la fò ase pou konte kòm "pouvwa total." Ayiti anjeneral jwenn ant 5 ak 5.5 lè solèy pik pa jou — sa pa menm bagay ak kantite lè solèy la anlè.
Diminisyon panno a: yon pèt anviwon 20% ant pwodiksyon panno a klase pou li ak sa ki reyèlman rive nan ekipman ou, akoz ang solèy la, chalè, pousyè sou panno a, ak elektwonik ki konvèti pouvwa a. Se poutèt sa rekòt solè jounalye ou se 220W × 5.5 lè × 80%, se pa 220W × 5.5 lè.
Lonbraj ak pousyè: menm yon ti lonbraj oswa yon sifas panno ki plen pousyè diminye pwodiksyon ou plis toujou. Yon panno ki nan lonbraj konplè pwodui prèske anyen.
Fè kalkil la: 220W × 5.5 lè solèy pik × 80% kaptasyon ≈ 968 wat-lè (Wh) enèji solè yo rekòlte nan yon jounen tipik. Chif sa a se bidjè depa ou — anvan nenpòt pèt anndan batri a oswa envètè a.
3.2 Estokaj Batri: Poukisa Batri a Se Pa Yon Dezyèm Sous Enèji
Li tantan pou panse a batri a tankou enèji anplis sou sa solèy la bay. Se pa vre. Batri a se yon veso ki deplase enèji nan tan — li kenbe enèji ki soti pi bonè nan jounen an pou w ka vann li apre fènwa tonbe. Chak wat-lè ou retire nan batri a lannwit dwe ranplase avèk limyè solèy demen anvan ou ka sèvi avè l ankò.
Kapasite itilizab: R600 ou a klase pou 299Wh, men tès endepandan an laboratwa jwenn li sèlman livre 250Wh yon fason fyab anvan l fèmen. Toujou planifye avèk 250Wh, pa 299Wh.
Efikasite ale-retou: chaje epi apre sa dechaje yon batri toujou pèdi yon ti enèji kòm chalè — anviwon 10% pou R600 la. Pou ranpli 250Wh nan batri a, ou reyèlman dwe depanse anviwon 278Wh enèji solè (250 ÷ 0.90).
Se poutèt sa kouche solèy se lè ki pi pwofitab pou ou, se pa moman kote ekipman ou "poze." Lè aswè yo (6:00–10:00 PM) se lè demand pi fò pou limyè, chaje telefòn, ak WiFi — epi si batri ou pa plen lè solèy kouche, ou pèdi anviwon 30–40% nan potansyèl revni jounen an. Erezman, nan operasyon nòmal, batri a ranpli tèt li otomatikman nan kòmansman-mitan apremidi (yon fwa kouri chaje nan maten an bese), byen anvan gwo demand aswè a.
3.3 Baz Elektrisite: Vòlt, Wat, ak Wat-Lè
Twa lide senp ki eksplike tout bagay sou kantite ou ka chaje, ak pou konbyen tan:
Pouvwa (Wat, W): a ki vitès enèji ap itilize oswa livre kounye a — tankou vitès dlo k ap koule nan yon tiyo. Yon smartphone k ap chaje a 15W ap pran enèji pi vit pase yon telefòn debaz k ap chaje a 5W.
Enèji (Wat-lè, Wh): total kantite pouvwa ki itilize sou tan — tankou total kantite dlo ki pase nan tiyo a. Wat × lè = wat-lè. Yon smartphone k ap chaje a 15W pou 1 lè itilize anviwon 15Wh.
Vòltaj (Vòlt, V): "presyon" ki pouse elektrisite a nan sistèm nan. R600 ou a ak chajè li yo jere konvèsyon sa a otomatikman — ou pa bezwen jere vòltaj ou menm, men se poutèt sa itilize move kab oswa yon chajè domaje ka gaspiye enèji oswa domaje yon aparèy.
Fòmil ki pi enpòtan nan tout biznis sa a se: Enèji = Pouvwa × Tan. Yon aparèy ki pran ti pouvwa men ki chaje pou yon tan long (tankou yon lanp LED lwe pou 5 lè) ka sèvi ak plis nan enèji jounalye ki ra ou a pase yon aparèy ki pran anpil pouvwa pou yon tan kout (tankou tondèz cheve yo itilize pou 15 minit). Seksyon 4 montre egzakteman poukisa sa enpòtan pou pri.
3.4 Sa Ki Afekte Pèfòmans Jounalye Ou
- Lè solèy — plis lè solèy pik vle di plis enèji pou vann. Ranje reyalis an Ayiti se 5.0 a 6.0 lè solèy pik pa jou.
- Move tan ak sezon — sezon lapli Ayiti a (Jen–Novanm) ka diminye rekòt solè ou anviwon 20%, sa fè bidjè jounalye net ou desann apeprè soti 590Wh rive 396Wh. Planifye pou pi ba revni nan jou lapli ak pandan sezon lapli a.
- Lonbraj — pyebwa, bilding, oswa nwaj ki pase sou panno a diminye pwodiksyon imedyatman. Toujou mete panno ou kote li jwenn solèy total, san anyen ki bloke l.
- Pousyè ak salte sou panno a — yon panno sal kaptire mwens limyè. Siye l regilyèman.
- Ang panno a — yon panno ki fè fas dirèkteman ak solèy la kaptire plis enèji pase youn ki kouche plat oswa ki panche alekri.
- Chalè sou batri a li menm — sonje, sa diminye vitès chajman epi li ka fèmen aparèy la, anplis li diminye kaptasyon solè.
- Chaj kliyan — plis itilizasyon pandan jounen an pa diminye total bidjè jounalye ou, men li ka fè reta nan moman batri a rive plen.
Figi 2 — Kote Enèji Solè Jounen an Reyèlman Ale
Remake byen: 968Wh panno ou a rekòlte a pa rive nan men kliyan yo antyeman. Anviwon 278Wh mete akote pou ranpli batri a pou aswè, epi anviwon 100Wh pèdi nan fè envètè a ak ib la fonksyone. Sa ki rete — anviwon 590Wh — se vrè bidjè vann ou chak jou.
✔ PWEN KLE — Sa Sa Vle Di pou Biznis Ou
• Bidjè enèji jounalye itilizab ou se anviwon 590Wh — se pa 968Wh panno ou rekòlte a, ni chif 299Wh ki make sou batri a.
• Enèji = Pouvwa × Tan. Yon aparèy ki pran ti pouvwa men k ap fonksyone pou yon tan long ka koute w plis kapasite pase yon aparèy ki pran anpil pouvwa pou yon ti tan.
• Move tan, lonbraj, pousyè, ak chalè tout diminye vrè pwodiksyon ou. Pwoteje panno ak batri ou kont sa yo se yon desizyon pou fè lajan, se pa sèlman antretyen ekipman.
4. Kijan Biznis la Fè Lajan — Modèl Revni an
Kyòs ou a fè lajan yon sesyon chajman alafwa. Yon kliyan peye yon pri fiks, li konekte aparèy li, epi bidjè enèji ou desann selon kantite aparèy la konsome. Konprann relasyon ant pri ak enèji se sa k fè diferans ant yon kyòs ki jis siviv ak yon lòt ki maksimize revni avèk menm ekipman an.
Lide Prensipal la: Dansite Revni
Gade sèlman pri yon sèvis ka twonpe ou. Yon lwaye pouvwa evènman a HTG 300 sanble gen plis valè pase yon sesyon tondèz a HTG 20 — men lwaye evènman an ka sèvi ak tout bidjè enèji jounen an nan yon sèl sesyon. Vrè mezi pwofitabilite a se Dansite Revni: kantite lajan ou fè pou chak wat-lè nan enèji jounalye limite ou a.
Dansite Revni (HTG/Wh) = Pri pou chak sesyon ÷ Enèji itilize pou chak sesyon
Egzanp travay: yon sistèm ogo (PA) lwe pou HTG 300 men li sèvi ak 600Wh — yon dansite revni de sèlman 0.50 HTG/Wh. Tondèz cheve lwe pou sèlman HTG 20 men yo sèvi ak sèlman 3.1Wh — yon dansite revni de 6.40 HTG/Wh. Ogo a fè 15 fwa plis lajan pou chak sesyon, men tondèz la fè prèske 13 fwa plis lajan pou chak wat-lè nan kapasite batri ki ra ou a.
Figi 3 — Pi Bon ak Pi Move Itilizasyon nan Enèji Jounalye Ou
Remake byen: pri pou kont li pa detèmine pwofitabilite. Tondèz cheve ak telefòn debaz — toulède se sèvis bon mache, rapid — se pi bon itilizasyon enèji ou. Yon frijidè oswa yon dril elektrik, menm si pri yo pi wo, se pi move itilizasyon enèji ou. Dirije kliyan yo vè lis bò goch la lè ou kapab.
Pri Konfime Ou
Chaje telefòn — toulède smartphone ak telefòn debaz — gen yon pri fiks a HTG 25 pou chak sesyon. Paske yon telefòn debaz sèvi ak pi mwens enèji pase yon smartphone pou chaje nèt, sesyon telefòn debaz yo se sèvis ki pi byen pèfòme pou ou sou baz revni-pou-chak-Wh. Pri fiks HTG 25 sa a se tou to referans ou: anviwon 5.56 HTG/Wh. Sèvi avè l pou jije si yon sèvis nouvo oswa etranj gen yon pri jis.
Pri referans: sa yon sesyon aparèy ta koute si yo fikse pri li nan menm to ak yon chaj telefòn debaz. Si vrè pri yon aparèy pi ba anpil pase pri referans li, ou ka ap vann li twò bon mache — lanp LED se yon bon egzanp, li gen pri HTG 30 pandan ke vrè kou enèji li ta jistifye pi pre HTG 111.
Poukisa Revni Chak Jou Varye: Se Itilizasyon, Pa Ekipman
Teknikman, ekipman ou ka sipòte jiska 590Wh nan vant pa jou. Si ou reyèlman vann tout kantite sa a depann de to itilizasyon — pòsyon nan bidjè enèji jounalye ou kliyan yo reyèlman achte. Se trafik moun, pa kapasite ekipman ou, ki detèmine to itilizasyon an.
Figi 4 — Revni nan Diferan Nivo Itilizasyon (312 jou operasyon pa lane)
Remake byen: menm yon jou ak trafik ba a 50% itilizasyon (anviwon $1,920/lane) depase konfòtableman liy pòv ekstrèm la. Ka de baz 65% itilizasyon se sa manyèl sa a itilize toupatou ailleurs — men pouse itilizasyon vè 75–100% depann antyèman de ou, atravè pratik yo nan Seksyon 5 ak 8.
| Itilizasyon | Enèji Vann | Revni Jounalye | Revni Anyèl | Sa Li Reprezante |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | 295 Wh | HTG 800 | $1,920 | Trafik fèb — nivo minimòm prudan |
| 65% | 384 Wh | HTG 1,050 | $2,520 | KA DE BAZ itilize toupatou nan manyèl sa a |
| 75% | 443 Wh | HTG 1,200 | $2,880 | Bon trafik |
| 100% | 590 Wh | HTG 1,600 | $3,840 | Limit maksimòm — limite pa enèji, pa pa pò |
✔ PWEN KLE — Sa Sa Vle Di pou Biznis Ou
• Dansite Revni (pri ÷ enèji itilize) — pa pri sèlman — montre ou ki sèvis ki vo lapèn ofri tout bon.
• Chaje telefòn a HTG 25 se toulède revni ou ki pi estab ak youn nan sèvis ou ki pi byen pèfòme pou chak wat-lè.
• Revni ou depann anpil plis de kantite kliyan ou sèvi pase de ekipman an li menm. Se nan itilizasyon efò jounalye ou peye.
5. Pratik Operasyon yo Sijere
Bon abitid chak jou pwoteje toulède ekipman ou ak revni ou. Paske estasyon enèji a se sèl sous revni ou, chak pratik ki anba a retounen nan yon sèl lide: si ekipman an sispann, biznis la sispann.
Figi 5 — Yon Jounen Kyòs ki Byen Jere
Remake byen chanjman ki fèt nan mitan jounen an: kouri chaje nan maten an pran dirèkteman nan solèy la, kalmi apremidi a se lè batri a trankilman ranpli rive 100%, epi fenèt aswè a fonksyone prèske antyèman sou rezèv sa a ki estoke. Manke wè modèl sa a se pi gwo kòz yon revni fèb nan aswè.
Jere Aparèy Chak Jou
- Enstale nan lonbraj ak bon sikilasyon lè. Pa janm kite aparèy la anba solèy dirèk — sèvi ak yon tonèl vantile oswa yon do machin/kabwèt.
- Leve aparèy la sou tè a, sou yon estan oswa yon platfòm, lwen pousyè ak imidite.
- Pa janm bloke twou aerasyon yo. Vantilatè entèn refwadisman an bezwen yon chemen lib pou lè antre epi soti tout tan.
- Pa janm kouvri yon aparèy k ap fonksyone ak yon prela solid. Yon kouvèti fèmen kenbe chalè epi li ka lakòz aparèy la chofe twòp menm nan lonbraj.
- Siye aparèy la ak panno solè a chak semenn. Pousyè ki akimile sou panno a diminye pwodiksyon li; pousyè anndan twou aerasyon yo kenbe chalè.
- Rale aparèy la anndan chak swa. Pousyè, imidite, ak risk vòl Ayiti yo ap domaje oswa fè ou pèdi yon aparèy ki rete deyò nan yon epòk kout.
Jere Enstalasyon Chajman an
- Sèvi ak kab USB-C sètifye ki kout (anviwon 0.5m). Kab long oswa move kalite lakòz bès vòltaj, chajman pi lan, epi yo pi fasil pou yo vòlè.
- Kenbe telefòn yo an sekirite nan yon plato ki fèmen ak kle pandan y ap chaje, pou anpeche vòl oswa melanj.
- Chwazi panno solè rijid pito pase sa yo ki pliyab pou yon kyòs pèmanan. Panno rijid yo reziste UV ak chalè Ayiti pandan plizyè ane; panno pliyab yo fann, kase, epi yo gate pi vit malgre yo koute apeprè twa fwa plis chè.
Pwoteje Fenèt Aswè a
Paske 6:00–10:00 PM se fenèt ou ki bay pi gwo pwofi (limyè, chaje telefòn, WiFi, ti televizyon), asire w batri a vrèman plen anvan mitan apremidi. Nan operasyon nòmal, sa fèt otomatikman yon fwa kouri chaje maten an bese — men si ou remake batri a pa rive plen anvan bonè apremidi, konsidere sa kòm yon siyal davètisman (gade Seksyon 7) olye pou ou inyore l.
Jere Aparèy ki Sèvi ak Anpil Enèji
Aparèy tankou blenndè, plak chofaj, sistèm ogo, dril, ak ti frijidè konsome yon gwo pòsyon nan bidjè jounalye ou nan yon sèl sesyon. Trete yo kòm sèvis okazyonèl, ak pri prim — pa janm kòm ofrisyon woutin, san randevou. Seksyon 8 gen konsèy espesifik sou pri.
Orè Chak Jou
| Lè | Aktivite |
|---|---|
| 8:00 AM | Enstale kyòs la: deplwaye/mete panno a nan solèy total, mete estasyon enèji a nan lonbraj, konekte ib la ak kab yo. |
| 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM | Kouri maten/mitan jounen: aparèy yo pran kouran dirèkteman nan panno a. Batri a ranpli tèt li ak sa ki rete. |
| 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Kalmi apremidi: batri a dwe rive plen. Bon moman pou netwayaj chak semenn si se jou sa a. |
| 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Pik aswè: limyè, chaje, lwaye WiFi — fenèt ki bay pi gwo pwofi ou a, ki fonksyone sou rezèv batri a. |
| 8:00 PM | Ranmase: dekonekte, sekirize kab yo, mennen panno a ak estasyon enèji a anndan pou lannwit lan. |
✔ PWEN KLE — Sa Sa Vle Di pou Biznis Ou
• Lonbraj, bon sikilasyon lè, ak yon kote sèk, elve, pwoteje lavi travay batri ou — sa se yon desizyon pou fè lajan, se pa sèlman antretyen.
• Fenèt aswè a (6–10 PM) se lè ou vann pi byen. Asire w batri a plen anvan li rive.
• Rale aparèy la anndan chak swa. Se sèl byen ou genyen k ap pwodui revni.
6. Chif Kle yo & Kapasite
Seksyon sa a mete ansanm chif enpòtan yo dèyè kyòs ou a — konbyen ou ka reyèlman vann nan yon jounen, ak pou konbyen tan chak aparèy ka fonksyone.
Bidjè Enèji Jounalye Ou
| Etap | Kalkil | Rezilta |
|---|---|---|
| Rekòt solè brit | Panno 220W × 5.5 lè solèy pik × 80% kaptasyon | ≈ 968 Wh |
| Retire: rechaje batri | Rezèv 250Wh ÷ 90% efikasite ale-retou | − 278 Wh |
| Retire: depans envètè/ib | Konsomasyon repo + pèt konvèsyon pandan ib AC a ap fonksyone | − 100 Wh |
| Bidjè nèt pou chaje kliyan | Rekòt brit mwens toulède dediksyon yo | ≈ 590 Wh / chak jou |
Chif 590Wh sa a se yon chif planifikasyon, se pa yon limit teknik ki fiks — jounen reyèl yo ap varye selon move tan ak ang solèy la. Ranje reyalis la se 5.0–6.0 lè solèy pik, epi yon gwo diminisyon sezon lapli (~20%) ka fè bidjè nèt la desann rive apeprè 396Wh/jou. Toujou planifye avèk prudans pandan sezon lapli Ayiti a (Jen–Novanm).
Sesyon pa Jou
Nan 100% itilizasyon, bidjè ≈590Wh ou a sipòte anviwon 64 sesyon chaje telefòn pa jou, ak yon mwayèn melanje anviwon 9.2Wh pou chak sesyon (baze sou yon melanj kliyan 35% smartphone / 65% telefòn debaz). Enstalasyon 13-pò ou a ka fizikman resevwa anviwon 129 sesyon pa jou — sa vle di bidjè enèji ou fini byen anvan pò ou yo. Se poutèt sa ajoute plis pò pa t ap ogmante revni ou, men ajoute plis lè solèy oswa itilizasyon ta fè sa.
Figi 6 — Pi Move Ka pou Dire sou Rezèv Batri Sèlman (San Solèy)
Remake byen gwo diferans ki genyen ant aparèy ki pran ti enèji ak sa ki pran anpil enèji. Yon lanp oswa yon telefòn ka fonksyone pou pifò nan yon jounen sou rezèv la sèlman; yon blenndè fin ak prèske tout rezèv la nan anviwon inè de tan. Sa a se nivo minimòm "san solèy, apre fènwa" ou; dire lajounen yo pi long paske solèy la ap fè pifò nan travay la dirèkteman.
De Limit Diferan: Enèji kont Pò Fizik
Chak aparèy limite pa kèlkeswa limit ki rive an premye — bidjè enèji a, oswa kantite pò ak lè ki disponib. Sesyon kout, bon mache (tankou tondèz cheve oswa lwaye routeur WiFi) gen tandans fin ak pò oswa lè lajounen anvan yo fin ak enèji. Sesyon ki pi long oswa ki pran plis enèji (tankou smartphone oswa laptop) gen tandans fin ak enèji byen anvan pò yo.
| Aparèy | Limit Baze sou Enèji (sesyon/jou) | Limit Fizik (Pò) (sesyon/jou) | Vrè Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Routeur WiFi | 59.0 | 20 | Fizik — sèlman 2 pri AC disponib |
| Tondèz cheve | 188.8 | 160 | Fizik — fin ak lè lajounen anvan |
| Smartphone | 32.8 | 108.3 | Enèji — bidjè jounalye a fin anvan |
| Laptop | 5.4 | 20 | Enèji — sesyon long yo akimile vit |
Enplikasyon pratik: pou sèvis kout, bon mache oswa lwaye kanpe ak pa anpil pri, ajoute yon ralonj ogmante vrè limit ou. Pou sesyon ki pi long oswa ki pran plis enèji, plis pò p ap ede — enèji se vrè kontrent la.
✔ PWEN KLE — Sa Sa Vle Di pou Biznis Ou
• Limit maksimòm reyalis ou chak jou se anviwon 590Wh, oswa anviwon 64 sesyon chaje telefòn, nan itilizasyon total.
• Enstalasyon 13-pò ou a gen mas plas anplis — solèy la fini anvan pò yo.
• Konnen si yon sèvis limite pa enèji oswa limite pa pò anvan ou deside kijan pou devlope pati sa a nan biznis ou.
7. Pwoblèm Komen ak Kijan pou Evite oswa Rezoud Yo
Pwoblèm: Aparèy la chofe twòp oswa li fèmen
Kòz: solèy dirèk sou bwat la, twou aerasyon bloke, oswa yon kouvèti fèmen pandan l ap fonksyone. Solisyon: toujou fè l fonksyone anba yon tonèl ki nan lonbraj epi ki vantile; pa janm sèvi ak yon prela solid sou yon aparèy k ap fonksyone; kenbe aparèy la leve ak bon sikilasyon lè tout kote.
Pwoblèm: Yon jou nyaje oswa lapli koupe revni ou anpil
Kòz: enstalasyon debaz la pa gen okenn ranfò kont move tan ki enkli — yon jou ki byen nyaje diminye rekòt solè ou dirèkteman, san lòt rezèv pi lwen pase alokasyon 250Wh aswè nòmal la. Solisyon: sa a se yon bagay ou dwe atann, se pa yon defo. Planifye bidjè fanmi ou selon yon semenn mwayèn, pa yon sèl jounen ki fè solèy, epi atann yon revni pi ba pandan sezon lapli Ayiti a (Jen–Novanm).
Pwoblèm: Vòl oswa pèt ekipman an
Kòz: yon byen ki koute plis pase $400 k ap chita nan yon mache piblik se yon vrè sib. Solisyon: sèvi ak yon bwat depo ki an sekirite, yon chenn/kadna pou aparèy la limenm, epi retire ekipman an mete l anndan an sekirite chak swa san eksepsyon.
Pwoblèm: W ap vann yon sèvis twò bon mache san ou pa konnen
Kòz: fikse pri selon "sa ki sanble jis" olye de vrè enèji ki konsome. Solisyon: konpare pri sèvis la ak pri referans li (enèji itilize × 5.56 HTG/Wh, to telefòn debaz la). Si vrè pri a pi ba anpil pase referans la, konsidere ogmante li — lwaye lanp LED (ki gen pri 73% pi ba pase referans li) se yon egzanp komen.
Pwoblèm: Yon gwo demand aparèy nan men yon sèl kliyan manje tout bidjè jounen ou
Kòz: aparèy ki sèvi ak anpil enèji tankou sistèm ogo, plak chofaj, oswa frijidè konsome yon gwo pòsyon nan bidjè 590Wh la nan yon sèl sesyon — yon sesyon ogo pou kont li ka sèvi ak plis pase 100% nan bidjè jounalye net ou. Solisyon: trete yo kòm evènman ra, ak pri prim, planifye davans — pa janm kòm yon ofrisyon woutin, san randevou — epi reflechi byen anvan ou aksepte youn nan yon jou ou espere gen anpil trafik pou chaje telefòn.
Pwoblèm: Panse yon dezyèm ib chajman ap kite ou sèvi plis kliyan
Kòz: li sanble lojik ke plis pri ta dwe vle di plis vant. Solisyon: pa ajoute yon dezyèm ib. Panno 220W ou a pa ka bay kouran pou de ib e toujou rechaje batri a — yon dezyèm ib kreye yon defisi enèji chak jou ki vide rezèv aswè ou epi diminye lavi batri ou. Enstalasyon 13-pò ou a deja gen plis kapasite fizik pase sa bidjè enèji ou ka ranpli.
Pwoblèm: Batri a sanble li ap gate oswa kenbe mwens chaj avèk tan
Kòz: batri LiFePO4 klase pou 3,500+ sik chajman (anviwon 5–7 lane si w itilize li chak jou nan lavi reyèl), men chalè ak move manyen diminye sa. Solisyon: lonbraj konstan ak bon jan manyen pwoteje dire lavi sa a. Prevwa yon bidjè pou yon ranplasman batri evantyèl kòm yon depans nòmal nan biznis la, se pa yon sipriz.
⚠ Yon Nòt sou Aparèy Medikal ak Aparèy pou Lannwit
• Aparèy sa a pa ka sipòte yon sesyon CPAP pou tout lannwit lan — kapasite li fèt sèlman pou ranpli peye pou pati nan lannwit lan.
• Si yon kliyan nan kominote ou bezwen kouran pou yon aparèy medikal pandan tout lannwit lan, fè sa klè kliyeman olye pou ou pwomèt yon bagay ekipman an pa ka bay.
✔ PWEN KLE — Sa Sa Vle Di pou Biznis Ou
• Pifò pwoblèm yo retounen nan chalè, move tan, vòl, oswa move fiksasyon pri — tout bagay ou ka jere avèk bon abitid chak jou.
• Yon dezyèm ib ak aparèy ki sèvi ak anpil enèji ki pa byen jere se de fason ki pi komen operatè yo aksidantèlman domaje pwòp revni yo.
• Rete onèt ak kliyan yo sou sa ekipman an ka fè ak sa li pa ka fè, sitou pou aparèy medikal.
8. Konsèy Pratik pou Maksimize Revni
💡 Baze Jounen Ou sou Sèvis ki Gen Wo Dansite
• Chaje telefòn (HTG 25) ak tondèz cheve (HTG 20) se sèvis ou ki fè plis lajan pou chak wat-lè. Asire w yo toujou disponib epi pa janm refize yon kliyan poutèt pa gen pò lib.
• Telefòn debaz pèfòme pi byen pase smartphone pou chak wat-lè — pa dekouraje kliyan telefòn debaz yo menm si smartphone yo parèt gen plis "valè."
💡 Fikse Pri Sèvis Prim tankou Sèvis Prim
• Machin a koud, laptop, televizyon, ak enèji pou evènman dwe gen yon pri byen pi wo pase yon senp chaj telefòn — yo konsome anpil plis nan bidjè jounalye ki ra ou a.
• Sèvi ak to referans lan (5.56 HTG/Wh) kòm nivo minimòm ou lè w ap fikse yon pri jis pou yon demand aparèy nouvo oswa etranj.
💡 Pwoteje Fenèt Aswè a Anvan Tout Bagay
• 6:00–10:00 PM se moman jounen an ki bay ou pi gwo pwofi. Konfime batri a plen anvan mitan apremidi, epi pa planifye yon lwaye ki sèvi ak anpil enèji (tankou yon sistèm ogo) twò pre fenèt sa a.
💡 Swiv Sezon Lapli a Apa
• Atann yon bès anviwon 20% nan rekòt solè ou soti Jen rive Novanm. Pa dekouraje pa yon semenn ki pi fèb pandan sezon lapli a — sa a se sa ou dwe atann, se pa yon siy ke gen yon bagay ki kase.
💡 Revize Pri Ou yo Kòm Kou Lavi a ap Monte
• Enflasyon Ayiti a ap monte vit. Yon pri ki sanble jis jodi a ka bezwen ajiste nan kou ane a pou pwoteje vrè revni ou. Revize pri ou yo regilyèman selon kou lavi lokal ou.
💡 Divèsifye Otou Pwodwi Ankraj Ou
• Lwaye WiFi, chaje tablèt, ak chaje ti aparèy medikal se "ekstra chak jou" ki estab ki ajoute revni san yo pa fè gwo konpetisyon pou bidjè enèji ou.
💡 Kenbe Rapò Ou yo Ajou
• Resi dijital an tan reyèl pou chak vant se yon pati obligatwa nan pwogram sa a. Pi lwen pase obligasyon an, pwòp rejis vant ou yo se pi bon zouti ou genyen pou wè ki sèvis ak ki lè nan jounen ki fè ou pi plis lajan.
💡 Rete Disipline nan Peman Kredi Ou
• Yon vèsman fiks chak semenn pou kredi a (pa egzanp, 6 dola ameriken pa semenn) kite ou kenbe pi gwo majorite nan revni jounalye ou kòm vrè revni, pandan w ap toujou peye kredi ekipman ou selon yon orè predikitib.
9. Lis Kontwòl Senp ak Gid pou Pran Desizyon
Lis Kontwòl pou Louvri Chak Jou
- ☐ Mete panno solè a nan solèy total, san anyen ki bloke l.
- ☐ Mete estasyon enèji a nan lonbraj, leve, ak bon sikilasyon lè alantou l.
- ☐ Konekte ib 10-pò a epi konfime tout kab yo pa domaje.
- ☐ Tcheke ekran batri a — konfime li te chaje pandan lannwit lan oswa l ap chaje kounye a.
- ☐ Mete plato telefòn ki fèmen ak kle a deyò.
Lis Kontwòl pou Fèmen Chak Jou
- ☐ Dekonekte tout aparèy ak kab yo.
- ☐ Note vant ak resi jounen an.
- ☐ Pliye/sekirize panno solè a.
- ☐ Mennen estasyon enèji a, panno a, ib la, ak kab yo nan yon depo anndan an sekirite.
- ☐ Note nenpòt pwoblèm (twò chofe, limyè ki endike erè, dire fonksyònman etranj) pou swiv pi devan.
Lis Kontwòl Antretyen Chak Semenn
- ☐ Siye sifas panno solè a pou retire pousyè.
- ☐ Siye bwat estasyon enèji a epi tcheke twou aerasyon yo pa bloke.
- ☐ Egzamine tout kab ak konektè pou wè si yo gate oswa domaje.
- ☐ Revize vant semenn lan selon tip aparèy — ki sèvis ki fè plis lajan pou chak sesyon?
Gid Desizyon: Èske Mwen Dwe Aksepte yon Demand pou yon Aparèy ki Sèvi ak Anpil Enèji?
- Mande tèt ou: konbyen nan bidjè 590Wh jodi a sesyon sa a pral sèvi? (Gade tablo aparèy anba a.)
- Mande tèt ou: èske kounye a se mitan maten rive bonè apremidi (bon disponiblite solè), oswa èske li pre fenèt pik 6–10 PM lan?
- Mande tèt ou: èske mwen fikse pri sa a byen pi wo pase to referans lan (5.56 HTG/Wh) pou reflete enèji li pral konsome?
- Si se yon gwo sesyon (tankou yon sistèm ogo) ki pre pik aswè a, konsidere refize l oswa deplase l pou yon lòt lè — pwoteje fenèt aswè a jeneralman fè ou plis lajan pase yon sèl gwo sesyon.
- Si se yon ti atik prim (tankou yon laptop oswa yon machin a koud) pi bonè nan jounen an, jeneralman li san danje pou aksepte l nan bon pri.
Gid Desizyon: Èske Pri Sa a Jis?
- Jwenn konbyen enèji aparèy la itilize pou chak sesyon (gade tablo Anèks la).
- Miltipliye pa 5.56 HTG/Wh pou jwenn pri referans lan.
- Konpare l ak vrè pri ou a. Si pri ou pi ba anpil pase referans lan, ou ka ap kite lajan sou tab — konsidere ogmante l.

1. Introduction — What This Business Is, and Why It Matters
You are about to run a small business that turns sunlight into income. Your kiosk is one ALLPOWERS R600 solar power station, paired with a 220-watt solar panel. It charges phones and other small devices for customers who have no other way to charge them. In many parts of rural Haiti, the electric grid is unreliable or does not reach at all. Your kiosk fills that gap — and pays you for it.
This handbook is your guide. It explains how your equipment works, why it behaves the way it does, and how you can make smart, daily decisions that increase your income. You do not need an engineering degree to run this business well. You need to understand a few basic ideas about sunlight, batteries, and electricity — and this handbook will teach you those ideas in plain language, with real numbers from your own equipment.
The Four-Step Business Cycle
Every day, your kiosk runs through the same simple cycle:
- Equip — You have one R600 power station and one 220W folding solar panel, provided through a microloan.
- Deploy — You set up at a rural market, crossroads, or school with no reliable grid power.
- Serve — You charge phones and rent out productive tools throughout the day.
- Recharge — The solar panel refills your battery at the same time you are serving customers. You do not have to stop serving customers to recharge.
Your Revenue Mix
Not every customer pays the same amount, and not every service uses the same amount of your limited daily energy. Think of your offerings in three tiers:
- High-volume anchor: phone and feature-phone charging. Frequent customers, low energy cost, steady income every day.
- Everyday extras: tablets, radios, lanterns, small medical devices, WiFi rental.
- Premium / occasional: sewing machines, hair clippers, laptops, and event power. These cost more because they use more of your scarce daily energy — price them deliberately, not as routine services.
✔ KEY TAKEAWAYS — What This Means for Your Business
• Your kiosk business runs on a simple daily cycle: equip, deploy, serve, and recharge — all at the same time.
• Phone charging is your steady, everyday income. Bigger devices are occasional, premium-priced services.
• Understanding your equipment's real limits is what lets you make more money, not just work more hours.
2. The Equipment — What the R600 Is and How It Works
Your kiosk has three main parts working together: a solar panel that collects energy, a power station that stores and manages that energy, and charging ports where customers plug in their devices. Understanding what each part does — and does not do — is the foundation for running a profitable kiosk.
ALLPOWERS R600 Power Station — Confirmed Specifications
| Specification | Value | What It Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Nameplate battery capacity | 299 Wh | The number shown on the battery gauge/display. |
| Usable capacity (lab-tested) | 250 Wh | What you can actually deliver to customers before the unit shuts down. |
| Battery chemistry | LiFePO4 | A rugged, long-life battery type rated for 3,500+ charge cycles (about 5–7 years of realistic daily use). |
| AC output | 600W continuous / 1,200W surge | The power ceiling for anything plugged into the 2 AC outlets. |
| Total output ports | 7 built-in (2 AC + 5 USB/wireless) | Before adding the recommended external hub. |
| Paired solar panel | 220W | Connects through the XT60 input. |
| Weight | 5.6–5.8 kg | Light enough for one person to carry and pack away each night. |
Recommended Port Setup — 13 Charging Ports
The R600 alone has 7 output ports. The recommended kiosk setup adds one external 10-port AC charging hub (plugged into one of the two AC outlets), while keeping 3 of the built-in ports free for premium, fast service (1 USB-C fast-charge port and 2 USB-A ports). That gives you 13 total charging ports.
⚠ Do Not Add a Second Hub
• It is tempting to add a second 10-port hub to serve more customers at once. Don't.
• Your 220W solar panel cannot power two hubs and recharge the battery at the same time — a second hub would drain your battery by about 112 watts every single day.
• That drains your evening reserve, shortens your battery's working life, and risks a mid-afternoon blackout for customers.
• The energy budget — not the number of plugs — is what limits how many customers you can serve. See Section 6 for the numbers.
Figure 1 — How Energy Flows Through Your Kiosk
Notice that devices plugged into the outlets draw power directly from the sun through the DC bus. The battery only receives whatever is left over. This is why the battery is a backup reserve, not the main power source during the day.
Keeping Your Equipment Safe: The Shade Rule
Your R600's battery must stay in the shade at all times while it is running. LiFePO4 batteries begin to slow down or shut off once their internal temperature passes about 45–50°C. A black power station case sitting in direct Haitian sun can reach 60°C or higher — well past that safety line, on an ordinary day. This is not a rare event; it is what happens every day you leave the unit uncovered.
✔ KEY TAKEAWAYS — What This Means for Your Business
• Your kiosk is one R600 power station, one 220W panel, and 13 charging ports (1 hub + 3 built-in). That's it — don't add a second hub.
• The 250Wh usable battery, not the 299Wh nameplate number, is your real daily budget.
• Keep the unit in the shade at all times it is running. Heat is the single biggest threat to your equipment's working life.
3. Basic Science Principles — Understanding Your Power
You don't need to be an electrician to run this kiosk well. But a few basic ideas about sunlight, batteries, and electricity will help you make smarter decisions every single day — decisions that put more money in your pocket.
3.1 Solar Energy: How Panels Capture Sunlight
Your 220W solar panel is rated for its maximum output under perfect conditions: direct overhead sun, a clean panel, and the correct angle. In real conditions, you never get the full 220W all day. Three things reduce it:
Peak sun hours: the number of hours per day when sunlight is strong enough to count as "full power." Haiti typically gets about 5 to 5.5 peak sun hours per day — not the same as the number of hours the sun is up.
Panel derate: a loss of about 20% between the panel's rated output and what actually reaches your equipment, caused by the sun's angle, heat, dust on the panel, and the electronics that convert the power. This is why your daily solar harvest is 220W × 5.5 hours × 80%, not 220W × 5.5 hours.
Shading and dust: even a small shadow or a dusty panel surface cuts your output further. A panel in full shade produces almost nothing.
Doing the math: 220W × 5.5 peak sun hours × 80% capture ≈ 968 watt-hours (Wh) of solar energy harvested on a typical day. That number is your starting budget — before any losses inside the battery or inverter.
3.2 Battery Storage: Why the Battery Is Not a Second Power Source
It's tempting to think of the battery as extra energy on top of what the sun provides. It is not. The battery is a time-shifting container — it holds energy from earlier in the day so you can sell it after dark. Every watt-hour you take out of the battery at night has to be replaced from tomorrow's sunlight before you can use it again.
Usable capacity: your R600 is rated at 299Wh, but independent lab testing found it only reliably delivers 250Wh before shutting down. Always plan around 250Wh, not 299Wh.
Round-trip efficiency: charging and then discharging a battery always loses some energy as heat — about 10% for the R600. To refill 250Wh into the battery, you actually have to spend about 278Wh of solar energy (250 ÷ 0.90).
This is why sunset is your most profitable hour, not the moment your equipment is "resting." Evening hours (6:00–10:00 PM) are peak demand for lighting, phone charging, and WiFi — and if your battery isn't full by sunset, you lose an estimated 30–40% of that day's revenue potential. Fortunately, under normal operation, the battery tops itself up automatically by early-to-mid afternoon (once the morning charging rush eases), well ahead of the evening rush.
3.3 Electricity Basics: Volts, Watts, and Watt-Hours
Three simple ideas explain everything about how much you can charge, and for how long:
Power (Watts, W): how fast energy is being used or delivered right now — like the flow rate of water through a pipe. A smartphone charging at 15W is drawing energy faster than a feature phone charging at 5W.
Energy (Watt-hours, Wh): the total amount of power used over time — like the total amount of water that came through the pipe. Watts × hours = watt-hours. A smartphone that charges at 15W for 1 hour uses about 15Wh.
Voltage (Volts, V): the "pressure" pushing the electricity through the system. Your R600 and its chargers handle this conversion automatically — you do not need to manage voltage yourself, but it's why using the wrong cable or a damaged charger can waste energy or damage a device.
The single most important formula in this whole business is: Energy = Power × Time. A device that draws low power but charges for a long time (like an LED lantern rented for 5 hours) can use more of your scarce daily energy than a device that draws high power for a short time (like hair clippers used for 15 minutes). Section 4 shows exactly why this matters for pricing.
3.4 What Affects Your Daily Performance
- Sunlight hours — more peak sun hours means more energy to sell. The realistic range in Haiti is 5.0 to 6.0 peak sun hours per day.
- Weather and season — Haiti's wet season (June–November) can reduce your solar harvest by an estimated 20%, cutting your net daily budget from about 590Wh to about 396Wh. Plan for lower income on rainy days and during the wet season.
- Shading — trees, buildings, or clouds passing over the panel reduce output immediately. Always place your panel where it gets full, unobstructed sun.
- Dust and dirt on the panel — a dirty panel captures less light. Wipe it down regularly.
- Panel angle — a panel facing the sun directly captures more energy than one lying flat or tilted away.
- Heat on the battery itself — remember, this reduces charging speed and can shut the unit down, on top of reducing solar capture.
- Customer load — heavier use during the day doesn't shrink your total daily budget, but it does delay when your battery reaches full.
Figure 2 — Where the Day's Solar Energy Actually Goes
Notice that the 968Wh your panel harvests does not all reach your customers. About 278Wh is set aside to refill the battery for the evening, and about 100Wh is lost running the inverter and hub. What's left — about 590Wh — is your real daily selling budget.
✔ KEY TAKEAWAYS — What This Means for Your Business
• Your usable daily energy budget is about 590Wh — not the 968Wh your panel harvests, and not the 299Wh nameplate battery rating.
• Energy = Power × Time. A low-power device running for a long time can cost you more capacity than a high-power device running briefly.
• Weather, shading, dust, and heat all reduce your real output. Protecting your panel and battery from these is a revenue decision, not just equipment care.
4. How the Business Makes Money — The Revenue Model
Your kiosk earns money one charging session at a time. A customer pays a flat price, plugs in, and your energy budget goes down by however much their device consumes. Understanding the relationship between price and energy is the difference between a kiosk that just gets by and one that maximizes income from the same equipment.
The Core Idea: Revenue Density
Looking at a service's price alone is misleading. A HTG 300 event-power rental sounds more valuable than a HTG 20 clippers session — but the event rental can use up your entire day's energy budget in one sitting. The real measure of profitability is Revenue Density: how much money you earn per watt-hour of your limited daily energy.
Revenue Density (HTG/Wh) = Price per session ÷ Energy used per session
Worked example: a PA speaker system rents for HTG 300 but uses 600Wh — a revenue density of only 0.50 HTG/Wh. Hair clippers rent for just HTG 20 but use only 3.1Wh — a revenue density of 6.40 HTG/Wh. The speaker earns 15 times more per session, but clippers earn nearly 13 times more per watt-hour of your scarce battery capacity.
Figure 3 — Best and Worst Uses of Your Daily Energy
Notice that price alone doesn't predict profitability. Hair clippers and feature phones — both cheap, quick services — are your best use of energy. A mini fridge or power drill, even at a higher price, is your worst use of energy. Steer customers toward the left-hand list whenever you can.
Your Confirmed Pricing
Phone charging — both smartphones and feature phones — is priced at a flat HTG 25 per session. Because a feature phone uses much less energy than a smartphone to fully charge, feature-phone sessions are your single best-performing service on a revenue-per-Wh basis. This flat HTG 25 rate is also your benchmark rate: about 5.56 HTG/Wh. Use it to judge whether a new or unusual service is priced fairly.
Benchmark price: what a device's session would cost if priced at the same rate as a feature-phone charge. If a device's actual price is far below its benchmark price, you may be underpricing it — the LED lantern is a good example, priced at HTG 30 when its true energy cost would justify closer to HTG 111.
Why Daily Revenue Varies: Utilization, Not Equipment
Your equipment can technically support up to 590Wh of sales per day. Whether you actually sell that much depends on utilization — the share of your daily energy budget that customers actually buy. Utilization is driven by footfall, not by your equipment's capacity.
Figure 4 — Revenue at Different Utilization Levels (312 operating days/year)
Notice that even a slow-traffic day at 50% utilization (about $1,920/year) comfortably clears the extreme-poverty line. The base case of 65% utilization is what this handbook uses elsewhere — but pushing utilization toward 75–100% is squarely in your control through the practices in Sections 5 and 8.
| Utilization | Energy Sold | Daily Revenue | Annual Revenue | What It Represents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | 295 Wh | HTG 800 | $1,920 | Slow footfall — conservative floor |
| 65% | 384 Wh | HTG 1,050 | $2,520 | BASE CASE used throughout this handbook |
| 75% | 443 Wh | HTG 1,200 | $2,880 | Good footfall |
| 100% | 590 Wh | HTG 1,600 | $3,840 | Ceiling — energy-limited, not port-limited |
✔ KEY TAKEAWAYS — What This Means for Your Business
• Revenue Density (price ÷ energy used) — not price alone — tells you which services are truly worth offering.
• Phone charging at HTG 25 is both your steadiest income and one of your best-performing services per watt-hour.
• Your income depends far more on how many customers you serve than on the equipment itself. Utilization is where your daily effort pays off.
5. Suggested Operating Practices
Good daily habits protect both your equipment and your income. Because the power station is your only source of income, every practice below traces back to one idea: if the equipment stops, the business stops.
Figure 5 — A Well-Run Kiosk Day
Notice the shift at midday: the morning rush draws straight from the sun, the afternoon lull is when your battery quietly refills to 100%, and the evening window runs almost entirely on that stored reserve. Missing this pattern is the single biggest cause of a weak evening's revenue.
Daily Handling
- Set up in shade with airflow. Never let the unit sit in direct sun — use a ventilated canopy or cart roof.
- Elevate the unit off the ground, on a stand or platform, away from dust and moisture.
- Never block the vents. The internal cooling fan needs a clear path for air in and out at all times.
- Never cover a running unit with a solid tarp. A sealed cover traps heat and can cause overheating even in the shade.
- Wipe down the unit and the solar panel weekly. Dust buildup on the panel reduces its output; dust inside the vents traps heat.
- Pack the unit indoors every night. Haiti's dust, humidity, and theft risk will damage or lose an exposed unit within days.
Managing the Charging Setup
- Use short, certified USB-C cables (about 0.5m). Long or poor-quality cables cause voltage drop, slower charging, and are easier to steal.
- Keep phones secured in a lockable tray while charging, to prevent theft or mix-ups.
- Choose rigid solar panels over foldable ones for a permanent kiosk. Rigid panels handle Haiti's UV and heat for years; foldable panels crease, crack, and wear out faster despite costing about three times as much.
Protecting the Evening Window
Because 6:00–10:00 PM is your highest-margin window (lighting, phone charging, WiFi, small TVs), make sure the battery is genuinely full by mid-afternoon. Under normal pass-through operation this happens automatically once the morning rush eases — but if you notice the battery is not reaching full by early afternoon, treat it as a warning sign (see Section 7) rather than ignoring it.
Managing High-Draw Devices
Devices like blenders, hot plates, PA speakers, power drills, and mini fridges consume a large share of your daily budget in a single session. Treat these as occasional, premium-priced services — never as routine, walk-up offerings. Section 8 has specific pricing guidance.
Daily Schedule
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 8:00 AM | Set up kiosk: unfold/position panel in full sun, position power station in shade, connect hub and cables. |
| 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM | Morning/midday rush: devices draw directly from the panel. Battery tops up on the surplus. |
| 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM | Afternoon lull: battery should reach full. Good time for weekly cleaning if it's that day. |
| 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM | Evening peak: lighting, charging, WiFi rental — your highest-margin window, running on the battery reserve. |
| 8:00 PM | Pack in: disconnect, secure cables, move panel and power station indoors for the night. |
✔ KEY TAKEAWAYS — What This Means for Your Business
• Shade, airflow, and a dry, elevated spot protect your battery's working life — this is a revenue decision, not just housekeeping.
• The evening window (6–10 PM) is your most valuable selling time. Make sure the battery is full before it arrives.
• Pack the unit in every night. It is your only income-producing asset.
6. Key Numbers & Capacity
This section brings together the hard numbers behind your kiosk — how much you can realistically sell in a day, and how long each device can run.
Your Daily Energy Budget
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Gross solar harvest | 220W panel × 5.5 peak sun hours × 80% capture | ≈ 968 Wh |
| Less: battery recharge | 250Wh reserve ÷ 90% round-trip efficiency | − 278 Wh |
| Less: inverter/hub overhead | Idle draw + conversion loss running the AC hub | − 100 Wh |
| Net budget for customer charging | Gross harvest minus both deductions | ≈ 590 Wh / day |
This 590Wh figure is a planning number, not a hard technical ceiling — real days will vary with weather and sun angle. The realistic range is 5.0–6.0 peak sun hours, and a heavy wet-season derate (~20%) can bring the net budget down to about 396Wh/day. Always plan conservatively during Haiti's wet season (June–November).
Sessions per Day
At 100% utilization, your ≈590Wh budget supports roughly 64 phone-charging sessions per day, using a blended average of about 9.2Wh per session (based on a 35% smartphone / 65% feature-phone customer mix). Your 13-port setup can physically turn over roughly 129 sessions per day — meaning your energy budget runs out well before your ports do. This is why adding more ports would not increase your revenue, but adding more sunlight-hours or utilization would.
Figure 6 — Worst-Case Runtime on Battery Reserve Alone (No Sun)
Notice the enormous gap between low-draw and high-draw devices. A lantern or phone can run for the better part of a day on the reserve alone; a blender exhausts nearly the entire reserve in about an hour. This is your "no-sun, after-dark" floor — daytime runtimes are longer because the sun is doing most of the work directly.
Two Different Limits: Energy vs. Physical Ports
Every device is capped by whichever limit hits first — the energy budget, or the number of ports and hours available. Short, cheap sessions (like hair clippers or a WiFi router rental) tend to run out of ports or daylight hours before they run out of energy. Longer or higher-power sessions (like smartphones or laptops) tend to run out of energy long before the ports do.
| Device | Energy-Based Cap (sessions/day) | Physical (Port) Cap (sessions/day) | Real Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| WiFi router | 59.0 | 20 | Physical — only 2 AC outlets available |
| Hair clippers | 188.8 | 160 | Physical — runs out of daylight hours first |
| Smartphone | 32.8 | 108.3 | Energy — the daily budget runs out first |
| Laptop | 5.4 | 20 | Energy — long sessions add up fast |
Practical implication: for short, cheap services or standing rentals with few outlets, adding an extension strip raises your real ceiling. For longer or higher-power sessions, more ports won't help — energy is the real constraint.
✔ KEY TAKEAWAYS — What This Means for Your Business
• Your realistic daily ceiling is about 590Wh, or about 64 phone-charging sessions, at full utilization.
• Your 13-port setup has room to spare — the sun runs out before the ports do.
• Know whether a service is energy-limited or port-limited before deciding how to grow that part of your business.
7. Common Problems and How to Avoid or Fix Them
Problem: The unit overheats or shuts down
Cause: direct sunlight on the case, blocked vents, or a sealed cover while running. Fix: always operate under a shaded, ventilated canopy; never use a solid tarp on a running unit; keep the unit elevated with clear airflow on all sides.
Problem: A cloudy or rainy day sharply cuts your income
Cause: the base setup has no built-in weather buffer — a heavily overcast day reduces your solar harvest directly, with no reserve beyond the usual 250Wh evening allotment. Fix: this is expected, not a malfunction. Plan your household budget around an average week, not a single sunny day, and expect noticeably lower income during Haiti's wet season (June–November).
Problem: Theft or loss of the equipment
Cause: a $400+ asset sitting in a public market is a real target. Fix: use a secure storage box, a cable lock for the unit itself, and remove the equipment to secure indoor storage every night without exception.
Problem: You're underpricing a service without realizing it
Cause: pricing based on "what feels fair" instead of actual energy consumed. Fix: compare the service's price to its benchmark price (energy used × 5.56 HTG/Wh, the feature-phone rate). If the actual price is far below the benchmark, consider raising it — the LED lantern rental (priced 73% below its benchmark) is a common example.
Problem: One customer's big device request eats your whole day's budget
Cause: high-draw devices like PA speakers, hot plates, or fridges consume a large share of the 590Wh budget in a single session — a PA speaker session alone can use over 100% of your net daily budget. Fix: treat these as rare, premium-priced, scheduled events — never a routine walk-up offering — and think carefully before accepting one on a day you expect strong phone-charging traffic.
Problem: Thinking a second charging hub will let you serve more customers
Cause: it seems like more plugs should mean more sales. Fix: don't add a second hub. Your 220W panel cannot power two hubs and still recharge the battery — a second hub creates a daily energy deficit that drains your evening reserve and shortens your battery's life. Your 13-port setup already has more physical capacity than your energy budget can fill.
Problem: The battery seems to wear out or hold less charge over time
Cause: LiFePO4 batteries are rated for 3,500+ charge cycles (about 5–7 years of realistic use), but heat and rough handling shorten this. Fix: consistent shade and careful handling protect this lifespan. Budget for an eventual battery replacement as a normal cost of doing business, not a surprise.
⚠ A Note on Medical and Overnight Devices
• This unit cannot support a full overnight CPAP session — its capacity is designed for partial-night, paid top-offs only.
• If a customer in your community needs full overnight medical device power, flag this clearly rather than promising something the equipment cannot deliver.
✔ KEY TAKEAWAYS — What This Means for Your Business
• Most problems trace back to heat, weather, theft, or mispricing — all of which you can manage with daily habits.
• A second hub and unmanaged high-draw devices are the two most common ways operators accidentally hurt their own revenue.
• Be honest with customers about what the equipment can and cannot do, especially for medical devices.
8. Practical Tips for Maximizing Revenue
💡 Anchor Your Day on High-Density Services
• Phone charging (HTG 25) and hair clippers (HTG 20) are your best earners per watt-hour. Make sure these are always available and never turned away for lack of a free port.
• Feature phones outperform smartphones per watt-hour — don't discourage feature-phone customers even though smartphones look more "valuable."
💡 Price Premium Services Like Premium Services
• Sewing machines, laptops, TVs, and event power should be priced well above a simple phone charge — they consume far more of your scarce daily budget.
• Use the benchmark rate (5.56 HTG/Wh) as your floor when setting a fair price for a new or unusual device request.
💡 Protect the Evening Window Above All Else
• 6:00–10:00 PM is your highest-margin time of day. Confirm the battery is full by mid-afternoon, and don't schedule a high-draw rental (like a PA speaker) too close to this window.
💡 Track the Wet Season Separately
• Expect roughly a 20% drop in your solar harvest from June through November. Don't be discouraged by a weaker wet-season week — this is expected, not a sign something is broken.
💡 Revisit Your Prices as the Cost of Living Rises
• Haiti's inflation has been running fast. A price that feels fair today may need adjusting within the year to protect your real income. Review your prices regularly against your local cost of living.
💡 Diversify Around Your Anchor Product
• WiFi rental, tablet charging, and small medical device charging are steady "everyday extras" that add income without competing heavily for your energy budget.
💡 Keep Your Reporting Current
• Real-time digital receipts for every sale are a required part of this program. Beyond the requirement, your own sales records are the best tool you have for spotting which services and times of day earn you the most.
💡 Stay Disciplined on Loan Repayment
• A fixed weekly loan installment (for example, USD 6/week) lets you keep the large majority of your daily revenue as real income, while still paying down your equipment loan on a predictable schedule.
9. Simple Checklists and Decision Guides
Daily Opening Checklist
- ☐ Position the solar panel in full, unobstructed sun.
- ☐ Position the power station in shade, elevated, with clear airflow around it.
- ☐ Connect the 10-port hub and confirm all cables are undamaged.
- ☐ Check the battery display — confirm it charged overnight or is charging now.
- ☐ Set out the lockable phone tray.
Daily Closing Checklist
- ☐ Disconnect all devices and cables.
- ☐ Record the day's sales and receipts.
- ☐ Fold/secure the solar panel.
- ☐ Move the power station, panel, hub, and cables to secure indoor storage.
- ☐ Note any problems (overheating, error lights, unusual runtime) for follow-up.
Weekly Maintenance Checklist
- ☐ Wipe down the solar panel surface to remove dust.
- ☐ Wipe down the power station case and check the vents are clear.
- ☐ Inspect all cables and connectors for wear or damage.
- ☐ Review the week's sales by device type — which services earned the most per session?
Decision Guide: Should I Accept a High-Draw Device Request?
- Ask: how much of today's 590Wh budget will this session use? (See the device table below.)
- Ask: is it currently mid-morning to early afternoon (good solar availability), or close to the 6–10 PM peak window?
- Ask: have I priced this well above the benchmark rate (5.56 HTG/Wh) to reflect the energy it will consume?
- If it's a large session (like a PA speaker) close to evening peak, consider declining or rescheduling — protecting the evening window usually earns more than one large session.
- If it's a smaller premium item (like a laptop or sewing machine) earlier in the day, it's usually safe to accept at the right price.
Decision Guide: Is This Price Fair?
- Find the device's energy use per session (see Appendix table).
- Multiply by 5.56 HTG/Wh to get the benchmark price.
- Compare to your actual price. If your price is far below the benchmark, you may be leaving money on the table — consider raising it.
