  • Abstract
    Currently, power generation is being the major issue of concern due to depleting fuel sources but the matter has become more of optimal and sustainable power generation in the present time. Renewable sources of energy being the most suitable method to achieve the same, have taken the consideration to architect a house with the implementation of latest and current inventions. In this paper, the house is embedded with suitable sensors along with the equipments for the generation of power from solar and hydro modules that have been proposed to be used with maximum efficiency. Solar energy has been devised from the very latest form of solar panels that is solar paint. The architect has been so designed to achieve the maximum solar energy on painting the steel sheets on the two walls of the house which can align them according to the angle of maximum solar intensity. Hydro energy has been taken as the back-up plan for the adverse climatic conditions in which the roof is clad with micro channels which are in a glass disc. The principle of generation of electricity through these channels is charge induction by polar water molecules. The house is so programmed that it can switch between various energy alternatives available according to the present climatic conditions by the use of a decision making device. Along with this, spare power is saved and then used during unavailability of power from conventional sources.
