What is solar energy based candle production?

To overcome these drawbacks, a completely new system for Candle production has been developed at solar energy research centre (SERC), Jagannath University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This system is based on solar energy which accumulates sufficient solar heat to melt wax for making candle.

How do solar candles function?

Solar candles are powered by solar energy and are water-resistant and drip-proof, making them ideal for outdoor use. During the daytime, they absorb solar energy through the solar panels fitted inside and store it. These panels convert solar energy into electrical energy, which powers the solar candles at night.

How to make a candle based on solar energy?

A beautiful method based on solar energy to heat and melts the paraffin or bees wax has been developed to manufacture the candles by a linear fresnel reflecting solar concentrating collector and a bucket. The solar method has several advantages over the conventional candle making methods.
