Solar Powered Greenhouse Fan Market

We surveyed the Solar Powered Greenhouse Fan manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and industry experts on this industry, involving the sales, revenue, demand, price change, product type, recent development and plan, industry trends, drivers, challenges, obstacles, and potential risks.

As a result of our interview with the students from Central Mindanao University, the problem we want to provide a solution to is the lack of fans inside the school premises. This concern was pointed out by some students and through observation, we also saw that many students use anything like papers, notebooks, and laminated materials as their fans. Thus, we decided to provide a solution with this matter by providing a mini solar powered fan. 

After the venture proposal, we were told to know more about the patent rights as our product seemed to be an existing product. However, as we searched for patent rights at IPOPHL Patent Search (WIPO Publish) there is no registered patent right for solar powered fans. Thus, if we continue to innovate this product we will not be able to face infringement to patent law.

The next consideration we looked at was our costing. One of my group members asked his father about the materials we needed. According to him, we need a solar set-up component, shield lead acid battery (12 V) (6 A), solar power Inverter (DC: 12-220 V), and fan. Unfortunately, we are not able to check for the prices of these materials since none of us was available for canvassing. However, we plan to check next week. 

I learned a lot of things from the different activities that we did these past few weeks. One of it was to really identify and know if my target market would really buy our innovation through our empathy map. If our product would be pricey, I doubt many students would buy it. Thus, we will try to look for different ways in which we can lessen the costing of our product to produce a useful and student-friendly product. 

Solar-powered fans.

Last August 24, our group decided to interview random students within Central Mindanao University (CMU). We asked them what are the usual problems that they experience as they study here on the campus. 

The first respondent stated that her biggest concern is the lack of vending machines on campus as she wanted to conveniently buy beverages and snacks. Since some of us are still taking online classes, many are also bothered by the poor signal within the school premises. One commenter said that she is more worried about the garbage disposal since some students lack the discipline to put their trash in the garbage bins. Another student mentioned that she is having financial difficulties while she is at school since there are so many expenses that she must pay. Others claim that it greatly bothers them that there aren't enough fans in the classrooms, especially given how hot it is right now.

Among the problems that these students shared, the very first problem that we want to give a solution to was about having poor signal, by innovating data booster since poor signal really is bothersome to most of us. However, we decided not to focus on that matter because we think that we are not capable enough to innovate such things. Thus, we decided to take consideration on other problems, and we realized that it is also very important for the students to freshen by having mini fans. We wanted it to be solar powered so that the students would not worry whether or not their fans will run out of electricity. One of our groupmates, Hanah, also stressed that we could ask for help from his father with any idea of how we can come up with our fans. We also decided that our fans will be out of recycled materials, we will just beautify it using the idea of Sephie. We are still thinking of an attractive name for our product so we just call it 'solar-powered fan' for now.
