The purpose of this thesis is to provide light to villages. Many people worldwide lack access to modern energy such as electricity which is unfortunate situation in the modern era. The objective of this experiment presented in this thesis is to obtain electricity from free energy which is sunlight and electrolyte water. Water has a significant purpose in this experiment as the main role, because there is a fourth phase of water or EZ water.
Which then will be transferred to a battery that has enough amount of capacity to save the energy, to turn on several bulbs at night. the electric flows will be controlled by Arduino and the material for this experiment will be very commonly used so that everyone can make this Electric Energy Storage System (EESS). It is expected that this experiment will help people in need of electricity to obtain it a low cost.
Keywords: Electricity, Water, EZ water, Arduino, Electric Energy Storage System.
