FAQ

I have an inverter and a battery 20 Amperes.Daily sun shine approx. 7 Hours.Do I need to buy anything or should I connect the solar panel to the Battery direct?
No, don't connect the panel directly to the battery. You need to isolate the solar panel charging output from the AC-powered charger. A couple of high-current diodes arranged with their anodes connected to the charging sources in the positive supply line will allow either the charger or the solar panel to lift the voltage high enough to charge the battery, albeit with about 0.6 volts dropped across the diode. Both cathode ends would be connected to the battery. This arrangement allows a positive current to flow from either or both charging sources at the same time, although in practice, one will generally be higher than the other. Also, if the AC charger's voltage is significantly higher than the solar panel, the charger may always charge the battery. You would need to regulate its output to be slightly lower than the solar panel when it's near it's minimum useful operating voltage. (note that the 0.6 forward bias voltage on the diode might prevent the solar panel from completely charging the battery if it has any voltage regulation on its output)
so...do you think an online store dedicated to selling solar panels/systems will be a good business idea? Since green energy is the 'hottest' growing business area recently with usage growing about 30% per annum and investors putting all their money into solar energy, wind farms, biofuel, etc. I think when you sell solar systems online this will be the most appealing business model to the end customer...especially if you offer free installation on orders of say $000.
My guess is that you must discover everything concerning green energy at www.okorder .
The impact of tree shading on solar panels' efficiency is negative as it reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the panels and therefore decreases their energy production.
How can I start working as a solar panel installer/technician without years of education?
The best suggestion I can give is to call solar installation companies in your area, and ask for their recommendation as to what to do. They may recommend a technical college with an appropriate program. With unemployment rising, new jobs in solar will likely be scarce for a while. You might also inquire at roofing companies. If you apply at a solar company, and can demonstrate that you already have roofing experience, that will be a plus.
I want to be more self sufficient and get solar panels for electricity in a small house any tips will help. i need to know how many watts is enough and ect.
That's okorder , they have been extremely helpful from the initial planning process to the installation and upkeep. Use their Solar Panels Online Solar Sizer to determine how much solar you will require. A lot of it depends on your usage and size of home, but also where in the US you live. Best of luck.
Yes, solar panels can be used to power a space station. In fact, many space stations, such as the International Space Station (ISS), rely on solar panels to generate electricity. These panels capture energy from the sun's rays and convert it into usable electrical power, providing a sustainable and renewable source of energy for the space station's operations.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on carports or pergolas. These structures provide ample space for installing solar panels, allowing them to generate clean and renewable energy while also providing shade and protection for vehicles or outdoor spaces.
Ok so my electric bill is through the roof because of the air conditioner (mini-split). Is there any kinds solar panel I can buy at a store and install it myself? Do I need any skills? Which brand? blah...blah...blah...
Unless you live in an area with a very high UV index, like Las Vegas for example, solar panels are not cost-effective. You definatly should not attempt to install solar power yourself if you intend to power a residence with it (unless you live in a shack). A certified electrician is required in order to connect your equipment to your house's electrical system. It isnt just as simple as a few panels. You need a converter that turns the DC voltage generated into AC. You also need equipment to connect to the metering system for your house. If you want to see if it is cost effective, you will need your electric bills that show usage for a year and the price per kWH. There are a lot of websites that have calculators for solar power systems.
