Q:For example, how many large solar panels would you need to operate a greenhouse with lighting for simulate sun during cloudy weather, a scheduled sprinkle system and other such things?I'm looking for a very in depth answer.

We think that powerful solar panels are good . As per their capacity they of-course needed many many solar panels, tks.

Q:I was watching an idiot abroad, and I saw a family that lived in tent like huts, with no plumbing. And they had a solar panel, now if they can afford it, I know I can. Where do you get cheap ones?

I okorder Hope this helps.

Q:I am wondering how to store energy from a solar panel

On a battery obviously, otherwise there would be no point in installing panels to Generate Energy from Home.

Q:Are there any health risks associated with solar panels?

No, there are no significant health risks associated with solar panels. Solar panels do not emit any harmful substances or pollutants that could pose a threat to human health. However, it is important to handle and install them properly to avoid any potential accidents or injuries.

Q:How do solar panels affect the overall carbon footprint of a building?

Solar panels can significantly reduce the overall carbon footprint of a building. By harnessing the power of the sun to generate electricity, solar panels reduce the reliance on fossil fuels for energy production. This means that less greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, are released into the atmosphere during the building's operation. Consequently, solar panels contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy system, helping to mitigate climate change and reduce the building's environmental impact.

Q:Do solar panels require regular cleaning?

Yes, solar panels do require regular cleaning to maintain their efficiency. Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of the panels, reducing their ability to generate electricity. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and maximizes energy output.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a sloped roof?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a sloped roof. In fact, sloped roofs are quite common for solar panel installations. The angle and direction of the slope can affect the efficiency of the panels, so it is important to consider the roof's orientation and shading when planning the installation.

Q:Basically I need a custom solar panel created. I won't go into detail but the dimensions need to be around 4''x2.5'' and be as thin as possible.

There's no way that home built system that will generate enough power to run your home off the grid. That's all hogwash! No wind = no electricity generated. No sun = no electricity generated. I'm looking into a grid tie solar system. I'm still working out the math for my home. They are expensive ($20k - $50k) before tax credits, but they have been designed by engineers, not back yard, shade tree wanna-be engineers. They will put power into the grid during the day (making your meter run backwards) and you'll draw the power back at night (when there's no sun). This is perfectly legal. It must be installed by power company approved techs. That's how power companies are going to meet their green energy mandates for the future. You'll generate power for the power company and get paid wholesale prices for it (during the day). But you'll buy it back at retail (at night)

Q:Do solar panels require a specific orientation or angle for optimal performance?

Yes, solar panels typically require a specific orientation and angle for optimal performance. The ideal orientation is facing south in the northern hemisphere and north in the southern hemisphere, to maximize sunlight exposure throughout the day. The optimal tilt angle depends on the latitude of the location, with a general rule of thumb being the angle should be roughly equal to the latitude. However, modern solar panels are designed to be flexible and can still generate electricity even when not perfectly aligned or angled.

Q:How do solar panels affect the insurance premiums of a home?

Solar panels can have a positive impact on the home insurance premiums. While the installation of solar panels may increase the overall value of a home, it can also lower insurance premiums due to the reduced risk of fire damage and environmental factors associated with renewable energy. However, the actual effect on insurance premiums may vary depending on the insurance provider and specific policy terms.
