Q:hi everyone..i wanna do my major project on solar panels...so anyone kindly tell me the projects based on solar panels..

I have done this in my project too and a solar panel, two wires, a circuit/project board, an LED light/a small fan,a switch and a solderer. Just solder the wires to the positive and negative parts of the panel, put the wires connected to the panel to the board put the LED's on the other side and the switch together with it shine light on the panel and the light/fan will work.(If it dosen't work, please DO NOT consult ME.)

Q:I am doing a school project and we need to find the cost of solar panels for our school. The problem is i don't know what size the system needs to be. Is it 000 watts or 000000 watts?Also can you find the cost of the system?Thanks

Good question I am uncomfortable doing my child's homework so I will not complete the assignment for you. I am also always willing to help. Having the kWh is a great start. You must also ask the question when you size a system is there any way to reduce this load. Each kWh that you do not have to produce saves significant cost to the system. Next what type of system grid tied or off grid the two systems will have very different size needs and overall cost. I googled PV system sizing and got the below link. at first glance I like it. You can do the same for system cost. I also included a trade link for your review factors in sizing system type amount of bill offsetting geographic location site location track mounted or fixed and more Should you need additional help you can email me I will not do your work for you but I can either verify it or point you in the right direction

Q:Can solar panels be used in remote areas?

Yes, solar panels can be used in remote areas. They are a popular and viable solution for generating electricity in locations that are not connected to the traditional power grid. Solar panels can be set up in remote areas to harness energy from the sun and provide electricity for various purposes, such as lighting, powering small appliances, or even charging batteries. Their ability to operate independently without the need for extensive infrastructure makes them an ideal choice for remote areas where access to electricity is limited or non-existent.

Q:If this was sold back to the grids what would be the profit i would stand to make per day on energy received in these panels? How did you come up with this answer?

Considering capital outlays, such a system might never recover its initial investment. That's why we don't see such small photovoltaic plants popping up around the country - the economic case isn't there. One of the problems is that you would have to sell your electricity wholesale, at a ridiculously low price like 2 cents / kWh. If you were displacing electricity that you would otherwise use, then the financial case is different. Retail electricity could be 20 cents / kWh, 0 times as much, and you could get your money back over time, and start to make a profit. I've assumed you're in the US, with no special feed-in tarrifs. If you're in a country with a premium rate for solar-generated electricity, the business case could be very different.

Q:If a solar panel (using 36 3x6 solar cells) puts out 60 watts, how many panels would I need (for a house) if I use a max of 2300 kWh in a month? I checked my electric usage for the past 2 years and the kWh is usually lower but I wanted to use the most kWh used (2300) for my question. Thanks!

One key piece of information missing is the average number of peak sun hours per day. This will vary by location. It is latitude, regional weather, and site shading must be considered. Another consideration is the loses. The 60 watt solar panel is a DC voltage. The 2300 kWh is for the AC power consumed. There are loses in the inverter to change the electricity from DC to AC. There are also loses for wire resistance, soiling of the panels, wire resistance, etc. To work out an example of the math, I'll use 5 peak sun hours and a total efficiency of 80%. The math can be worked out as a single formula but I'll break it into steps for you. (2300 kwh/month)(month/30.4 days) = 75.65 kWh/day (60 W)(5 psh)(80%) = 240 Wh/day = 0.24 kWh/day/panel # of panels needed = Energy use / Energy generated (75.65 kWh/day) / (0.24 kWh/day/panel) = 36 panels.

Q:What is the impact of shading on solar panels' performance?

Shading on solar panels can significantly decrease their performance. When even a small portion of a solar panel is shaded, it can disrupt the flow of electricity and reduce the overall output of the entire panel. This is because solar panels are typically connected in series, so shading on one panel affects the entire string. Therefore, it is important to ensure that solar panels are installed in areas with minimal shading to optimize their performance and maximize energy production.

Q: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...

You can attempt to install your own solar panels...just do the homework first! I suggest looking at ways to decrease your overall energy consumption first even if installing solar panels. Doing this will save on the amount of panels you need. Have included a reference that may be of use to you.

Q:Was looking at 0w solar panel kit. Does this mean, all I can use is something like a 0W CFL light bulb and nothing else?

Graham is on the right track. However, you need to factor in a 80% DC to AC conversion loss. But yes a 0W CFL is about the size of it... Harbor Freight sells a system consisting of panels, battery, inverter, and TWO CFL's for $250. (You can power 2 CFL's off the grid for a very long time for $250)

Q:Can solar panels be installed on tile roofs?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on tile roofs. Specialized mounting systems are designed to secure the panels to the tile roof without damaging it, ensuring a safe and efficient installation.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a restaurant or food establishment?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a restaurant or food establishment. In fact, many restaurants and food establishments have already embraced solar energy as a sustainable and cost-effective solution to power their operations. Installing solar panels can help reduce energy expenses, lower carbon footprint, and showcase the establishment's commitment to environmental responsibility.
