Q:My family and I are looking into solar panels for our home. But I'm unsure how it would be priced. This month our home used ,623 kwh. The solar panel company said we should expect $6-$9 per watt used. What would that put as at?

OK, KWH stands for Thousand Watts per Hour. You used ,623,000 watt/hours last month. If you pay $6.00 per watt, your bill would be $9,738,000.00. That's right-$9 million,seven hundred and thirty-eight thousand and 00/00.

Q:Can solar panels be used in areas with high levels of saltwater exposure?

Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high levels of saltwater exposure. However, regular maintenance and cleaning may be required to remove salt deposits and prevent corrosion. Additionally, using materials with high corrosion resistance, such as marine-grade stainless steel, can help prolong the lifespan of the solar panels in such environments.

Q:Thinking about getting a solar panel installed but i'm worried about getting the govt. rebates. There is a Federal Tax credit and a State of Florida rebate and i'm wondering what the time frame is for getting the rebates. Has anyone gotten a solar panel installed recently that could give me more info.Thanks!

In case you hadn't heard the state is broke.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on historic buildings?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on historic buildings. However, it is important to consider the architectural integrity and preservation of the building. The installation should be done in a way that minimizes visual impact and preserves the historic character. Special considerations and regulations might apply depending on the building's status and location.

Q:Can solar panels be used to power a data center?

Yes, solar panels can be used to power a data center. By installing a sufficient number of solar panels, the energy generated from sunlight can be harnessed and converted into electricity to power the data center's operations. However, the feasibility of solely relying on solar power depends on factors such as the size of the data center, energy requirements, geographical location, and sunlight availability. To ensure a consistent power supply, additional energy storage systems or backup sources may be needed.

Q:Can solar panels be used for powering a manufacturing facility?

Yes, solar panels can be used to power a manufacturing facility. By harnessing the energy from the sun, solar panels can generate electricity that can be used to run various operations in a manufacturing facility, such as powering machinery, lighting, and other equipment. This can help reduce reliance on conventional electricity sources, lower operating costs, and contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly business model.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on windows?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on windows. There are transparent solar panels available that can be installed on windows to generate electricity while still allowing light to pass through. These panels are designed specifically for windows and can be a great way to utilize the available space for solar energy generation.

Q:Mitsubishi Solar Panels For Home Installation: How Much Do The Panels Cost?

Panels will cost in the range of 300-600 dollars for about 00 watts on average ( enough for one large lightbulb to run a few hours a day). The rest of the system needed will cost $2500-$4000. That is for the equipment. Cost for Installation?? Figure about 0 year life on equipment. It will probably never pay back investment, but will cut power usage. You can reduce power usage much more cost effectively buy simply conserving (Hot water temp. down, CFE bulbs, Better insulation, Better windows, Heat/Air a little colder/hotter, Attic ventilation, Geo Thermal heating/colling system). All of these measures will pay back sooner and save power usage. Solar will never pay back without major subsidies from the taxpayers. Particularly if in an area that has many cloudy days. Check it out. The calculations are basic and the facts are available if you really want them. Don't believe any salesmen or Environmentalists. They don't want you to know the facts.

Q:Can solar panels be used in deserts?

Yes, solar panels can definitely be used in deserts. In fact, deserts are considered ideal locations for solar power generation due to their high solar irradiance and vast open spaces. The availability of ample sunlight allows solar panels to efficiently convert sunlight into electricity. Additionally, deserts often have less cloud cover and atmospheric interference, resulting in more consistent and predictable solar energy production.

Q:I am planning to buy some solar panels for my cabin and i want to be able to store the electricity. what kind of batteries should i get? i will be running simple things like a tv and radio. where can i buy these batteries? where should i look for the best batteries?

If you will be storing them outdoors, you can use auto batteries. Indoors, use sealed marine batteries. Number and size depends on your needs. You will need a charge controller between the solar panels and the batteries to get the maximum power out of the array and to avoid damage to the batteries. And you will need an inverter to convert the 2 or 24 volts to 20 or 240 VAC. One large lead acid battery will supply about 000 watt-hours of energy, enough for 200 watts for 5 hours. You have to look at your loads and decide on how many batteries you need. Frequently it is cheaper to buy new appliances that use less power, as that power difference can save a lot of money in batteries, inverter, charge controller and solar panels. But it sounds like a few thousand watt-hours will be enough, or 2 large batteries. The real limiting factor is how much money you want to spend for the solar panels themselves. .
