Q:Can solar panels be used to power a space station?

Yes, solar panels can be used to power a space station. Solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, and in space, where there is no atmosphere to scatter or absorb sunlight, they can generate a significant amount of power. Several space stations, including the International Space Station (ISS), rely on solar panels to generate electricity for various systems and experiments.

Q:I want to know that if I put solar panels in space if Pluto can recieve energy for iPods and television

Not really. Solar panels operate by sunlight knocking electrons off atoms, and there has to be a particular minimum of light in order to maintain a steady stream of electricity. Beyond Mars, we equip our probes with batteries and generators - because the sunlight at that distance is too weak to generate the electricity needed - so... no. Solar panels on Pluto won't charge anything....

Q:want to run 400 watt heater 8 hrs a day how many solar panels do i need and batteries

Get the rating from the manufacturer, they will give you the watts per m2 of their panels. divide 400 into the rating and will have the total area, then get the area of the panel that physically fits better the project and divide the total area into that of the panel selected, you will have how many panels you need. For the batteries is more complicated because of the available light hours of your location and what time of day are you going to use the heater, to be safe make a bank of batteries to store 600 watts to have a 50% stored power for emergency

Q:I have a 2 volt deep cylce Everstart battery with 845 cranking amps, and a Grape Solar GS-S-250-Fab5 250-Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel . I use them to power a 48Flat screen TV, a Roku, my 65 watt consuming MacBook Pro, and a 65 watt Fan.I know from previous experience that just the battery, an inverter, and the fan, that the fan will blow for 0 hours straight.Should I really be concerned with a Charge Controller?

Should I really be concerned with a Charge Controller? Yes. The main purpose of the charge controller is to protect the battery from over charging. Over charging reduces battery life. And spending extra money for a MPPT type controller will get more more useable power out of your solar panel. Would another battery of the same magnitude be helpful in preventing an accident? How much storage capacity does your current battery have (measured in kWH)? A ~$20 Kill-a-Watt meter would take a lot of uncertainty out of how much power you actually use. Even deep cycle batteries suffer reduced battery life from deep discharges. The battery sounds too small for the loads you describe so I would think you would want more. ---------------------------------------... After reading the other answer In a nutshell, with your small 2 volt starting battery, 24 volt panel and a mix of unknown loads, (which is correct), I thought I would elaborate. I had not considered the possibility that you bought a 24 volt panel for your 2 volt battery. Hooking the panel you bought directly to the current battery is a horrible idea. I you were lucky it would just cook the battery in a short period of time. You basically bought the wrong type of panel for a 2 volt system. I assume that there are no controllers on the the market for this situation. If that's the case, I don't know of any good way match the 24v panel to the 2 volt battery.

Q:how the power output of solar panels fitted to a house can chargenothing on the internet really answers this question, any information will really help..this is for GCSE, i don't really understand the meaning of the question. does it ask how the solar panel egts charged, and how it works? i don't get how you can charge a solar panel and is heat the only way you can produce electricity for it??please answer if you know! much appreciated!!! thank you so so so so so so so much, in advance =)

Solar panels do NOT get charged, so the question is junk, or you misstated it. Solar panels are used to charge a battery bank, which stores energy for times when there is no sun. Then energy from the batteries is used, via an inverter, to power appliances in the house. OR do you mean how the power output of solar panels can CHANGE? In that case, they change when the sun moves, such as behind a cloud, or just changes angle in the sky, or goes out.

Q:Are solar panels affected by temperature?

Yes, solar panels are affected by temperature. High temperatures can decrease the efficiency of solar panels, causing them to produce less electricity. However, cold temperatures can actually improve their performance to some extent.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a building with historical significance?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a building with historical significance. However, it is important to consider the preservation of the building's architectural integrity. Careful planning and design are necessary to ensure that the installation of solar panels does not compromise the historical value of the building.

Q:when building a solar panel should the diode be on the positive or negative sidelittle more detail i just built a solar panel and im running it to a grid tie converter should i put diodes in if i add another panel or are they only for battery systems?

I'm assuming you're talking about the blocking diode and not the bypass diodes. Positive side.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a university or college campus?

Yes, solar panels can absolutely be installed on a university or college campus. In fact, many educational institutions have already embraced solar energy and installed solar panels on their campuses. These panels can be placed on rooftops, parking structures, or open spaces to generate clean and renewable electricity. Installing solar panels not only helps reduce the environmental impact of the campus but also provides educational opportunities for students to learn about sustainable energy practices.

Q:can solar power panels installed at home provide enough electricity to power house hold appliainces and heat water.

Yes it can be, In this modern era, the photovoltaic cells, Solar panels are widely used for various applications. Like Pressure Cooker, Water Heater, Lighting purpose and all other basic things, More over Solar Powered cars under trails, Satellites in the orbits use the same technology for power.
