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:Can solar panels be installed on airports?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on airports. In fact, many airports around the world have already embraced solar energy to meet their power needs and reduce their carbon footprint. These panels are typically installed on rooftops, parking structures, or vacant land within the airport premises. The use of solar panels in airports not only helps generate clean and renewable energy but also contributes to cost savings and long-term sustainability.

Q:What is the difference between Photovoltaic Panels and Solar Panels?

Both of them are different types of solar panel. EDIT: Misspelling on Jeff's answer below! I think he means 'silicon,' not 'silicone!' Solar cells are typically grown on a glass substrate or put onto glass. Silicon is currently the most common material, followed by CdTe or cadmium telluride. Other materials like CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium (di)Selenide) are breaking into the market. Some people have great hopes for organic or 'dye' solar cells.

Q:If I wanted to put some solar panels on my roof, how many would i need and how many watts would they have to be to be able to power my whole house?

all depend to the surface of your solar panel

Q:Interested to know if it is possible to install Solar Panels to run my Jacuzzi?Don't want to do the whole house just the jacuzzi anybody have any ideas Thanks

yes you have to install an inverter to convert DC to AC....and a battery pack if you want to use jacuzzi on a cloudy day or at night

Q:what is the average cost, for a single family home, to install solar panels? I live in CA.

I just got a quote for my place. It came out $8/Watt installed. The quote was for 24 - 20W panels. Dividing the total quoted price by the 24 panels comes out to $,750 per panel. This includes the complete system with the converter and cutoff switch to connect it to the grid. This is also a top-of-the-line system. There are cheaper systems with shorter life spans. My quote was for a system with a 30 year life expectancy. There is a Federal tax credit in 2009 of 30% that will bring the system cost down. There are also nice state tax incentives in CA.

Q:Can solar panels be recycled?

Yes, solar panels can be recycled. They are made of materials like glass, aluminum, and silicon, which can all be reclaimed and reused. Recycling solar panels helps reduce waste and environmental impact, while also recovering valuable resources for future production.

Q:Maximum size of solar panel i have to use is - 8 * 5 feet - this is the limitation given to us.

go buy some 90's Arco solar panels. they're about 2x5 inches and produce 60 watts (24 volts x 2 amps) in full sunlight. then mount them up on a rig that tracks the path of the sun all day long. not all solar panels are created the same. the ones you get at harbor freight will be less efficient than the ones you buy from some guy whose father got the panel as a gift from a business party in the 990s.

Q:How hard is it to install solar energy panels on your house? Is this a reasonable way to produce 00% of your house's energy? Is there any danger?

Q:im making an energy efficiant house for science class and i need to price the house. im putting solar pannels on the roof and would u please tell me how much they are per like 2 sq. feet of a pannel?

Completely self-efficient and autonomous??? Forget it. Too expensive. It's only worth if you use like 8 lights (2-20w) about 4 hours a day, a fridge, a tv about 4 hours/day and basically nothing else or a few low consume stuff. Forget about microwaves, dryers, or other stuff. Too much watts. And that would cost you no less than 5000-6000$. You need panels (about 4 or 6 20w would suit maybe), 2 batteries (about 600Ah at least), inverter(500w/24v) and a regulator, lets say a 30A one. Just stick to normal energy supply. A single 20w panel may cost about 750$ at least.
