Q:Can solar panels be used in areas with high pollution levels?

Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high pollution levels. While pollution may slightly reduce the efficiency of solar panels by blocking some sunlight, they can still generate electricity. In fact, using solar panels in such areas can be beneficial as they provide a clean and renewable energy source, helping to reduce reliance on polluting fossil fuels.

Q:i want to go off grid with solar panels but i need to know how many vots and watts i need to power my house

You need an expert to figure out how many watts of power you will need and how many solar panels you will need to generate the wattage necessary to run your home plus charge the batteries for night use.

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!

Do not count on getting the rebate soon or if at all. You should get on the list and wait until the funds are released. Good luck. Summary: Note: There is currently a waiting list for rebates from the Solar Energy Incentives Program. This program has received $5 million in federal funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). This funding will be used to award rebates to some of the systems that are on the waiting list. The state has applied for an additional $9.4 million in federal funding for this rebate program. Systems applying for the rebate at the present time will be placed on the waiting list. If additional federal funded is received, the approved applications will be awarded rebates based on the order in which they were received. FY 2009-200 is the last year of the solar rebate program and the last year the program could be funded under current authorizing statute. Florida's Solar Energy System Incentives Program was established in June 2006 (SB 888) to provide financial incentives for the purchase and installation of solar energy systems from July , 2006, through June 20, 200. A total of $2.5 million was available for FY 2006-2007; $3.5 million was available for FY 2007-2008, and $5 million is available for FY 2008-09.

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

Take a look at the website from Retscreen International. This is a site sponsored by the Canadian government and they have everything that you will ever need to know about renewable energy. Download the free software and then feed in the position of your school (GPS Coordinates) and some data about energy useage. It will then link to the NASA websites to tell you the weather and work out what size of solar panel you need, what direction it should point and what angle it needs to be mounted on. I've used it for the UK, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan and other countries - It's brilliant - and its free. It also links to manufacturers websites and so gives you costings. Use this and you are guaranteed to be top of the class

Q:I have a college project due within a week, and it involves a 00 Watt solar panel and a 2V 7.5Ah Battery. I got the project finished up and producing free energy for my house in September, however recently the battery I bought, that was specifically made to hold Solar Power, lost its charge (unsure how or why) and it is pretty much useless. Can I just go to a store and buy any 2V car battery to use?

A 2 volt battery is a 2 volt battery. Some are larger than others. Sure you can charge a car battery with a solar panel, but 00 watts for a long time could be a problem. There's one way to find out.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on shopping malls or retail centers?

Yes, solar panels can definitely be installed on shopping malls or retail centers. In fact, many shopping malls and retail centers across the world have already embraced solar energy as a sustainable solution for their energy needs. Installing solar panels on these commercial buildings not only helps reduce their carbon footprint but also provides long-term cost savings through reduced electricity bills. Additionally, solar panels on shopping malls can serve as a visible example of environmental responsibility, inspiring others to adopt renewable energy solutions.

Q:Can solar panels be used for powering outdoor events or festivals?

Yes, solar panels can definitely be used to power outdoor events or festivals. They are a sustainable and reliable source of energy that can provide electricity to run lights, sound systems, food stalls, charging stations, and other equipment needed for such events. Additionally, solar panels can be easily set up in open areas, making them ideal for powering outdoor gatherings without the need for grid electricity or noisy generators.

Q:So during the day, electricity is on, everything is on and working fine. But at night where there is no sunlight does all the electricity shut down for the night? So there is no light on for me during the night, or I can't watch tv at night? Is it also true that with solar panels, your bills are less expensive. Can someone please tell me these things

But at night where there is no sunlight does all the electricity shut down for the night? Electrical production shuts down, but most solar electric systems have some way of storing power. There are two main types of storage: . Grid tie. Basically this uses the power grid as a virtual battery. You produce extra power during sunlight hours to sell to the grid (other people use it) and you buy power from the grid when the sun doesn't shine. This is usually the most economical system, but whether you save money depends on a lot of things like: cost of installation, location, government subsidies how much you get for the electricity you sell buy. In other words, the details matter. Mostly location, which determines how much sunlight you get, electric rates, and subsidies. 2. Batteries. Usually a large bank of deep cycle lead acid batteries. Usually only used in off-grid systems and the cost of electricity is usually not competitive with grid electricity.

Q:I have a building company in UK and am interested in becoming a solar panel installation contractor

Q:Can solar panels be used in conjunction with a backup generator?

Yes, solar panels can be used in conjunction with a backup generator. This setup is known as a hybrid solar power system and it allows for continuous power supply even during periods of low sunlight or when the solar panels are not generating enough electricity.
