Q:Can solar panels be installed on farmlands or agricultural fields?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on farmlands or agricultural fields. In fact, solar farms have become increasingly common in these areas due to their dual purpose of generating renewable energy while allowing for continued agricultural use of the land. This practice is known as agrivoltaics or solar farming, and it provides an opportunity for farmers to diversify their income by leasing or owning the land for solar power generation. Additionally, the shade provided by solar panels can benefit certain crops, leading to increased yields and reduced water usage.

Q:I need to know how do solar panels work. I need to know what are they made of.

The term solar panel is best applied to a flat solar thermal collector, such as a solar hot water or air panel used to heat water, air, or otherwise collect solar thermal energy. But 'solar panel' may also refer to a photovoltaic module which is an assembly of solar cells used to generate electricity. In all cases, the panels are typically flat, and are available in various heights and widths.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a boat?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a boat.

Q:if I have a battery bank of of 6 L-6 Trojan batteries, 6V 390AH, wired in series parallel to give me 2V at 70AH (or 4,040WH) what kind of solar panels should I purchase assuming I have 8 hours of sunlight, a solar tracking system and I want to make sure I can fully recharge my batteries everyday if i use up all the power every night?i understand there are efficiency issues to consider which i have not calculated in yet. thanks.

If okorder /... yet, it's worth browsing the off-grid section. 8 peak equivalent sun hours a day on average is very achievable with tracking, but are you sure you really want to spend on tracking? It's a lot of trouble and expense - might be cheaper just to get more panels. Also be aware that when you have a lead-acid battery bank capable of (say) 000 Ah, that is the capacity that the batteries could supply as a one-shot deal. If you ever took that much from them, they would be ruined. Typically, you would try to take only 20% of the capacity before recharging, although some batteries let you take 50%, with reduced life. Have you considered wiring the batteries as 36 volts? There would be more efficiency, and less problems with equalizing the batteries when charging. Unless 2 volts is really the output that you need most. Sorry to redirect you, but I can't recommend that forum too highly. Lots of considerations.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a prison or correctional facility?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a prison or correctional facility.

Q:OK, so if you put solar panels up on a roof, they are busy turning the sun's energy into electricity. So, does that mean the roof (and therefore the house/structure) stays cooler as well? Or does it still get hot, because . . . I dunno, maybe the panels don't convert all the energy, and the spillover still heats up the building.Any links or URLs to scientific answers would be appreciated, but I don't mind hearing from the Average Joe or (Joelle).

I asked the same question once to a PV install during a seminar a few years back, and he explained the following: No, PV panels do not reflect or absorb much heat from going into the building below but there is a reason for this: PV panels that reflect / absorb heat produce less electricity. They are designed to Thermally Transparent. Even worse if installed incorrectly without a good angle and air gap to allow the heat to escape the panels will actually trap this heat and increase the interior temperature of the building below! Below is the scientific analysis that is quite verbose but has two nice graphs at the end. To summarize: Adding PV panels, at best, shaded the building enough to reduce the load of the interior A/C unit by .8 kWh/sq-m/year. The electricity generated by the panels was about 356 kWh/sq-m/year. You can see the big advantage of PV panels is to make power, not reflect heat. Proper insulation is much cheaper and will do a much better job. Don’t worry, I was shocked too, but like anything it makes sense after it is explained.

Q:okay so my teacher is trying to install a solar panel but we have a problem we don't know where to ground it because it will be a movil house. guys do you have any ideas?

Q:Can solar panels be installed on golf courses?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on golf courses. In fact, many golf courses are adopting solar energy systems to reduce their carbon footprint and lower their energy costs. The large open spaces and ample sunlight available on golf courses make them ideal locations for installing solar panels. These panels can be placed on rooftops, parking structures, or even on the ground without interfering with the gameplay or aesthetics of the course.

Q:Can I add more solar panel let say up to 200 watt and adding two 2 volts battery using the same charges controller and power inverter?

That charge controller is notoriously cheap and burns up easily. If you are going add solar panels, also buy another charge controller to go with them. They can both be connected to the same battery bank. I don't believe the kit comes with batteries, so you would buy whatever size 2V battery bank your power requirements call for. The size of the inverter depends entirely on what you are going to power with it, not the size of the panel array. As long as you are not powering anything that is over the 300W rating, you don't need a new one. Just be sure to check the details of the inverter, is it 300W continuous, or can it handle up to a 300W surge? Also, it's a modified sine wave inverter instead of a pure sine wave inverter, so don't plug any sensitive electronics into it. They may not work, or you may get a buzz or hum from it.
