FAQ

i would like to hook up a power outlet to a solar panelmy light system is 500watts will run for 8 hours/day between noon to 8PM.So what is the most effective system do I need?
The least expensive way would be to get a 500 W or preferably a higher rated UPS. The higher the rating, the more robust the inverter. You can get two year old ones cheap because most people don't realize that it's just a $2 battery that goes bad every two years. Get some Car batteries in parallel to build up more capacity. Deep cycle marine batteries or golf cart batteries are best. Connect the Solar Panel to the batteries via a FET diode, assuming your solar cells are wired to produce 2 V or better power (you probably would want at least 8 V), this is to charge the batteries when the sun is shining. A little bit of analog circuitry magic can create a current limiter based on a Darlington pair type layout. Connect the batteries to the rest of the UPS (don't plug it into the wall) and you can run 0 V 60 Hz AC devices off it's outlets. You may want to snip the wire going to the speaker so you won't hear the alarm. There's no way you could sync this to the grid so don't even try a grid tie in and the inverter in the UPS is only intended to run for 0 to 20 minutes so it may burn out however we've run UPS inverters constantly for months before when we needed a cheap power converter to change AC power frequencies before.
The space required for solar panels depends on several factors such as the power output of the panels and the efficiency of the solar cells. On average, a typical solar panel requires around 10-20 square feet of space. However, it is important to note that solar panels can be mounted on rooftops, installed in large solar farms, or even integrated into building materials, allowing for flexibility in their placement and utilization of available space.
I was wondering if they create other forms of energy besides electrical that is unwanted. Like heat due to the friction of something, or sound. Also why is a solar panel not able to collect 00% of the energy that is striking its panels. And how could the efficiency of this be hypothetically improved.
Inability to generate electricity in the absence of light especially at nights or on a rainy day. secondly, it has an inability to store power.
Can you please tell me how much a solar panel costs?Please back up your info with a website.
If okorder /.. Low-cost crystalline panel manufacturers such as Suntech are believed to have costs in the $.50/watt range today - making it $300 for a 200-watt panel. That doesn't mean that one can buy a panel for that price, of course. If you mean a DIY panel from purchased solar cells, the cost would be closer to $360 for an equivalent-powered panel, not counting the price of the frame, and the labor. A homebuilt panel would not stand up to decades of weather unless one spent even more on the frame. And since such a panel would not have safety certification, it could not legally be connected to the grid in most places. If you meant a water heating panel, please update or post another question - I'm sure people will chime in.
Snow accumulation on solar panels has a negative impact on their performance. The layer of snow blocks sunlight from reaching the panels, reducing their ability to generate electricity. Additionally, snow can also add weight and potentially damage the panels if not cleared promptly. Therefore, regular snow removal is necessary to ensure optimal functioning of solar panels.
I was having a discussion with a friends about solar panels.He says that if there is a solar panel (sp) on the ground and a solar panel (sp2) high in the atmosphere (in the stratosphere) the difference in power output between sp and sp2 negligible. I said that there would be a large difference in power output because sp has all of the atmosphere to block the suns rays and sp2 has very little atmosphere because it is very high up (in the stratosphere) therefore more sun can get to the panel and more power is produced.who is correct? many thanks in advance, please leave sources if possible, for validity.
There will be a difference (44%, see below) but not a large one. The atmosphere is transparent to the wavelengths used by the solar panel. But no clouds, and a lot more hours of sunlight. wikipedia: Space-based solar power (SBSP) (or historically space solar power- SSP) is a system for the collection of solar power in space, for use on Earth. SBSP differs from the usual method of solar power collection in that the solar panels used to collect the energy would reside on a satellite in orbit, often referred to as a solar power satellite (SPS), rather than on Earth's surface. In space, collection of the Sun's energy is unaffected by the day/night cycle, weather, seasons, or the filtering effect of Earth's atmospheric gases.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on oil or gas facilities. Many oil and gas companies are now incorporating solar energy into their operations as a way to reduce their carbon footprint and increase their use of renewable energy sources. These solar panels can be installed on rooftops, open spaces, or even integrated into the infrastructure of the facilities.
How many kilowatts? Would it be enough to power my electric heat?Does one panel cost about $2000.?
I doubt it'd supply your heat. Anything involving electric heating uses tons of energy. Also, keep in mind that you don't just need a panel but also a DC to AC converter.
