FAQ

I am seriously thinking about installing PhotoVoltais Solar panels (that generate electricity) on my roof. Besides the usual (cost, ROI, etc.), I was researching for the maintenance of these panels. We have tall trees around the house and needles and leaves fall on our roof all the time... not to mention the dirt and grime that collects over time.Do these decrease the capacity of the panels? Do the panels require a regular maintenance?Thanks!
I don't know if the guy is right about cells burning out if they are covered. You should look on the Internet for insolation tables for your area to see the effective hours of sunlight. Then guesstimate the percentage of time the panels will be shaded. Those trees may make the solar thing a poor idea. He is right about the trees reducing you efficiency. If a panel is shaded about 0 percent, its output drops to close to zero. My panels are five years old, and I have washed them twice. There as been no noticeable dropoff in output.
Green issues aside, are solar panels worth it, monetarily speaking?I don't mean that my house might be worth more or any of that. All I am asking is this: if I invest in a set of solar panels, will the cost be paid back to me over time? If so, how long will it takegt;Take into account the following:. Currently I pay the electric company around $00 per month2. I use around 400 kilowats of energy per monthI realize that exact numbers are hard to come by, but any opinions are welcome.

Solar panels can be integrated into building designs by incorporating them into the structure or facade of the building. This can be done by installing solar panels on the roof, as awnings, or as part of the building's walls or windows. Additionally, innovative designs like solar shingles or solar glass can also seamlessly integrate solar panels into the overall aesthetics of the building.
To choose the right size of solar panels for your home, you should consider factors such as your average electricity consumption, available roof space, and budget. Start by analyzing your energy usage over the past year to determine your average daily kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption. Next, calculate the solar panel system size needed by dividing your average daily consumption by the average daily sunlight hours in your area. Additionally, assess your roof's orientation, shading, and structural capacity to determine the maximum number of panels it can accommodate. Finally, take your budget into account and consult with a professional solar installer to help you determine the appropriate size and type of solar panels that best meet your energy needs.
could any tell me what type off panel is the best tube or flat and how much it should be. I live in N Ireland
My solar thermal installation uses a 30-tube NAVITRON panel. This has an effective area of 2m2 and produces enough hot water in summer for 3 showers and plenty of washing up! I estimate that, in it's first year, it has saved me about ?60 in gas. The panels and prices are shown in the attached link. Mine was fitted by a professional installer for ?2500, including a huge, new cylinder (dual coil) to store the extra hot water. Flat panels are much less efficient than vacuum tube collectors. While flat panels are frequently cheaper, these Navitron panels are such good value that I think buying inferior, flat panels would be a false economy.
I've recently started a project to help my store become more green and I need to get some estimates from businesses and if all goes according to plan we will have some panels on our roof and some other measures that I've written into my proposal. Any help is welcome. Just so you know it's a large grocery store in a corporate chain and I've been approved to do all the research, just no promises of payment.

If okorder . If you must store this energy, that's another trick involving other equipment.
My house is aligned exactly North-South, so I have no roof facing South. Is it worth installing solar panels? Are there any good options for dealing with this situation?
Several options: The panels could be mounted on the ground. We mount panels on a roof because they are out of the way but it is not the best choice. The highest output (and most expensive) choice is to mount the panels on the ground fixed in a heliostat (sun tracking mechanism) Far better if the panels are on the ground where they can be more easily cleaned to promote top efficiency. If you have the room they can be mounted in an angled array. Panels can be mounted on the side of a house or on the roof using racks to position the panels properly. We usually say that if we can get the panels within 5 degrees of due south it is sufficient. You could even mount the panels flat onto the side of a house and use mirror mounted heliostats to reflect sunlight to them. All of these options will be more expensive than a perfectly oriented home. There are also other alternatives for producing electricity, conserving electricity through energy savings, or production of other forms of energy that offsets electrical usage. A site survey is the best way to determine this.
