FAQ

I'm a student trying to design a mounting structure for solar panels. I'm reading about passive trackers so as to track the sun for optimal energy production; but I am not fully quot;seeinghow it works. Can someone please help explain it to me, or at least send me a link(s) that could help explain it well?THANKS IN ADVANCED!! [and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!]
It appears to be relying upon a phase change of liquid to gas to liquid to balance the system and return it to the east in the morning.
what percentage of sunlight is converted into electrical energy in a solar panel?
Around 20%
Due to erratic power cuts in my area I want to make up by using a 30watt solar panel. My decoder is 30watt but my TV is 70W. I need something small. I don't have problem with sound. Just picture.
Do what we do when power is cut (although we have very reliable power - we loose as much as 2 hours a year), is go Amish. That is go without powered technology. Now, for you, you need more than a solar panel (and likely more than 30W, but that is a start) - you need a battery or set of batteries to store the collected power. 20Ah might do. You need an inverter to power things. For that, likely a 300W will do. For a TV, go shopping, and look at the labels on the back of the TVs. I just bought a 24 TV rated at 40W. If you get a 9 LED TV, it may be likely you can run that directly from battery, for many have separate DC brick supplies. With those, you can make a cable to power it directly from a 2V or so battery, if the supply can make 2 to 5V. Depending on your provider, you may be able to get a mini-decoder which uses a separate brick or wall supply, which means the decoder likely can be directly battery powered. Such a decoder may draw less than 20W.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on bridges or highways. In fact, there are several projects around the world where solar panels have been installed on bridges and highway infrastructure. These installations not only generate clean energy but also utilize underutilized spaces, contributing to sustainable and efficient use of resources.
Solar panels can significantly impact a property's resale time by reducing energy costs, increasing the property value, and attracting environmentally conscious buyers.
A local air conditioning company is advertising combining their (newly installed) central air conditioning system for homes, with roof solar panels. They say that the combination MAY reduce your electric bill. Nothing I can see to back-up their claims. Hmmmmm. And they offer, if you can get it; central air conditioning that runs on natural gas. Again, possibly cheaper than using electricity.Has any one actually tested to find out if solar panels and/or natural gas DOES, or DOES NOT save you any money to make it worth the bother?
Don't do it! It takes years to get your money back. Your better to put the money into insulation and or buying geo thermal unit. I knew someone who install solar panels on his roof to generate hydro and he didn't notice much of a change on his hydro bill and then he had roof problems . Central air units in last 2 years have become very efficient . Almost half the hydro of ones 0 years ago. If you can afford buy a geo thermal unit. It uses the heat of the ground in the winter 2 heat your house during the winter and the coolness of the ground to cool your house. They aren't cheap though. If you plan on living in your house for more than 0 years and have the room in the yard to install then go for it. No how you slice it though AC units use way more hydro than solar panels can produce. You would need about half a football field with a huge battery storage system to run a AC unit. When a company states you might on hydro I would stay away. Also remember they do not tell you about the costs of the upkeep on the solar panels and converter and batteries
My Grandfather just purchased a cheap solar panel kit for his ranch that could not muster enough power to run his mini fridge.He has two 6 volt batteries running positive to negative and would like to add more batteries. Probably 2volt. How would he go about hooking up the other batteries and what kind of wire or coil should he use.Also, I saw on youtube a guy recommending a lead-acid battery from walmart for under $20. I was just going to go to ecology and just pick up some used batteries but I may be wrong.Any help for a first timer might help me and my gramps out will be appreciated.Thank you

Yes, solar panels can be used to power a train. Solar panels can convert sunlight into electricity, which can then be used to power various electrical systems on a train, including propulsion. However, the feasibility and effectiveness of using solar panels to power a train depend on factors such as the size and efficiency of the solar panels, train energy requirements, and the availability of sunlight.
