FAQ

I don't want to spend a fortune, maybe talking like over $200 but I would like to power my computer, the monitor, my tv, and a small fridge.I looked up the price on some but it does not make any sense to me because it says that it has reached the price of less than $ per watt but if I look up a 20 watt solar panel it is $560 dollars. Why would it not be $20 because they said $ a watt.Where would be the best place to buy the cheapest solar panels?
Today the lowest cost is more like $3 a watt. And you need to shop well to get it that cheap. The solar industry hopes to drive the cost down to $ a watt with the new thin film technology, but production volumes are still too low with that new technology for the market prices to come down. Their goal is to hit $ a watt within 5 years.
Solar panels can actually help extend the lifespan of a roof. They act as a protective layer, shielding the roof from harmful elements such as UV rays, rain, and snow. Additionally, solar panels can reduce the temperature of the roof, which can help prevent heat-related damage.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a hospital or healthcare facility. Installing solar panels on such facilities can help reduce carbon emissions and energy costs, while also providing a reliable and sustainable source of electricity. Additionally, the use of solar energy aligns with the healthcare industry's commitment to promoting environmental sustainability and reducing the overall carbon footprint.
Any feedback on solar panels?
Solar panels really works good and reduce the usage of electricity.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a military base. In fact, many military bases around the world have already implemented solar energy systems as part of their efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and increase sustainability. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, parking lots, or open grounds of military bases to generate clean renewable energy.
I purchased some small 3.6 v 70mA solar panels online. I have no experience with solar panels. I am confident of the layout of the parallel circuit I want to create, however I don't know how to properly connect the tabs that come from the sides of the panels. Any help on connecting them?
Each solar panel will be wired to each other in parallel if you have more then one. When you wire in parallel the amps(current) from each panel will add to the total sum of current, but the total voltage stays the same. The voltage must match the rest of your system. For example, if your are using 2 volt solar panels you must be using 2 volt batteries and voltage regulator. Voltage regulator must be rated above maximum voltage and current(amps). Connect the output from the solar panels to a properly rated regulator, solar panel voltage regulators are rated by maximum voltage and amps, that will shut off the current flow to the batteries once the batteries are sufficiently charged there by preventing damage to the batteries. The way that you figure the rating needed for the regulator is by adding the maximum amps for each solar panel, this should be listed on the solar panel, and if they are 2 volt panels and they are connected in parallel then max voltage should be around 22 volts. It's the amperes that is most importance when choosing a regulator
Hey was looking at a 5 watt 2 volt solar panel and was wondering if it'd be enough to power a regular light bulb. Also need to power a 5volt 6.5 amp pump for at most a minute at a time. So basically if I had this panel would I be able to plug a lamp into it and have it light for 5+ hours at a time with the possibility of running the pump? If not what size panel would I need?
The specifications you give say the solar panel produces 5 watts at 2 volts (DC) so that isn't enough voltage to power an ordinary (20-volt) light bulb. You could get 0 of these panels and connect them in series so they put out a total of 20 volts and the total power available would be 50 watts. The panels would light the bulb that way, provided the bulb isn't over 50 watts and you can afford the panels. A panel does provide enough power for a 2-volt car light bulb less than 5 watts. However, the maximum current you can get from these panels is .25 amperes (5 watts divided by 2 volts = .25 A.) This isn't enough power to run your pump which takes 6.5 amperes - at 20 volts, that would be 780 watts. Another thing to check is the pump motor; many electric motors are designed to run on AC only and will be damaged if you try to run DC through them. Remember solar panels produce DC so the raw output from a panel will not work on an AC motor.
