FAQ

What about sources for straight forward solar powered products? Excluding toys, garden frogs and outdoorpath lights I have found few useful items for the home. What I have found are solar panels for under $00 each, inverters, rechargeable indoor lights and a few camping/RV products that are interesting. It seems to me that these could help me start to wean the family off the power company. I can't afford to go cold turkey and cover my roof with solar panels and I don't think the HOA would allow me to even if I could. Is anyone using solar on a small scale?
I have an active solar heater on my roof. During the winter it comes in handy and heats the house, though we still need to use a gas heater to get the temperature up to a comfortable level.
I am wondering how to store energy from a solar panel
Now days there are been many equipement in the market such as solar panels is one such device which helps to generate solar energy.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a golf course or clubhouse. The large open spaces found in these areas provide ideal conditions for solar panel installation, allowing for maximum exposure to sunlight and efficient energy generation. Additionally, integrating solar panels into golf courses and clubhouses can help reduce energy costs, lower carbon footprint, and promote sustainable practices in the sport and leisure industry.
The amount of energy that solar panels can generate depends on various factors such as the size and efficiency of the panels, the location and climate conditions, and the amount of sunlight available. In general, a typical solar panel can produce around 250 to 400 watts of power per hour under optimal conditions. However, the overall energy output can vary significantly, and larger solar installations can generate much higher amounts of electricity.
Dose a solar panel need the entire range or spectrum of sunlight to produce power?
I think it's in the Ultra-Violet range because Solar Panels will still put out almost full power on an overcast day.
The impact of tree shading on solar panels' efficiency is negative as it reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the panels and therefore decreases their energy production.
if i have a 0 Watt solar panel what does that mean. does that mean it will charge a battery 0 watts per hour? Lets say i hook this up to a car battery and use the car battery to run computer stuff. How much will this charge the battery?
It will be less than a trickle charger on the battery. It is about .85 amps at 2 volts dc.
Hi. I need to build a solar panel for a project. it should be able to light a 60 watt light bulb. also, it should be about 3x3 ft if it is 50% efficient. if anyone knows any websites or can help me, please answer! thanks.
Making your own photovoltaic (solar electric) panel is a nontrivial matter if you want to get 60 watts out of it. If this is a science fair project, there are some possible paths that I'd suggest: ) Make your own cupric oxide panel. With just one square foot, you can harvest perhaps 0.5 mW in bright sun - enough to power a solar calculator; -or- 2) Buy a panel to light your 60 watt bulb. You could probably get away with a panel that is 6 square feet, but would use a car headlight as the lamp. If you wanted to light a regular household bulb, you would need electronics to step up the voltage, and you would lose a sizeable fraction of the energy just in the conversion. -or- 3) Buy broken solar cell pieces, or individual solar cells, and solder them together into your own panel. This is a LOT of trouble, and is a finicky process to get working and keep working. And it may not end up being cheaper than buying a ready-made panel. But you can claim that you made it! By the way, crystalline silicon panels are in the ballpark of 5% efficient, and a 3' x 3' one would produce in the neighborhood of 20 watts.
