Q:where I can find solar panel the has 4.8 volts? Like those solar walkway light or something that has 4.8 volts solar panel.Do you think I can get it from home depot?

The other thing to do is to search for DIY solar chargers for more information.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a parking lot or carport?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a parking lot or carport. In fact, these locations are ideal for solar panel installations as they provide ample space and can generate clean energy while also providing shade and protection for vehicles. This dual-purpose approach helps maximize the benefits of solar energy and optimizes land usage.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on parking lots or garages?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on parking lots or garages. In fact, these locations are ideal for solar panel installations as they provide ample space for the panels and can harness the solar energy efficiently. Additionally, installing solar panels on parking lots or garages can also provide shade for vehicles and reduce energy costs for the facility.

Q:So I want to go completely solar. Do I need the connected solar panels alone for after sundown hours; Do I need something else in order to have energy to run my entire house throughout the night?In other words do solar panels store the energy for after sun-down or do I need other devices to store the energy?

Unless okorder

Q:I mean like bread is made of wheat, what are solar panels made up of?How are they manufactured?

Solar panels (aka photovoltaic panel) are most often made up of thin wafers of crystalline silicon or cadmium telluride. As photons from the sun enter the photovoltaic cell, electrons are freed from the substrate when are then collected by wires that run throughout the panel. And as we know electrons=electricity!

Q:What, if any, improvement in efficiency per square foot or meter is realized by a solar panel in space vs. being mounted on the ground where the light is attenuated by the atmosphere?In passing, I found a site that gives an output of .89 watts / 4 in. sq for a particular home-mounted panel.

Solar panels on spacecraft are a lot more efficient than ones made for home use. That doesn't include the effect of the atmosphere.

Q:i am looking at installing some solar panels and a wind turbine for electricity.has anybody got one of these and how much do they save you?thanks

I don't have one myself, but some of my neighbors did. They said that wind is cost effective. The equipment will make money over the lifetime of the equipment. When they did the calculations for solar, the savings did not cover the cost of the equipment over its lifetime. They were very happy with their wind turbine and several months even got paid by the power company for putting energy back into the grid. However, this was when I lived in Kansas. Wind does matter on location.

Q:i used 734 killowatts of power last month, any idea on how many solar panels i would need. What im looking for is to somehow hook up my central air to solar panels.

Good answer above me. One other tip, look at your full year's usage. Last month, if it was cold, you probably didn't have your air conditioner on. Our house uses 500-600 kWh a month average, but we have no air conditioner. To generate all of this requires a 3 kW array in our part of California. That's only to give you an idea of what it takes - what you need will be based on how much sun your area gets, and what percentage of power you want to get from the array. If you pay tiered electric rates, it may make sense to displace only part of your electricity with solar. Or it may not make financial sense at all, if you have cheap electricity where you live. To get the best assessment of what kind of system would be appropriate, try to get one or two no-obligation quotes from local companies. You can always turn down the bids, but at least you will have learned what's involved and the approximate cost. If you want to see what we did with our house, please contact me through the email in my profile.

Q:If you need 9400 watts, 75 amps@ 240V, how many solar PV panels do you need?

75 amps @ 240 volts equals 8 kW not 9.4 kW, so first you have to make up your mind how much you want. Then you have to decide what size of solar panel you want. If it helps, the 6 units on our roof, each approximately m square, are rated for 4 kW in bright sunshine.

Q:What do I need to use this as a battery charger

I hope this will help you choose your charge controller / battery charger more effectively. Good luck!
