Q:I want to know how to hook up a Solartech SPM020P-R, 20W Solar Panel to a single outlet that you can but at a store.

That panel you reference puts out about 20W. @ 8V of DC. You can't wire that to a standard 20V outlet without a battery/inverter unit. Even then, you don't get a useful amount of power. In a full day you would collect enough energy to run a small TV for about an hour.

Q:How do solar panels affect the property's energy management system?

Solar panels can have a significant impact on a property's energy management system. By converting sunlight into electricity, solar panels can provide a clean and renewable source of power, reducing the property's dependence on traditional energy sources. This can lead to significant cost savings on electricity bills and also help to reduce the property's carbon footprint. Additionally, solar panels can integrate with the property's energy management system, allowing for better monitoring and control of energy usage, optimizing the overall efficiency of the system.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on data centers or IT facilities?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on data centers or IT facilities. In fact, many data centers and IT facilities are increasingly adopting solar energy as a sustainable and cost-effective power source. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops or in open areas surrounding the facility to generate clean electricity and reduce their reliance on traditional grid power.

Q:How do you make solar panels and do you need a lot of them to make electricity?

It's possible to put together pre-made solar cells into your own panels, but the result will be far less durable, and more costly than simply buying commercial panels. You may encounter some websites offering to sell you information on how you can power your home cheaply with homemade panels. Every one of those I've seen is a scam. Save your money. Do you need a lot of panels to make electricity? To make a system that is worth it generally takes at least a dozen panels, although I'm sure exceptions exist. Also, it generally needs a professional install to meet legal requirements, although a few skilled homeowners do manage to do their own.

Q:Can solar panels be installed in areas with high levels of saltwater exposure?

Yes, solar panels can be installed in areas with high levels of saltwater exposure. However, it is important to choose solar panels that are specifically designed to withstand such conditions. These panels are typically made with corrosion-resistant materials and undergo rigorous testing to ensure durability in marine environments. Regular maintenance and cleaning may also be required to prevent salt buildup and optimize performance.

Q:What is the impact of shading on solar panels' performance?

Shading has a significant negative impact on the performance of solar panels. When even a small portion of a solar panel is shaded, it can drastically reduce the overall power output of the entire panel. Shading causes a decrease in the amount of sunlight reaching the solar cells, which in turn reduces the energy production. It can also lead to hotspots and potential damage to the shaded cells. Therefore, shading should be minimized as much as possible to ensure optimal performance and efficiency of solar panels.

Q:I have to get a lot of information on how solar panels are developed and distributed in America because I have to do two pages on this. Please help me get information in this I really need it!! Thankss...

The first link below is one of the best sites for recent news about solar panels. You should be able to find stories about solar panels under development today. A little bit of the history: Solar panels have been around for about 50 years now. They were first used to power spacecraft. Solar power for domestic use started to develop rapidly in the 970's during the first oil crisis, but as energy prices fell in the 980's solar development slowed. Most of the large solar panel makers were purchased by large oil companies who seemed not to be too interested in solar. In the late 990's as concerns about both Peak Oil and Global Warming grew there was renewed interest in solar power and a number of new companies were started to develop new kinds of solar panels. Many of these new companies have grown larger than the older solar companies still owned by big oil companies. Over the last 7 years or so growth in the solar market has been explosive with a compound growth rate of almost 40% per year. In 2005 the solar industry for the first time started to consume more silicon than all other electronic industries combined resulting in a world wide silicon shortage that is still with use. New silicon refineries are coming on line and the shortage is expected to diminish by 2008 or 2009. Check out the two links below. They will help you a lot.

Q:All I know is they check for amps watts voltage and everything... they dont have to be used for solar panels but um they have like alittle spinny thing in the middle of them. you spin it around to what you wanna test such as the amps watts voltage and stuff.... idk what their called but im looking to buy one to test my solar panels when they come in

They're called...Electric Testers, or Voltage Testers, or whatnot, they don't really have a special name in my experience. Just go to your local hardware store and buy one.

Q:How does the size of a solar panel affect its performance?

The size of a solar panel directly affects its performance as it determines the amount of sunlight it can capture and convert into electricity. Generally, larger solar panels have more surface area to absorb sunlight, resulting in higher power output. A larger panel can generate more electricity, making it more efficient and productive than a smaller one. Additionally, larger panels often have more individual solar cells, which further enhances their performance and efficiency.

Q:I am looking for an average sized solar panel (Just Panel), not 2 big n not 2 small. Any idea where i can find in abudhabigt;??

Abu Dhabi Solar plant Shams will be completed by the end of this year and will be ready to provide Abu Dhabi with power at commercial prices. Construction began during [the third quarter] of 200. The project's cost is $600 million (Dh2.2 billion) and with its completion, it will be the largest solar project in the world, Yousuf Al Ali, General Manager of Shams Power Company told Gulf News. Once completed, Shams will be one of the largest concentrated solar power [CSP] plants in the world, extending over an area of 2.5 square kilometres with a capacity of approximately 00MW and a solar field consisting of 768 parabolic trough collectors, Al Ali said. He added: Shams is a joint venture between Masdar (60 per cent), Total (20 per cent) and Abengoa (20 per cent).
