Q:I have tried researching on the internet and just cant find any real answer. I know that the amount of electricity produced when taking in the suns rays depends on the placement of the solar panels but I am just looking for ball park figures. Thanks

Q:Can solar panels be installed on the ground?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on the ground. Ground-mounted solar panels are a popular option for residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar installations. They are typically mounted on racks or frames that are secured to the ground, allowing the panels to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. Ground-mounted solar panels are often preferred when there is limited roof space or for installations that require optimal positioning and easy maintenance.

Q:What are the advantages of using solar panels?

There are several advantages of using solar panels. Firstly, solar energy is a renewable source that does not deplete natural resources, making it environmentally friendly. Additionally, solar panels produce clean energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. Solar power can also save money in the long run, as it reduces or eliminates electricity bills. Moreover, solar panels require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan, making them a reliable and cost-effective energy solution. Finally, solar energy can provide energy independence, as it can be generated on-site, reducing reliance on traditional power grids.

Q:Can solar panels be used for powering a manufacturing facility?

Yes, solar panels can be used to power a manufacturing facility. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which can be utilized to run various equipment and processes within a manufacturing facility. By installing a sufficient number of solar panels, a manufacturing facility can significantly reduce its reliance on traditional grid electricity and lower its carbon footprint. However, the feasibility and effectiveness of solar panels for powering a manufacturing facility would depend on factors such as the facility's energy requirements, available sunlight, and the size of the solar panel system installed.

Q:How much energy can a solar panel produce?

The amount of energy a solar panel can produce depends on various factors such as its size, efficiency, location, weather conditions, and orientation. On average, a standard residential solar panel can produce anywhere from 250 to 400 watts of power. However, with advancements in technology, larger solar panels or those used in commercial installations can generate several kilowatts or even megawatts of electricity.

Q:I am heading to Nepal and do not want to lose power on my cameras but they can only be charged via quot;plugging inquot;. A USB connection does not work. Looking for a solar panel to clip to my bag or carry that I can plug in the charger as if plugging in to wall outlet. Thanks.

Solar panels require a charge converter before it can be used by an AC source. There is no direct solar panel with built in charge converters that I know of because, when purchasing panels, you must purchase the wattage requirements of the job (this can be several panels linked), and a charge converter that will handle the <? panels required. A chain of stores up here in Canada have a portable battery pack that has a solar panel to increase its charge capacity or duration, but its not something you would want to lug around for long periods of time, because is weights in about 3 lbs.

Q:I am looking to run 2 basic shoplights, each with 2- 32 watt T8 flourecent tubes for 6 hours a day for an indoor garden. Location WI.

Ok lets start with basics We need 28watts for the lights but due to efficacy we wont get that from the solar panels unless we increase the power.So I would say about 50watts of panels and that depends on if its sunny if its cloudy we wont get even 70 watts so I would say get 200watts of panels to overcome this problem. Then we need to run the lights for 6 hours so we need power to charge the battery I would say we will need 2x 0ah deep cycle battery's and as we need the lights on for 6 hours I would say we will need a charging capacity or total power from our solar panels to be around 300watts. So now that's the power sorted we need a device to allow us to power the lights at the right voltage. You will need a device that is called a inverter if the lights run on 240/0volts you will need a 2v to 240 or 0 depending on were you are so we can now convert are 2v dc power into 0/240 for the t8 lights. You will need a 500watt inverter as when fluorescent lights start they have a surge of power needed to start them So you will need 2x0ah deep cycle battery's 7x 45watt solar panels or you could just get 3x 00watt panels x500watt pure sine wave inverter I know it will be costly but it will be worth it in the long run.I did a similar project myself and it cost me over 600

Q:I want to buy a solar panel kit but I'm unsure of how it works. Basically I want to run my entainment set, Xbox, cable box, 46 led tv, and some desktop speakers. I went online and found a kit for like 250 or something like that at homedepot and was wondering if that kit is worth the money or go bigger or something.

I okorder to get more information on the subject.

Q:I have a solar panel I bought for a diy project and it has a small plug on the end of it, but I need to remove this plug to expose the positive and return wires so I can solder a bunch of stuff together. How do I cut off the plug without shorting out the solar panel when I make the cut? Can I just leave it in the dark a while before cutting? I don't think I can remove the wires from the solar panel end before cutting.

A solar panel doesn't store energy. As soon as the light stops, the current stops instantly. If it's a 200-watt panel or more, it won't be harmed by a short circuit, but it might be good to turn the panel over or cover it with cardboard before working on it. The spark can slightly mar the contacts. Doing the work indoors is enough to cut down the current, too. For a 60-watt panel or less, I wouldn't even worry about the spark, the power output is too low to do any damage.
