Q:Where in the world are solar panels used. If it is used widespread across a continent just say which continent, other than that, just name the country. So where are solar panels used often?

Many okorder /... I have friends in Northern Michigan who use solar panels and wind generator for all their energy. They have been doing it for almost 20 years.

Q:if car companies install solar panels on cars, like in all the car were the sun can reach that would reduce the consumption of gas in the summer, and might save some energy for winter and if that energy is not enough they can use gas or electricity i think that would be a lot of savings, and less contamination i don't know that is my idea what do you people think?

Understanding Physics and something about electrical power is normally needed to solve this problem. Here is some info that may help put it into perspective: One average solar panel approx 3ft. X 4 ft may produce 00 watts of power during peak performance times. A VERY small car will require a minimum of say 0-30 HP to be viable. (An old VW had 40HP) 00 Watts continuously will produce about 0. HP (/0 of one HP), so to get 20 HP, I would need how many panels? About 0 panels to get one Horsepower? Where do I put them? note: ONE HORSEPOWER = 746 WATTS SOLAR IS GREAT, BUT NOT CHEAP AND NOT RELIABLE ENOUGH IN MOST AREAS TO DEPEND ON FOR NECESSITIES. IT IS VERY GOOD FOR SUPPLEMENTAL POWER USES AND CAN REDUCE OUR USE OF CONVENTIONAL FORMS.

Q:Dont/Cant work alone?when you buya asolar panel you mUST GET bATTERIES, voltage regulators and many else stuff?cant they just work directly? or can i use normal batteres like Car batteries?The one who Really knows 0 pts. thanks

Q:Are there any tax credits available for solar panel installation?

Yes, there are tax credits available for solar panel installation. The federal government offers a solar investment tax credit (ITC) that allows homeowners and businesses to deduct a percentage of the cost of their solar panel system from their federal taxes.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a stadium or sports arena?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a stadium or sports arena. In fact, many stadiums and sports arenas around the world have already embraced solar energy by installing solar panels on their rooftops or parking lots. These panels generate clean and renewable energy, helping the facility reduce its carbon footprint and save on electricity costs. Additionally, solar panels on stadiums can also serve as a visible symbol of sustainability, inspiring others to adopt renewable energy solutions.

Q:Can solar panels be used in conjunction with a backup generator?

Yes, solar panels can be used in conjunction with a backup generator. This setup is known as a hybrid solar power system and it allows for continuous power supply even during periods of low sunlight or when the solar panels are not generating enough electricity.

Q:trees vs solar panels who would win?

If it was a physical battle, solar panels. It's like burning ants with a magnifying glass. Aim the solar panel at the trees and you have a forest fire.

Q: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?

NO ! Pump needs 747 watts power. And you need to buy one more expensive DC to AC converter to make it work. Use solar panel at least has 000W output.

Q:I have two solar panels and I have measured that they produce V by themselves. I am trying to generate .5V, but whenever I hook them up in parallel I get something like .02V. What it happening?

. You want series, not parallel. (Add the voltages. Coonect '+' of the first to '-' of the next, and take your feed from the extreme ends.) 2. if you parallel them and you get less voltage than one alone, you got your polarity crossed up and are reading the difference between them.

Q:Ok so i can have a problem i have two 5 watt 2 volt solar panels a 2 volt battery and a 400 watt ac 2 volt dc inverter i believe im only getting 5 watts from from my solar panels thats the equivalent of one is there any way i could get full voltage from my solar panels without theoretically burning my wallet.. please help

I think you need to take some basic courses on electricity. Usually, 8 volt solar panels are required to charge 2 volt batteries. The voltages of photovoltaic cells are set by the material they are made of, only current changes. If you hook up a 2 V solar panel to a 2 V battery, no current will flow, nothing would get charged. You would need some elaborate DC to DC voltage converters to charge a 2 V battery from 2 V solar panels. Solar panels can be connected in parallel or in series, as you've made the mistake of buying 2 V solar panel, you would have to wire them in series and have a charge controller that could limit the voltage of the charge. Did it ever occur to you that two 5 watt solar panels would not be able to provide the power needed by a 400 watt inverter? You're just running off your battery with your set up. Solar power is expensive power, you can not have solar without burning a hole in your wallet.
