Q:Due to erratic power cuts in my area I want to make up by using a 30watt solar panel. My decoder is 30watt but my TV is 70W. I need something small. I don't have problem with sound. Just picture.

Do what we do when power is cut (although we have very reliable power - we loose as much as 2 hours a year), is go Amish. That is go without powered technology. Now, for you, you need more than a solar panel (and likely more than 30W, but that is a start) - you need a battery or set of batteries to store the collected power. 20Ah might do. You need an inverter to power things. For that, likely a 300W will do. For a TV, go shopping, and look at the labels on the back of the TVs. I just bought a 24 TV rated at 40W. If you get a 9 LED TV, it may be likely you can run that directly from battery, for many have separate DC brick supplies. With those, you can make a cable to power it directly from a 2V or so battery, if the supply can make 2 to 5V. Depending on your provider, you may be able to get a mini-decoder which uses a separate brick or wall supply, which means the decoder likely can be directly battery powered. Such a decoder may draw less than 20W.

Q:can i put a solar panel on a projector. if nt wat is a low energy projector that i can watch movies and play games on

Solar panels put out DC voltage, like a battery. The projectors that plug into the wall require AC voltage. Unless you got a travel projector that plugs into a cigarette lighter (does that exist?), you would need to convert the DC power from the solar panel to AC for the projector with an inverter. And if you want to use it when the sun isn't shining, you'd need batteries to store the power.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on carports or other structures?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on carports or other structures. In fact, installing solar panels on carports or other structures is a popular option as it maximizes the use of available space while providing shade and shelter for vehicles or other purposes. This not only generates clean energy but also offers additional benefits such as reducing energy costs and providing protection from weather elements.

Q:i have this usb solar panel charger i am building and the solar panel is about 2by .5quot;, so i was wondering if a led light can power it, if so will one be good or would i need more? if so how many?

An LED requires an electric current to power it. A solar panel can most definitely power an LED, but LEDs don't store any power themselves. And solar panels aren't designed to be powered, they are designed to generate electricity. Rethink your premise from the start. It is as if you were asking if the electric wires in your home or community would be powered by the light bulbs and appliances you use.

Q:Can solar panels be installed in areas with high pollution levels?

Yes, solar panels can be installed in areas with high pollution levels. While pollution may slightly affect the efficiency of solar panels by reducing sunlight exposure, they can still generate electricity and contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. Additionally, installing solar panels in polluted areas can help promote cleaner energy sources and potentially improve air quality over time.

Q:Can solar panels be used in developing countries?

Yes, solar panels can be used in developing countries. In fact, they can be a particularly beneficial source of energy in these regions. Solar panels are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and can provide reliable electricity to areas with limited access to traditional power grids. Additionally, solar energy can help drive economic growth, improve living conditions, and enhance resilience to climate change in developing countries.

Q:Can solar panels be installed on a car or electric vehicle?

Yes, solar panels can be installed on a car or electric vehicle. These panels can harness sunlight and convert it into electricity to help power the vehicle's battery or ancillary systems. While the amount of energy generated may be limited, solar panels on cars can be a sustainable and environmentally friendly addition, providing some extra charging capability and reducing reliance on traditional charging methods.

Q:I am doing a science fair project on solar panels, and I need four solar panels to conduct the experiment. I would only need the solar panels for a week. What type of solar panel should I get?

It okorder /... More info is needed about your experiment to help decide what you need.

Q:My electric bill per month averages 800 kWh per month. I am looking at 65W solar panels. How many panels would I need to make my bill come to zero? I realize I also need an inverter to convert dc to ac.

Your local installer will estimate this much more precisely than I can. Your main problem, as I see it, is not that you need this many solar panels. Your main problem is that you consume WAY too much electricity. You should probably cut your energy consumption in half BEFORE you invest in solar because it will be way more economic to eliminate the main consumers than to generate that wasted energy. I, for example, need no more than 80kWh/month for a household of two.

Q:How do solar panels affect the insurance premiums of a home?

Solar panels can potentially have a positive impact on home insurance premiums. While the initial installation cost of solar panels may increase the value of a home, they can also lower the risk of fire damage and reduce reliance on the grid. As a result, some insurance companies offer discounts or special policies for homes with solar panels, which may lead to lower insurance premiums in the long run. However, it is important to consult with individual insurance providers as policies can vary.
