Q:I don't want to spend a fortune, maybe talking like over $200 but I would like to power my computer, the monitor, my tv, and a small fridge.I looked up the price on some but it does not make any sense to me because it says that it has reached the price of less than $ per watt but if I look up a 20 watt solar panel it is $560 dollars. Why would it not be $20 because they said $ a watt.Where would be the best place to buy the cheapest solar panels?

The cost of solar panel depends on per Watt..typically per watt cost is around USD 4-5, so if you take 75W solar panel it will cost around USD 300-375. I hope this helps

Q:Can solar panels increase the value of commercial properties?

Yes, solar panels can increase the value of commercial properties. By installing solar panels, property owners can reduce their energy costs and generate sustainable power. This can make the property more attractive to potential buyers or tenants who prioritize sustainable practices and want to lower their environmental impact. Additionally, solar panels can also generate income through net metering or feed-in tariffs, further enhancing the property's value.

Q:I have 2 solar panels one is 5 watts 2 volts .2 amps or -The other is 50 watts 2 volts 2.6 amps or-Can I ...and what is the best way to hook them togeather to increase my amps being put back to my battery ?? I would be hooking them up to a 7 amp 00 watt charge controllerThe panels are rated 2 volt but the specs say they will produce more whennot connected to charge controllerPlease advise and should I even bother with the smaller panel ?

The answer is that the two panels should be put in parallel. The voltage out will drop to the voltage of the lower panel, but you should get most of the power, if the panels aren't too badly mismatched. I would try to get a multimeter and try to measure the actual current coming out of the panels in full sun. Sometimes the specifications on these smaller panels are very optimistic. If the whole setup is putting out less than 2 amps, I'd say wire the whole thing straight to the battery - little chance of boiling the electrolyte at those currents.

Q:Hello, i want to ask whether if you could make an improvised version of solar panel made from an old CD or DVD?Is it possible or not?Please give me steps on how to make one if you know(put aside the one you see on quot;ehow: How to Make a Solar Panel From CDswhich says a bit confusing for me :( )Why not?

Cd Solar Panel

Q:Can solar panels be used to power air conditioning or heating systems?

Yes, solar panels can be used to power air conditioning and heating systems. Solar energy can be converted into electricity through photovoltaic panels, which can then be used to power these systems. However, the effectiveness of solar panels in powering air conditioning or heating systems may vary depending on factors such as the size of the system, energy requirements, and the availability of sunlight. It is also common to use solar thermal systems for heating purposes, which capture the sun's heat directly to warm water or air for heating systems.

Q:How much space is needed to install solar panels?

The amount of space needed to install solar panels varies depending on the size and quantity of panels being installed. On average, a single solar panel requires about 15-20 square feet of space. However, it's important to consider factors like panel orientation, shading, and energy requirements to determine the exact space needed for an installation.

Q:Ok so I am planning on buying a solar panel. I am doing it to possibly sell the energy that it stores. It is a 20 watt panel so I am just wondering if every week or month if I sold that energy that it stored would make me a good profit. I am not hoping for thousands of dollars a month..just like 00? The solar panel cost me $,00 so if so, how long do you think it would take to make good profit. Also, how much would I make every week or month?

I will give you the tools to answer your own question. Here is the solar resource map: rredc.nrel /solar/old_data/nsr... Use it to look up the hours of peak equivalent sunlight per day in your area. For example, let's say it's 5 hours / day. Then per year you get 365 x 5 = 825 hours of sun Your panel is 20 watts, or 0.2 kW So the energy produced per year is 825 x .2 = 383 kWh You'll have to use the proper numbers for your own area, of course. Anyway, you can take that 383 kWh and determine how much it would cost at local electric rates. Never know, on some islands, it's $.00 per kWh. Check with your local electric company for rates.

Q:Can solar panels be used in areas with high levels of shade?

Solar panels can still be used in areas with high levels of shade, but they may not be as efficient as in areas with direct sunlight. The shade reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the panels, which decreases their overall performance. However, with advancements in technology, some panels are designed to handle shade better than others. Additionally, proper installation and placement of the panels can help optimize their performance even in shaded areas.

Q:I need to know what the main components of a solar water heater and how they functionThanks if you answer x

For vacuum tubes solar heaters the main component include: solar tank, vacuum tubes, solar frames, and the pipelines and fittings of whole system

Q:Can solar panels be used in areas with high pollution or smog?

Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high pollution or smog. While pollution and smog may reduce the efficiency of solar panels to some extent, they can still generate electricity in such areas. However, it's important to regularly clean the panels to maintain optimal performance.
