I don't see much solar panels on people's houses where I live. I got a long time to go before doing so but I was planning on buying a few solar panels when I retire in the far future. In your opinion, is such an investment worth it? Would you buy them? I realize they are very expensive hence why I said when I retire. Thanks for your opinion
Regarding okorder /.. . In Hawaii, solar is going in like crazy, with long backlogs for installation. If it will be a long time until you retire, then there is no rush. The price of technology tends to go down with time, and in fact, solar panels today are less than half the price of what they cost us in 2006. Also, who knows where you'll be living when you retire? If it's Honolulu, the place may already have solar panels. In the woods of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, it might never be worth it (but look into wind, there).
Solar panels can significantly reduce the overall carbon footprint of a building. By harnessing clean and renewable energy from the sun, solar panels generate electricity without emitting greenhouse gases. This means that the building relies less on fossil fuel-based electricity, reducing its carbon emissions. Additionally, solar panels can offset the energy consumption of a building, further minimizing its carbon footprint, making it a sustainable and environmentally-friendly choice.
Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high levels of air turbulence or strong winds. However, it is essential to ensure that the solar panel installation is designed and mounted properly to withstand these conditions. The panels should be securely fastened and angled correctly to minimize the impact of strong winds. Additionally, using durable and wind-resistant materials for the solar panel structure is important to ensure their longevity in such areas.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on streetlights. This allows the streetlights to generate their own electricity from sunlight, reducing reliance on the electrical grid and promoting sustainability.
I know that if I put solar panels in my home I will get 30% back from the govt. Does that mean if I pay 2K I will get back around a 3K check? Or will my income play a roll where I may not get back as much?
The energy credits are non-refundable. That means that they only reduce your existing tax liability. If the credit is more than your tax liability, the excess is lost. Examples: If your tax liability is $5,000 and you qualify for a $3,000 non-refundable credit, it reduces your tax liability to $2,000. If you had paid in $5,000, you would get a refund for $3,000. If you had paid in $3,000, you'd get a refund of $,000. If your tax liability was $2,000, a $3,000 credit would wipe it out and the other $,000 would be lost forever. If you had paid in $2,000, you'd get a refund for $2,000. If you had paid in $,000, you'd get a refund of $,000. BTW, check your math. 30% of $2k is not $3,000.
we are planing to move out of the grid. we need to operate constantly 2 laptops online - does any one can tell us how much solar panels we shall need to make sure of that?
Are you going to have anything else on electric? Water heater, Stove, Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Washing machine, lights, fans, or a barn with lights and possible water heaters for winter? If so, you may need a lot more panels than that. We use 6.8 kW of panels in a place not known for sunny days, and do all right, but sometimes have to be careful if it is cloudy for many days in a row. You may be able to get by with about half of that if you live in a sunny, southern clime. Good luck - there are lots of non electric options for other (non-laptop) appliances, so you could cut back on other stuff as well.
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.
Yes, solar panels can be installed in remote locations. In fact, remote locations with abundant sunlight can be ideal for solar panel installations as they do not require a connection to the traditional power grid. Solar panels can provide a reliable and sustainable source of electricity in these areas, allowing for off-grid living or powering remote facilities such as research stations, telecommunications towers, or even small communities.
