Yes, solar panels can be used to power agricultural irrigation systems. Solar energy can be harnessed to generate electricity, which can then be used to power pumps and other equipment required for irrigation. This can be a cost-effective and sustainable solution for farmers, especially in areas with abundant sunlight.
Okay, so I have a science fair coming up soon and I need help with my project. SO - What should I use to demonstrate with the propeller? A toy boat? Plane? And I only have mini solar panels ; so how do I put the solar panels on the toy boat/plane to make the propeller move off of the sun's energy? Thanks. Steps please!
Solar panels produce electricity. To move the propeller you need mechanical motion. An Electric motor converts from electrical to mechanical power. Most Solar Panels produce DC electricity as do batteries so you need a DC motor that is sized to match the Output of your solar panels. For small temporary projects like this I find that hot melt glue is great to assemble parts. Using a voltage meter you can expose your solar panels to a strong light (or one equal to what you expect during your demonstration) and measure the voltage across the terminals. This may help to size the motor. It depends upon the size of your propeller and how it is made. Your three choices are to use it to power an airplane, to power a boat underwater or to power a boat like an air boat. You might also use the air boat concept to make a car. (air car) The air boat might be the simplest to make but you will need a body of water to demonstrate the concept. The air car doesn't have such a requirement.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a sloped roof. In fact, sloped roofs are a common choice for solar panel installations as they offer an optimal angle for capturing sunlight. However, it is important to consider the pitch and orientation of the roof to ensure maximum efficiency and proper installation.
I had someone quote me for solar panels on my house but I can't afford it. They were talking about how I have enough room and the perfect location to put many of them and actually get paid for it. I have about a half acre that is tiered and points in the correct direction for them to get pretty much the full day sun. Additionally, I live in so cal where it is sunny most of the year. Does anyone know if solar companies will lease or install them to get the payback? I would be happy to allow them to use the land just to cover my electrical expense and they could have any payback.

I'm writing a post-apocalyptic story in it the main character finds a warehouse. Eventually he finds out the roof is covered with commercial solar panels. Given it's been over a year since the majority of the world died no manainence was done, do they still work?
they are in a position to be in case you're properly knowledgeable and experienced of their assembly and working function, offered you acquire the comparable severe high quality grade cells and do perfect assembly. probability is robust although that your first a number of could be in hassle-free terms somewhat below par till you rather get the carry of it and strengthen into properly practiced purely because of the fact the pros are. Does take a important volume of grunt paintings although so determine if it rather is great use of a while or in case you will do greater beneficial to earn at your prevalent paintings and pay a professional to do this which they do superb.

The ones in my neighborhood installed on telephone poles last year all have bird poop all over them and aren't generating any electricity. They can't even generate enough energy to pay for their construction, installation, and ultimately the work required to take them down and destroy them. Talk about a business case that has nothing but negative return on tax payer investment, all to further the lib agenda. All cost, 0 benefit. Classic lib business thought.
If I wanted to add solar panels to my home to produce on average, 8 kWh of electricity daily, how much do you estimate it would cost using state of the art technology?I live in Virginia (Washington DC Metro Area), and I have Dominion Power. I pay the following electric rates:Jun-Sep $0.0904/kWhOct-May $0.0776/kWhAnnual Ave: $0.0824/kWhDistribution charges add on approximately another $0.0228/kWh.How long would the ROI for an 8 kWh/day solar system be?
Figure 8 hours of sun per day, so 8 kW-hr is a rate of kW, which is a medium sized panel, probably not enough to operate your house totally, unless you have a very small unit. Averaged over 24 hours, that is power at a rate of only 300 watts, enough for a TV. Average US home use is .2 kW, which over 24 hours is 29 kW-hr, plus you need extra for cloudy days, peak demands, and to charge batteries. You have to decide off-grid or on-grid, and if you want to (and are allowed to) sell excess power to the power company. Off gird, the cost of batteries and charge controller are a large part of the cost. On-grid, you have to purchase equipment approved by the power company to match your power with the grid. Panels will cost about $3 per watt, so for 000 watts that is $3000. Double that for installation, then add in cost of charge controller, inverter, batteries, etc. The last items depend on your alternatives, see paragraph above. .
Rated in kilowatts, what is the maximum output of one 8 by 0 solar panel? Assume this solar panel is located at the equator for maximum sunlight.
Using MTRstudent's information of 000 watts per square meter and 5% efficiency or 50 watts per square meter, your 8 ft by 0 ft panel has 7.43605 square meters of area. A panel of this size could generate about .5 Kilowatts of electricity.
