FAQ

Installing solar panels on a home typically has a positive impact on home insurance rates. While the upfront cost of installing solar panels can increase the replacement value of your home, resulting in a slight increase in premiums, many insurance companies offer discounts or special policies for homes with solar panels due to the reduced reliance on traditional energy sources and the increased energy efficiency. Overall, solar panels can help lower home insurance rates in the long run.
i see these things all over the internet on how to make 'home made solar panels' but all of them require you to buy the solar cells and nothing tells you how to make your own. So how can you make your own solar cells?
You okorder /... Do yourself a favor and invest on good DIY book that include Video, and save a lot of money and frustration. Good Luck!
quot;Does it take more energy to produce a solar panel than what the same solar panel can generate in its useful lifetime?quot;
Thor is right and wrong. Solar panel will produce more than they take to make. My solar panels only have a 0 year estimated useful life. They may actually last longer, but with time they lose efficiency. Here in Phoenix where the sun shines all the time, a decent solar system you purchase and pay to have installed will pay back the original investment in 5-20 years. If you are a handyman and can install it yourself it will pay back sooner. Solar is a great system for reducing CO2 pollution, but until grid power rates increase a lot, it is still not very cost effective in most areas. It is also a myth that anyone can just install a solar system and get off grid power. Most people could not afford it, and most people would not like not having heat or air. Any system that normal people could afford could not supply anywhere near enough power for heating or air conditioning.
Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high snowfall. However, it is important to consider the design and installation of the panels to ensure they can withstand heavy snow loads and are positioned at an optimal angle to maximize snow shedding. Additionally, regular maintenance, such as removing snow accumulation, may be necessary to maintain their efficiency during winter months.
Home depot has solar panels but they are so expensive? were is the best place to get them?
Technology okorder Good luck!
Hi there. I live in Colorado, and we obviously get a ton of snow there. I im looking into a solar power system for my home, and I am wondering if the snow will accumulate on the panels, or if, because of the energy passing through, it will melt on contact? By the way we get about 20' of snow each year, and it comes on often. I will also be putting them on my roof. Thanks for your help.
If you have an electrical backup you could install something to melt the show where the solar panels are installed. You might try installing them near a fireplace chimney if you have one. My thinking tells me if you have a clear raised bubble or pyramid over the panels it might help.
Yes, solar panels do require regular inspections and maintenance checks to ensure optimal performance and longevity. These inspections typically involve checking for any potential damage, dirt or debris accumulation, and monitoring the efficiency of the system. Regular maintenance checks may include cleaning the panels, inspecting wiring and connections, and testing the functionality of inverters and other components. By conducting these inspections and maintenance checks, any issues can be identified and resolved promptly, maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of the solar panel system.
Yes, solar panels can be used to power a satellite. Solar panels on a satellite are designed to convert sunlight into electricity, which is then used to power various systems and instruments onboard the satellite. The panels are typically made of photovoltaic cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight, allowing satellites to operate in space where traditional power sources like batteries or fuel cells may not be practical.
