FAQ

Has anyone had any experience building their own solar panels for home use? I have seen on the news lately that people are utilizing solar panels to power their hot water heaters to save on their power bill.
a solar hot water heater is not a solar panel that makes electricity that runs your hot water heater.....it is merely a long tube or pipe, bent back on itself so there,s, say 00 feet in a 2foot by 4 foot space; it's in a framework and under a sheet of glass or plastic; You put out in the sun and it captures heat.....ever notice how hot the water is coming out a garden hose that has been left out in the sun in summer? Same idea.. we have used them here in the islands for years and they work great. Even up north, a solar hot water heater that preheats the water before it goes to a traditional water heater should work fine.
No, solar panels do not work during a power outage unless they are connected to a battery storage system.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the panels to remove dirt, dust, and debris is recommended to ensure optimal efficiency. Additionally, inspecting the panels for any damage or signs of wear and tear is important. It is also advisable to monitor the performance of the solar system regularly. Overall, solar panels are known for their durability and reliability, requiring little ongoing maintenance.
Yes, solar panels can be used for irrigation systems. Solar panels can generate electricity which can power the pumps and other components of an irrigation system, reducing the reliance on traditional power sources and making it a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.
The main difference between on-grid and off-grid solar systems is how they are connected to the power grid. On-grid solar systems are connected to the local utility grid, allowing excess electricity generated by the solar panels to be fed back into the grid and credited to the homeowner. This means that on-grid systems rely on the grid for power during times when the sun is not shining, such as at night or during cloudy days. On the other hand, off-grid solar systems are not connected to the power grid and operate independently. These systems typically use batteries to store excess electricity generated during the day for use during periods of low or no sunlight. Off-grid systems are commonly used in remote areas where connecting to the grid is not feasible or cost-effective. Overall, the distinction lies in the connection to the power grid and the reliance on it for electricity supply.
Why might energy from the solar panels sometimes be near zero even in the summer?
Because when the sun is down there is no solar energy, therefore they produce zero energy. This can happen any time of the year when the sun has set. But not to worry, they the sun will rise the next day. ;-) If you need constant power, it is best to connect the solar panels to the grid or to batteries to have power throughout the day and night too !
Yes, solar panels can be used to power a music festival. Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into energy, which can be stored in batteries for use during nighttime or cloudy days. By installing a sufficient number of solar panels, a music festival can harness renewable energy to power stages, lighting, sound systems, and other equipment, reducing reliance on traditional power sources and minimizing carbon emissions.
Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high levels of electromagnetic radiation. While electromagnetic radiation can potentially interfere with the efficient functioning of solar panels, proper shielding and design considerations can mitigate such effects. Additionally, solar panels themselves do not emit electromagnetic radiation, making them suitable for deployment in areas with high levels of such radiation.
