Solar panel experiment ?wat are some experiments with solar panels that has not yet been proven? ideas
You okorder /
I recently bought a house with very old solar panels (about 25 years old) that don't appear to work properly. They are supposed to heat the hot water heater but they don't always work, and recently have staretd leaking. So, I have had them turned off and now we're just using electricity to heat the hot water. My question is, is there any tax credit money (stimulus or otherwise) available for people to (a) repair old solar panels or (b) replace them with new ones? How does the credit work?

Solar panels can work with any amount of sunlight, but they are most efficient when exposed to direct sunlight for at least 5-6 hours per day.
I have had this 2v portable Solar Panel for my apartment for awhile. Only problem is that I have no balcony and I can barely get enough sun to use it with my Cobra 450 400-800 watt outlet converter. Can someone advise me a better method to use these? Like do I have to get more 2v solar panels? I have a small apartment and use it on one window. Also is it possible for me to buy a portable storage tank to store the energy gathered from the sun by the solar panel?
Your portable panel is at most a few amps at 2 volts nominal.Hopefully you have a higher voltage than this to enable you to charge a 2 volt battery. This takes about 3.3-3.6 volts. Your converter will function until a battery reaches about 0.5 volts (drop out voltages vary greatly). A deep discharge marine batttery will be the best bet for storage but usually more expensive than a regular battery. If your resources are limited, you might try from these cheaper sources. Insterstate battery stores usually have blems at a lower price. These are totally functional batteries but have surface imperfections that the manufacturer doesn't want his name on. Also check you local junkyard or towing service. They are often asked by insurance carriers to junk a car which has been wrecked. Many times the batteries are still perfect. They sell these for what they can get for them. Look for one from a SUV with lots of power options. Often kids cars have outlandish stereo systems requiring heaavy current batteries. These are a good find. Consider getting a solar power management system for charging your system. It will limit your charging voltage so you do not float a 2 volt battery above 4 volts where it would slowly destroy it.
I have this question for extracredit and I dont get it?How many 2V,2W PV panels would be required to supply a load that requires a 48-volt supply that can push at least 2.8 amps of current, if you assume each panel puts out A at 2 V? And how are the panels configured to supply the power requirements of the load?
4 in series for the 48V, a rack of 3 sets wired in parallel to give the current. (total of 2 panels)
Yes, solar panels can definitely be installed on a small scale. In fact, they are highly versatile and can be installed on rooftops, balconies, or even in small yards. The size and capacity of the solar panel system can be tailored according to the available space and energy requirements of the user. This makes solar panels a feasible and practical option for both residential and commercial settings, enabling individuals to generate their own clean and renewable energy.
how to use a motor with solar panel
A solar panel cannot operate a motor by itself. A typical system operates like this: The solar panel is connected to a charge controller which is connected to a battery which is connected to a motor controller which is connected to the motor. All these components must be compatible with each other. So,in other words, you can't run just any old motor with a solar panel.You can buy a system like an electric gate opener which is solar powered.
i dont wanna buy a solar panel becuase its too exspensive, i dont want use technical stuff i want to use every day materiels, but i need to know asap plzzzz.
