FAQ

i have a 2v 2a solar panel that i want to use to charge a 2v battery .Have found out that i need a charge controller so i don't over charge the battery.I have found a cheep one its 2v but 7a will it still work ?All-so im planing on running a 2v water pump off the battery with a timer,its for watering my garden.Will the timer have to be 2v as well ?any help on this would be greatly appreciated thanks .
The charger will accept whatever current is necessary from the solar panel up to 7A. It's not like the solar panel will force 2amps into the charger/battery -- the charger will control the current going to the battery. I question whether or not the 2V panel will actually charge the battery, though, because in order to charge a standard lead-acid 2V battery you need to have about 4.5 volts applied to the terminals. Perhaps the charger has a boost circuit -- I don't know without looking at it or knowing the brand/model number, etc. The timer must be 2VDC, but, if you only have a timer that is rated for 20VAC, you can buy a small inverter that will take 2V and supply the necessary 20VAC. An inverter rated for 20 to 50 Watts should be sufficient. These usually cost under US$25. .
Solar panels can be installed in shaded areas, but their efficiency and power output may be significantly reduced. Direct sunlight is necessary for optimal performance, so shaded areas may not provide the same energy generation as panels in direct sunlight.
I mean like bread is made of wheat, what are solar panels made up of?How are they manufactured?
Solar panels (aka photovoltaic panel) are most often made up of thin wafers of crystalline silicon or cadmium telluride. As photons from the sun enter the photovoltaic cell, electrons are freed from the substrate when are then collected by wires that run throughout the panel. And as we know electrons=electricity!
My family has been interested in solar technology for a long time. I want to know how to save money so I can get as many solar panels as possible. I know the government has different discounts/ grants, and there may be tax incentives. I am not looking to sell energy to the energy company I want to use the energy directly.
Nothing good comes from the government ,nothing .so why would you think they would really help in this matter . If the government is involved , that is a good indicator to stay away.
Yes, solar panels can be used to power outdoor lighting. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which can be stored in batteries or used directly to power outdoor lights, such as garden lights, streetlights, or security lights. This allows for sustainable and cost-effective lighting solutions in outdoor areas.
Solar panels can significantly enhance a property's overall sustainability by harnessing renewable energy from the sun. They reduce dependence on fossil fuels, decrease carbon emissions, and contribute to energy independence. Additionally, solar panels can generate surplus electricity that can be sold back to the grid, further enhancing the property's sustainability and potentially providing financial benefits.
How many kilowatts? Would it be enough to power my electric heat?Does one panel cost about $2000.?
Solar Panels have a large range of prices. You can get a 0W panel for approx. $00 to 200W solar panels at $2000 and beyond. You would want to figure out how much electric heat you use. Then from there, figure out how many solar panels it would take to compensate that. If you need help figuring this out, I would suggest reading a Solar Panel How to Guide and/or looking at a Solar Panel Forum. Best of luck to you!
If you want to instal solar panels...how often do you have to replace them?
Expect a water heating panel to last about the same as a water heater, 0 to 5 years. Actually, my brother's system is coming up on 5 years, and is not giving trouble yet, so maybe technology has advanced. I have actually never personally known of anyone replacing a solar electric panel due to wear-out. I have heard of occasional replacements due to accidents, including natural disasters like lightning strikes. And one brand of panels had manufacturing defects around the year 2000, but that manufacturer owned up and replaced those free of charge to their customers. A standard warranty on a solar electric panel nowadays is 25 years.
