Yes, solar panels can power a whole house. With the right number of solar panels installed and optimal sunlight exposure, they can generate enough electricity to meet the energy needs of a typical household. However, it is important to consider factors such as the size of the house, energy consumption, and storage options to ensure a reliable and consistent power supply.
Solar panels can significantly reduce a property's energy consumption by harnessing sunlight to generate electricity. By converting sunlight into clean, renewable energy, solar panels can offset much of the electricity that would otherwise be drawn from the grid. This leads to lower energy bills and a decreased reliance on fossil fuels, ultimately resulting in a more sustainable and eco-friendly energy consumption for the property.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on a rental property. However, it is important to check with the property owner or landlord before proceeding with the installation. Some landlords may have specific policies or restrictions regarding modifications to the property, so it is necessary to obtain their permission and potentially negotiate the terms of the installation.
The inverter I am using gets the required 2 DC volts from the solar panel, but fo some reason it just won't output the 0 AC voltage. When the inverter is hooked to a car battery, it works just fine off the same 2 DC rating. Help me out please...
There could be a couple of reasons why it isn't working. First, 2V panels actually put out a considerably higher voltage because it is presumed that they will be used to charge a 2Vdc battery. That requires applying a voltage greater than 2Vdc, and usually there is a solar controller that regulates the solar power to the battery. It also has a voltage drop. Look at the first reference reference, and you will see these values for a particular panel: Voc: 2.6V (open circuit voltage) Vmp: 7.2V (voltage at maximum power point) Voc is the voltage the panel produces under standard sunlight and temperature conditions (25°C), with no load applied. As load is applied, the voltage drops (see reference 2). Power is the product of current times voltage, so at one set of conditions (namely at Vmp) maximum power is available from the panel. Your inverter might not be working for either of two reasons: ) it has input protection circuitry that locks out operation when it senses an overvoltage, as in the 2.6V open circuit voltage, or 2) the panel does not produce enough current and the voltage from the panel collapses under excessive load. For example, if you load your inverter to 20W, then nominally the 2VDC input to the inverter must supply 20W/2V/eff = 0A/eff Assuming the inverter has an efficiency of 80%, the input current required is: 0A/.8 = 2.5A A solar panel operating at maximum power would need a rating of about: 2.5A x 7.2V = 25W Is your panel that big? The other option, as mentioned by others, is to charge a battery that runs the inverter. Other nuances: Voc increases as temperature decreases. Sunlight intensity varies (obviously), so the panel may produce less than rated power. The power specifications often are printed on the back side of the panel.
can solar panels have glass between the panels and the sun?
As above, but also make sure the panels you use will still produce if partially shaded. Some older panels will quit producing if you so much as put your hand over a small portion of it. Newer ones don't do this but are more expensive. As you may need more panel area to produce enough energy to fill a battery (if that is how you go) make sure you have the room/roof area for additional panels.
If my school was to purchase enough solar panels to run the school off only their power, how much might that cost? (I have a really small school, only 384 kids.)Just general prices of solar panels and how much electricity they yield would be fine too.

There are several advantages of using solar panels. Firstly, solar energy is a renewable source that does not deplete natural resources, making it environmentally friendly. Additionally, solar panels produce clean energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change. Solar power can also save money in the long run, as it reduces or eliminates electricity bills. Moreover, solar panels require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan, making them a reliable and cost-effective energy solution. Finally, solar energy can provide energy independence, as it can be generated on-site, reducing reliance on traditional power grids.
No, solar panels cannot store excess energy. However, additional equipment such as batteries or energy storage systems can be installed alongside solar panels to store any surplus energy generated for later use.
