FAQ

i already have solar/gas water heating, but was wondering if getting solar panels for electricity installed was a good idea.
Why of course. Just buying them is the big buzz. Companies are doing thousands if not millions of dollars a month only by selling Solar Panel. I did a little search and I found that it costs 7000$ to install solar panels for an average roof. If you're a hardcore green, then Bon Appétit, I'm not preventing you to buy it. All I'm just saying is that it'll take months if not years to get that money back. It is good for electricity, and I saw it worked on a company building called Better Place, so save the world!
Yes, solar panels can be used to power a museum or cultural institution. Solar energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power, making it an environmentally-friendly option for museums. By installing solar panels, these institutions can reduce their carbon footprint and lower their energy costs. Additionally, solar power can provide a reliable and consistent source of electricity, ensuring that the museum's operations are not disrupted during power outages or fluctuations in the grid.
I would like to know if I had a mobile kitchen could I power it from solar panels mounted atop the vehicle (truck).(to power electric kitchen equipment, i.e. stove, deep fryer.), instead of propane…could I possibly connect the solar panels to a battery to save my generated electricity? If solar panels would not be enough power could a small windmill suffice…?
Nice enough idea you have there, but practical reality is waiting to bring you back to your senses. The appliances you want to operate take a lot of power. You would need an awful lot of solar cells or a very cumbersome windmill to provide sufficient energy for them. You will find that for a mobile kitchen, an ordinary generator running on gasoline or diesel will be much less expensive to buy and maintain, less trouble to haul around, and much easier to replace if necessary. Considering that propane will probably prove less expensive yet, go with that for as many appliances as possible.
i need to cut down on electricity bills, and so i was wondering if someone could give me step-by-step instructions, or websites that have step-by-step instructions on how to build an electricity generating solar panel.
The idea behind building your own was to get defective and broken solar cells from the manufacturer, preferably for free though many now charge for them. These are cells that are either cosmetically blemished, cracked or otherwise broken during manufacturing and transportation. As each cell fragment could have very different voltage and current characteristics, you have to manually measure the voltage and current characteristics, sort them and then wire them in parallel or in serial to achieve the desired voltage and current characteristics for the panel. Wiring in parallel increases the current while wiring in series increases the voltage, the current capacity of cells in series will be that of the lowest current capacity cell in that series hence you need to match fragments up to wire in parallel till you have enough current capacity to participate as a cell in the series. Cell fragments can only be wired in parallel if they have the same voltage output. It's painstaking work and it's difficult to place all the irregular shaped cells onto the solar panel in a layout that efficiently uses the space so your solar panels will likely be much larger than commercial ones. You could augment them with Fresnel lenses since the cells don't occupy as much of the available surface area hence focusing the light onto the cells rather than the board will help with efficiency. Practice your soldering skills cause you don't want to have to go back in to figure out where that cold solder joint is. If you're real lucky you can get a supply of blemished cells but the cheapest ones are the broken cells.
Yes, solar panels can be used to power a greenhouse. Solar panels produce electricity by converting sunlight into energy, which can then be used to power various devices and systems, including heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation in a greenhouse. This renewable energy source helps reduce reliance on traditional power sources and can provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for powering a greenhouse.
Yes, solar panels can definitely be used to power a marina or boating facility. Solar energy can be harnessed to generate electricity that can be used to meet the power needs of various facilities and equipment in a marina or boating facility, including lighting, ventilation, pumps, and charging stations. By utilizing solar power, these facilities can reduce their reliance on conventional energy sources, decrease their carbon footprint, and potentially save on electricity costs in the long run.
The lifespan of solar panel batteries can vary depending on various factors such as the type of battery, its quality, and usage patterns. Generally, solar panel batteries are designed to last between 5 to 15 years. However, with proper maintenance and care, some batteries have been known to last even longer.
Yes, solar panels can be leased or financed. Many companies offer leasing or financing options for solar panel installation, allowing homeowners and businesses to enjoy the benefits of solar power without the upfront cost. Leasing or financing arrangements typically involve monthly payments over a set period of time, making solar energy more accessible and affordable for a wider range of people.
