Yes, solar panels can increase the value of your property. Studies have shown that properties equipped with solar panels have higher resale values compared to those without. Solar panels offer energy savings, environmental benefits, and potential tax incentives, making them an attractive feature for potential buyers. Additionally, as renewable energy becomes increasingly popular, properties with solar panels are likely to be in higher demand, further boosting their value.
Photo-Voltaic solar panels are very expensive. Most of a home's energy needs are for heating water, heating and air-conditioning. All of these can be met with thermal solar collectors which are much less expensive. The thermal solar panels would heat water stored in a hot water tank which then can be used as hot water, to heat the home, or as the heat source to a Lithium Bromide Absorption chiller to air-condition a home. With the base line needs met without expensive panels and without inefficient energy conversions, only a small Photo-Voltaic array would be needed for the remaining power needs and since those needs are variable, there would still be power to sell to the grid.
I agree with you John and for the same reason already put forth as a negative. Solar thermal is a more mature technology. This is the reason why I spent so much of the last winter studying it. I can be reasonably sure that what I learn will not be obsolete tomorrow with a new technological breakthrough. I built a solar addition/greenhouse to personally study the effects. So solar thermal panels are not the only way to go. With respect to electrical production. I have seen parabolic reflectors coupled to stirling engines and solar thermal trough heaters used to supplement steam generation for alternatively gas fired steam / electrical generation plants. On a trip to China over 4 years ago I noticed solar hot water vacuum tube collectors being sold in their local hardware and big box style stores. These were gravity fed package units intended to have the tank on the roof with a supplemental electric backup. The vacuum tube collectors seem to be one of the latest innovations in this technology. Using phase change materials temperatures in these panels can be produced in excess of 400 deg F. and they are useful in colder temps and on cloudy days. While they are still costly for many applications, I have been discussing the use of vacuum tube collectors with the owner of a laundrymat. Solar thermal will not pay back as well as conservation in many cases of older construction, but it currently seems better than photovoltaic panels. Solar thermal requires more understanding of systems and relative efficiencies. In one way solar thermal is more like the electric car while the internal combusion engine is like photovoltaic. The idea of producing electricity from the sun is a sexier idea. It is also more in line with our paridigm of: just producing lots of energy and to H with any conservation efforts. For that reason it seems to get more press.
will at least consider them for their home electricity? I've seen several articles that new technologies are now being used, but it doesn't seem to be promoted to residential apps. I've even seen that the solar technology will be used in paints in the near future.
Solar panels are cost effective if they are used over their payback period. The problem is that the down payment is expensive, and the payback period is maybe 0-20 years, so very few people actually expect to own their homes for 0-20 years. It also only really makes sense in areas that buy back electricity generated during the day when you're not using it. In Germany and other european countries, power companies are required to buy back electricity at a higher price than they sell it for--this reduces the payback period and is a great incentive for solar panels. For this reason, they are much more popular over there. Given a little time for the price to fall and given some change in energy policy, solar panels will become more cost effective in the future. Depends on who gets elected, though. There is a solution to the payback period problem, though. Rather than homeowners taking on the long payback period in homes they may not own long enough, some companies are buying panels and leasing them to homeowners. In exchange, homeowners get reduced electric bills, that pay off the lease payments, plus a little extra. I think this is the way to go. check out the link below.
i have to do a science fair project and thought it would be cool to make a solar powered vw bus. i have 2 6volt solar panels to power a dc motor that works off of 9v 2v or 8v. i also bought a 2nd motor because the first wasnt workin for us. this one is a 3v motor. ive had them in the sun but they wont work. please help, thanks

Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high levels of noise from transportation. Noise pollution does not directly affect the functionality of solar panels as they primarily rely on sunlight to generate electricity. However, it is important to ensure that the installation of solar panels is done properly to avoid any physical damage caused by vibrations or other factors associated with transportation noise.
I really want a projector but i hear they use a lot of energy because of the lamp. I want a good one to watch movies and play games on. but i don't want one that is gonna kill the lighting bill.is there like a solar panel or something i could use for it. PLZ HELP.
Do understand, that a solar panel is slow to pay for itself. Let's say your electric bill was $200 a month ($2400 a year). A solar system would cost perhaps $24,000 so you would actually have paid your first 0 years of electricity in advance when installing the panels. After that 0 years, you start to be ahead financially. It can still be a good idea, but it may not be the quick and cheap solution you were looking for.
Yes, solar panels do work in cloudy weather. While they may not produce as much electricity as they would on a sunny day, they can still generate power from diffused sunlight. Cloudy conditions can reduce the efficiency of solar panels, but they are still capable of converting light into electricity, making them a viable option for renewable energy even in less sunny areas.
Yes, solar panels can be used for off-grid living. Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into usable energy, making them an excellent option for those living in remote or off-grid locations. With the right setup, solar panels can provide a reliable and sustainable source of power, allowing individuals to live independently without relying on traditional power grids.
