Solar panels require approximately 80 to 100 square feet to produce 1 kilowatt or 1000 watts of AC Power. In some cases there is more room required for tilted panels to avoid inter panel shading. For example, a 15,000 square foot flat roof can usually accommodate a 125-150KW or larger system solar power system depending on the mounting method.

Why do you put your solar panel on an angle?
On an angle to what? Presumably you mean the Earth's surface. They should not be at an angle to the Sun (although as the Sun moves during the day you'd need to motorise the solar panel to get it to keep accurately square to the Sun's rays). Anyway, the reason for this to make sure you get as much radiation onto the panel as possible. If you were to tilt the panel so that the rays hit it only obliquely then the heating effect would be reduced.
How big a solar panel is needed to light a 100W bulb?
One 25w solar panel for one 100w bulb. A 100-watt solar panel can produce about 400 watthours of power per day. A typical home consumes about 25,000 watthours per day. So you would need 62 one-hundred watt solar panels to run an average home.
What you need to go to the moon?
you need escape craft, space suits, food and drink, space ship, control panel, people, bathrooms, bedrooms
What size solar panel would you need to run a 5000 BTU air conditioner?
If you want to answer, give a size of panel and relavence to a given location, providing a scale to be applied to the problem at hand
How much land would need to be covered in solar panels to replace one nuclear power plant?
A typical Nuclear Plant with 4 units active generated 13,000 Megawatts of Electricity. A single Solar Panel Generates Just 200 Watts while its sunny. 1 mega watt is 1 million watts. 13,000 Mega watts is 13,000,000,000 Watts. So we divide 13,000,000,000 Watts by 200. we need 65,000,000 Solar Panels. 1 Solar panel covers approximately 4 by 4 Meters. So the area is 16 metre^2. 65,000,000 Multiplied by 16. 1,040,000 Kilometres of land.
How much energy can solar panel conserve?
Depends on the type of solar panel. You would need to look at the manufacturer's data to know the exact amounts.
How much solar panel need to charge 12v 180 ah battery?
To answer this question the output current and voltage of the solar panel would be needed.
How much energy does a 213 TV need from a solar panel?
The same amount it would need from your electrical supplier.
What are the panels the space probes wear called?
The panels on a space probe are called solar panels. Solar panels are panels that turn light into energy so astronauts and cosmonauts do not need to change the batteries. Not only do space probes have solar panels, some cars, houses, and all sorts of electronics can use solar panel. Solar panels do not pollute. This is why they use solar panels.
If I am looking to power an AC electric heater with a solar panel solar power being DC how do I determine the size of panel I will need?
just jok......
Why cant you use a transformer to increase the voltage of a 60V solar panel?
The output of a solar panel is direct current. Transformers need alternating current to operate.
How difficult is it to install a solar panel kit?
A solar panel kit is not incredibly difficult to install depending on how handy someone is. One can purchase solar panel kit at Home Depot that will come with all the instructions one would need.
Name A company thet sells materials needed to build your own solar panel?
A company that will sell you solar panel cells and other materials need to build your very own solar panel is EverBright Solar. (this is only one company that sells solar panel material, there may be many more)
Can you make a solar panel to generate a generator of 220 volts?
Yes but you will need vast area of space to put solar panels and they only work during the day. But with technology come by with more efficiently in collecting solar radiation, this is possible to be done on the roof of your house in the future.
Can you use a 0.4w 4.5v solar panel to charge a 4.8v battery?
Most likely not. In order to charge the battery to its nominal rated 4.8 volts, youreally need a source capable of more than 4.8 volts open-circuit.You need to take the solar panel and a voltmeter, and measure the output voltageof the solar panel with no load connected to it. If it's more than 4.8 volts, then itwill charge your battery.But . . .That's not saying anything about how long it will take. 0.4 watt is not an awful lotof power, and your solar panel will not even deliver that much before its outputvoltage sags to 4.8 . So I would think that this solar panel will not be an acceptablecharger for that battery.
Do solar panels need extra space to store energy?
NO
How do you prevent battery power discharge from solar panel charger?
You need to use a blocking diode wired in series to prevent battery discharge via the solar panel at times of no sunlight, eg nighttime.
