Best Answer

Solar Radiation in Gary Indiana is about 2.5 kWh per square metre per day. Solar power systems can last 30 years. For a 1 kW solar system about 25230 kWh will be generated over its lifetime.

Variable include cost of solar installation and cost of electricity from the grid.

How many output is 150W solar panel?

The power listed on the solar panel presumably is the peak power. This power is the maximal power outup of the solar panel, which is only reached under ideal solar irradiation conditions. For comparison: a energy efficient computer uses about 150 W .

Why is solar energy more efficient in space?

The energy from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) needs oxygen to burn. This is not available in space. What is available is lots of sunlight. So solar power is the best and most efficient answer to provide power in space.


What natural resources are required to have solar power?

Well solar power is powered by the sun. The UV radiation gets absorbed by something in solar panels. This then creates energy and makes power. It's more efficient but also costs a lot, so people rarely use it.


Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?

There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
