Answer:
Anytime you can harness the sun's energy, you are tied into the most powerful source of energy available anywhere. Solar cells are getting more efficient all the time. These solar cells can be used in so many ways. When at Costco the other day, I saw solar cells that can be taken with you when camping. These cells can be stored in a device that also inverts that energy to AC if needed. You can run all kinds of lights and devices, including your computer.
The advantage of using solar cells at home or in a business are many. You can actually produce more energy than you use. When this happens, the extra feeds back into the grid and you are paid for it. It's fun to see your power meter actually run backwards. With all the tax incentives, a solar system can pay for itself in as little as five years. With electric rates constantly rising, that could be worth a small fortune to you in the long run.
The sun is an infinite fuel source.
Solar panels are reasonably clean in manufacture and super clean in operation. The average house roof in the UK has enough space to generate the needs of the house hold once the energy load of the building has been optimised (This means AAA rated appliances low energy lighting etc), about 3.6kw.
So basically everyone can power there own home. The main stumbling block is capital cost of fitting them and storage as the power generated is often generated whilst the home is empty.
The best storage is either to send the energy back down the grid and get a credit or fuel cell technologies. There are now affordable fuel cell units available, however it will take time for people to recognise this as an option - people are inherently slow to change.
1. Solar energy is free although there is a cost in the building of 'collectors' and other equipment required to convert solar energy into electricity or hot water.
2. Solar energy does not cause pollution. However, solar collectors and other associated equipment / machines are manufactured in factories that in turn cause some pollution.
3. Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid.
4. Many everyday items such as calculators and other low power consuming devices can be powered by solar energy effectively.
5. It is estimated that the worlds oil reserves will last for 30 to 40 years. On the other hand, solar energy is infinite (forever).
Depends on the quality and how you treat solar panels. Generally, solar panels normally last from 20-30 years treated well enough, but for 50 years, you need to get a REALLY good quality solar panels. Average solar panels, last for about 20 years. Good panels can last for 50 years, but that is hard.
no they dont
Solar street lights are raised light sources which are powered by solar panels generally mounted on the lighting structure or integrated into the pole itself. The solar panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night. Most solar lights turn on and turn off automatically by sensing outdoor light using solar panel voltage. Solar streetlights are designed to work throughout the night. Many can stay lit for more than one night if the sun is not in the sky for an extended period of time.
One solution can be resolved by using solar panels as energy source.
" Daryl Chapin, with Bell Labs colleagues Calvin Fuller and Gerald Pearson, invented the first practical device for converting sunlight into useful electrical power."
The advantages of installing solar panels into your home is not having to use your air conditioning unit as much. This results in you not having to pay as much on your electrical bill.
The solar panels are not galvanized (plated with or hot dipped in zinc) it is the steel framework that the solar panels are mounted on that is galvanized.Galvanization protects the steel from rust and corrosion, extending the life of the system.
there is no pollution,free power do to no hastle solar panels and eco friendly.
no but solar panels are in solar calculators
it is renewable and its good for the environment also it saves u money however for having solar panels fitted it could cost u loads
A solar hot water system uses solar panels to heat the water. Some advantages of using a solar hot water system is it uses renewable energy, and it lowers heating costs.
Solar panels is correct.
An installation of solar panels.
In general solar panels are not hot. when panels are heated by the sun rays panels get hot
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.
