What are the disadvanteges of using solar power?
Solar panels are very expensive to make ad they require maintenance to keep up, there is also not a lot of space for the panels.
How many solar panels do they have in a solar farm?
THis depends on how large the solar farm is. It could range between 10-100 or sometimes somewhere up to 10,000 or 100,000
How would a solar power house get energy on a cloudy or rainy day?
sunlight can even go through the cloud's, but it is hard to pick up. but solar panels can pick up this little sunlight.
Does the position of the Sun affect the power generated by solar panels?
we can't change the position of the sun but the best position for solar panels is on open land high up on a hill and they should be black to absorb as much heat as possible to generate more pwer
Can a solar panel work if there's no sun?
No Solar panels do not work if the sun is not out the photovoltaic cells that make up a solar panel require sunlight to produce electricity not to say that you cant have a battery that gets charged up to use during the night.
Do solar panels run out of electricity?
no solar panels can't run out of electricity. this is because the sun provides there electricity but if the sun was to blow up then the solar panels would not work. no solar panels can't run out of electricity. this is because the sun provides there electricity but if the sun was to blow up then the solar panels would not work.
Are solar panels waterproof?
Most solar panels are waterproof. The panels are designed to resist water so that they hold up under all of the outdoor elements.
Are solar panels for the home expensive or will it save you money?
Initially, solar panels are expensive. However, the savings incurred from using solar power will make up for the high cost, five to ten thousand dollars, of the solar panels.
What is a solar farm?
A solar farm is a power station that runs of solar energy, They're called solar farms, both with reference to wind farms, and b/c they'll have huge fields(like a regular farm) all taken up by either mirrors or solar panels.

Why did Ronald Reagan remove the solar panels from the White House installed by Jimmy Carter?
These solar panels were a system for heating water with heat from the sun. They were taken down for repair and maintenance and never put back up. Apparently Reagan did not order them to be put back up, but I am not sure that he was consulted. Such systems were not efficient in 1985 as they are today,
What materials are needed for making solar panels?
This is an excellent website that will teach you everything you need to know about building solar panels: http://www.mdpub.com/SolarPanel/. Solar Panels are made up of solar cells, that convert sun energy into usable electricity. Normally the cells charge a bank of batteries that will power an inverter, which converts the DC into AC. You can now plug in devices and appliances you wish to power from your solar panels.
How many solar panels are in a solar plant?
The number of solar panels in an installation depends on a few factors, mainly the amount of physical space available for the installation and the required output for the panels. Residential and commercial solar grids for houses and businesses often utilize smaller panels and generally take up a smaller amount of space. The number of panels these installations use can range from just a few to a couple hundred. Solar power plants however have a very high expected output and take up a very large amount of land. As such, the number of panels at a solar power plant can be in the thousands. A solar power plant in Spain for instance has over 120,000 solar panels and produces 20 megawatts of power. The largest complete solar power plant currently resides in Ontario and boasts almost 100 megawatts of power and utilizes even more panels.
How does the solar heater heats up the water in the tank?
The solar panels absorb energy from then sun, the solar energy is then transformed into heat energy causing the water to heat up.
How much money does it usually cost to set up solar panels to gain energy for your home?
The price of setting up solar panels for ones home depends on how many panels one would like. Of course the more panels, the more electricity is gained. For an average home, the price would be twenty to twenty five thousand dollars for the panels, the converter, installation and wiring.
Where would one shop for Solar Electricity?
Both Lowes and Home Depot offer solar panels. When buying a solar panel, something to be conscious of is the increasing efficiency of solar panels. While they're currently not very efficient at extracting solar energy, that efficiency is constantly going up.
How can solar panels help save money?
just shut up and enjoy the savings!
