It's just like any other budget. You start by figuring out how many watts you use.

How many solar panel can generate 1 mega watt?

it depends on your solar panels, i can tell you if you know the amperage and the volts, you can find the amount of watts it produce, the equation is watts = amps x volts. hate to give you an equation as an answer


How do solar panels know when the sun is out?

Solar Panels know when the sun is out when it feels the warmth and it starts producing energy.


What is the cost for Solar panels for a solar farm?

You have to know what your needs are. How many hours? How many watts? Room for future expansion? There are plenty of professional solar installers sites on the internet that will give you free estimates and provide you with all the information to make a sensible choice.

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 needed to produce 30 amps AC.?

To answer this question I need to know what the amperage output is or watts and voltage for the type of solar panel you have. If you are trying to get actual numbers, do not use the rated voltage output of the panel. That is how they get the maximum theoretical output. (that can not happen). You need to look at the source you are feeding for this voltage. A car battery, for example, is 13 VDC or so. (13.6 at full charge, 12 VDC if almost dead) You can then take the maximum current rating of the panel and determine that if not shorted, you will get about 75% of that current. Let's assume you mean that you want 30 amps AC at 220VAC. That is 6600 watts. To get one hour of that amount of power would take roughly 8500 watts of solar panels at full sunlight. If you want that amount of power over a 24 hour period, the total panels would need to be roughly 10 times that amount, or 660,000 watts of panels. If you are buying 100 watt panels, you need 660 of them. This is the BEST case for that level of power. Your inverter will not produce energy at 100% either. We also ignore any battery loss or wiring issues. Heat is going to give you loss also, unless you have good wiring.

How are solar panels useful?

Solar panels produce electricity from the sun's rays without any harmful carbon emissions which are causing global warming. This should be reason enough. The more solar panels there are the less need there is for burning of fossil fuels.
