If you are planning on using this for powering your home you should obtain at least ten times the rated value, or 12KW of solar panles to maintain the system at half of rated power.
That much solar panel space will require enough maintenance o it's own and you would be much further ahead to buy off the self units. They tend to fair better in weather and can last over ten years in most areas.
You may wish to view a solar power chart for your area before investing. In Wisconsin we average two full sun hours a day so payback runs over the life span of the panels. In warmer climates you also get serious power loss due to temperature issues. Solar panels do not preform as well in temps over 80 degrees. By 100 (in te sun) they lose a fair portion of their ability to generate power. You may wish to do what power companies do with "green power" and have a back up generator around to supplement the system.
I have a wind/ solar arrangement that will payback in under 100 years, unless the system has troubles. There is no actual savings here, or true green. The fuel used to build these panels is never saved over their life. I was very disappointed when I installed mine. I get about 120 watts a day from each 75 watt panel due to the weird way that panels are rated. I honestly wish someone had told me this before I dove in. Ebay has many panels and many similar stories.
Solar inverter modifies the electricity from the solar panels and changes it to power the appliances in a house. This inverter has a special feature that can adapt for use with photovoltaic arrays.
NO! I recently tried connecting a 12 volt inverter to my solar panels that have an 18 volt output. The inverter fried in under a minute.
Samptel Energy Pvt. Ltd. is manufacturing & supplying all types of Solar AC Distribution Box (Solar ACDB), Solar AC Combiner Box for Single Inverter or Multiple Inverter since last 2017.

Solar electric panels are made up of silicon, the same thing that makes up sand. When sunlight hits a solar panel, it makes electrons in the silicon move around. The electrons flow through wires that were built into the solar panel. When the sun stops shining on the solar panel, its electrons stop moving and electricity stops flowing. electricity in the batteries can be used at night, or when the sun is behind the clouds. · If you want to be able to use electricity at night you can attach batteries. · Electricity from a solar panel flows into attached batteries while the sun shines, and then the stored. ·
You need to provide many more details. So assuming that the panel voltage is reasonable, the panel is clean, it is sunny and the panel is pointed at the sun. Then it will take about 225/7 hours to charge the battery. About 300 hrs. But in fact charging is only about 85% efficient (charge at 14 V get energy out at 12V or so). This ups the charge time to maybe 350 hrs or so. Charging can be improved by inserting a MPPT charger between the battery and the panel. This bit of electronics decouples the battery voltage and the panel voltage allowing the panel to be operated at its' most efficient voltage. That might knock off 15% of charge time bringing you back to 300 sunny hours.
Batteries are not used in solar panel construction
Yes, Its good alternate solution but by using non-solar inverter it requires manual switching. (Solar charge controller will no longer works) & In Solar inverter, its easy switching & more life (solar inverter manufacturers gives max 5 years warranty) As we use more panels in parallel it charges battery quickly.
With the appropriate charging unit, any recharegeable battereis can be charged by solar energy.

No set answer to that. It depends on the capacity of the battery, the size and efficiency of the solar panel and the intensity of the sunlight.
With the proper charging equipment, yes.
they are 1) solar panel 2) charge regulator 3) battery 4) inverter.
A solar collector, or solar panel is what collects solar energy. The energy that is generated by the solar collector is then routed to either a battery or an inverter that converts the energy to AC voltage.
Most solar power kits will include the solar panels, power inverter, mounting brackets, cables, and instructions for installation. Some solar power kits can come with batteries for storing the electricity.
Solar energy panels take the energy or photons from the sun and turn it into electricity with an inverter. The electricity can be stored in batteries, or be wired straight into an electrical device.
Solar inverter modifies the electricity from the solar panels and changes it to power the appliances in a house. This inverter has a special feature that can adapt for use with photovoltaic arrays.
Yes, but you might have to change your inverter to match the new power companies requirements.
