Genrally speaking five 200 watt modules will make a 1kW DC solar electric generator. There are many solar module manufacturers and many sizes and shapes. However the 200Watt range appears to be a constant due to the size and weight of the module as it applies to OSHA installation requirements.
The number of solar panels needed to run a house depends on factors such as energy consumption, location, roof size, and panel efficiency. On average, a typical household in the US may need between 20-30 solar panels to cover their energy needs. It is recommended to have a professional solar installer assess your specific requirements for an accurate estimate.
Solar panels that convert sunlight to electrical energy are an application of insolation.
Solar energy reaches Earth instantaneously as sunlight, but it takes time to convert this energy into electricity through solar panels. Once sunlight is absorbed by solar panels, it can be converted into electricity. This process happens in milliseconds.
Solar panels produce electrical energy when sunlight falls directly on them. The power of sunlight is about 1400 watts in every square metre and a solar panel converts some of that into volts and amps. Solar panels need direct sunlight falling face-on to produce a significant amount of electrical power. They also produce a very small amount of power when turned towards a bright sky without direct sunlight, and an even smaller amount on a cloudy day.
the chloroplast is like the solar panel because the chloroplast uses sunlight energy to give the plant (or cell itself) raw energhy. And the solar panels use sunlight to help the rides move with energy.
crap crap
Solar panels are a great alternative for electricity. A solar panel can give an RV access to anything that a power supply can give. Solar panels can help heat the water tank and even run the stove or microwave in an RV.
Solar panels make very much noise when the sun is shining brightly on them and the photo-voltaic cells in the panels give off a form of carbon methane that causes air pollution. The transmitters that convert the sun's energy into electricity also give off harmful gases such as carbon methane and carbon monoxide.
Solar power has advantages. One advantage of solar power is that solar power can be consistently used for power. Solar energy will never run out. Another advantage of solar power is that the energy is clean. Typical solar panels live for about ten years. Energy payback from a typical installation is about 40 years. As a result, most panels will never give back as much power as they took to build.
A good website to learn about solar panels that are on sale would be www.ecodirect.com. They list a bunch of solar panels for sale and also give information about the benefits of using solar power.
My Husband and I Installed installed thin solar panels almost 2 years ago and I posted my review on the company's service. I cant give you an estimate because It would depend on how much energy your need to build up. but all that is easy to calculate, solar panels now a days are fairly cheaper. I'm in 2011 now and it seems that solar panels get cheaper as the years pass.
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
