One would easily be enough, but it would have charge a battery during the day to power the light at night.

Do solar panels reflect light?
no, solar panels don't reflect light
Where does solar energy come from?
Simply put, solar, meaning Sun, energy comes from the Sun. Solar energy is captured by plants through photosynthesis, and by humans through solar panels. Photovoltaic cells are assembled into large panels which are then organized into "farms" of photovoltaic panels. Photo, meaning light, and voltaic, meaning electricity, means that these panels harness energy from light. Light from the Sun strikes these panels and is transferred into energy.
What is solar street light?
A solar street light is the same as a typical electric street light; however, it is powered by the sun and is typically grid free. The solar panel provides the energy needed to run the light at night and stores the energy in a battery bank. At night, the photocell (solar panel) sees that there is no more sun available and turns the light on. The light runs during the night using the power provided in the battery bank. Most commercial solar street lights provide up to 5 days of backup storage for cloudy and rainy days.
Does a satellite use light energy?
Of course it uses solar energy. There are solar panels in a satellite.
Is the sun the only source for solar panels?
This is a yes and a no. No, the moon can provide good light for solar panels, but yes, since the way the moon shines is by the sun reflecting off of it.
Do solar panels reflect light?
no, solar panels don't reflect light
What is automatic solar street light?
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.
What are the Examples of light energy to chemical energy?
There is Solar Panels? There is Solar Panels?
Are solar panels safe for the enviorment?
yes, because solar panels use the sun for light.
How many solar panels is needed to get twelve hours of 25 amps?
The answer will depend on where on earth the solar panels are located, how efficient the panels are at converting solar radiation into electricity.
What equipment is needed to obtain the solar energy?
The Sun and Solar Panels
Do solar panels need heat or light?
light
Why is gold used as the reflective surface of some solar panels?
A thin layer of gold that is transparent to visible light but reflective to infrared light is used to keep the temperature of the panels down. This is important in space where the atmosphere does not block solar infrared light, but not needed on the surface of earth.
What are the panels the space probes wear called?
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.
How does solar panels light work?
It is a kind of solar light. And it may use a solar panel as power source.
What are photovoltaic panels?
Are Solar panels that convert light energy into electrical energy
I am doing a school project How many solar panels are needed to make 15 megawatts?
it depends how big the solar panels are and were they are situated
