Why are solar panels not widely used?
My guess is that integrating solar panels into pre-existing energy networks would be difficult and costly. You also have to wonder how many solar panels we would need to replace the electricity we use. I imagine it would take very many solar panels just to keep a corporate building in power. I assume there would also be much protest towards solar panels coming from the electric companies. If we all switched to solar, the electric companies would either go out of of business or be forced to convert.
Should solar panel KW capacity equal to the total KW loads?
The total kW load is only a guide to the solar panel capacity. Any energy generated by the solar panel will reduce the energy you draw from the grid, which leads directly to less CO2 output at the power plants. But the power plant is still needed for when there is a cloudy day. When it's cloudy the solar panel output is drastically reduced, although they still produce power, as the salesmen are keen to emphasize, but what they don't tell you is that the power output is reduced by about 95%. Also, in many countries, if your panels generate excess electricity you sell it back to the grid, so the capacity of the panels is not critical.
What are the energy issues you are facing in the world that would make a solar cooker a viable option for many people?
The energy issues we are facing in the world that would make a solar cooker a viable option for many people include the lack of renewable resources that are available. Wind power and wave power are not as readily available as solar power.
How can solar panels be used to heat water for a house or workplace?
Strictly, solar panels refer to photovoltaic (PV) panels, that turn sunlight into electricity. Heating water is a different system. Water is pumped to your roof where it lies exposed in some way to the sun, heating up. If the water in your ground level tank is colder than the water on the roof, the tiny pump keeps running, and your tank fills with hot water. There are many slightly different systems, but the principle is the same.
How do you install solar panels on a roof?
First Process of installing solar panels onto the roof is determining which direction you are going to place the panels, this is important as it will effect how much energy they produce. South being the best then west then east. (reverse if you're in southern hemisphere). After locating the roof face you want to mark the area you will install the panels, and locate the rafters marking where they are(if tile S tiles remove tiles). Then mark where you will put your stand-offs, generally every 4' to 6', depending on your racking. Then install your stand-offs and racking. After racking is in place you can lay your solar panels, and clamp them down with clips or how ever the racking system you purchased them recommends(read racking manual as there are many types of racking systems). Once this is done you will need to put grounding nuts on each of the solar panels. Run your EMT and wiring to a junction box, from there to the AC disconnect(if required) to Inverter to DC disconnect(if required) then into the service panel. Recommend visiting local electric company to see require regulations to back feed onto the grid.
If you had a solar power house how would you power your building?
The solar power can power your house. Solar power energy can be used to power many things, it just depends on how many solar panels you have. Tioga Energy specializes in solar power. They install and facilitate the solar panels but the customer agrees to buy power from the power generated from the solar panels.www.tiogaenergy.com
What are some new ways to make energy?
Wind power, solar panels, hydroelectric, etc.
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
How many solar panels to power the electronics on sailboat?
It depends on the amount of electronics ! You'd have to work out the power consumption of all the appliances etc, and compare that with the capabilities of solar panels.
How many solar panels is needed to power a town?
Depends on how big the town is to answer this question.
How many solar panels to power a city?
Specification on 'How large is the City?' is needed to answer this question.
How many watts does solar make?
Solar panels can make enough watts to power your whole house if you have enough of them. Some solar panels will generate 50 watts, 80 watts or 120 watts.
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 many batteries and solar panels are used in 5kva solar solution?
5kva solar inveter use how many panels
What is the hypothesis of solar powered airplane?
A solar powered airplane is not an hypothesis. There have been many successful experimental flights. A solar powered plane uses electric motors powered by solar panels (or sometimes batteries charged with solar power). At the present time solar panels are only efficient enough to power very light planes.
