Selecting The Right Panels For A Solar Power Generator?
A solar power generator is only as effective as the solar panels that are used to capture the energy from the sun. It is important to choose solar panels that are appropriate for the conditions in an area. Some solar panels will generate large amounts of power in direct sun, but will generate almost nothing in weak ambient light. Other solar panels will not produce as much electricity in direct sun, but will generate energy even in indirect light. The ratings on the solar panels can help to show how a panel will perform under certain conditions.
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.
How long does it take to have solar panels installed in my home?
It depends on how many solar panels you are installing, but only takes around one day to install them. It can be short as few hours or long as a two days.
How can you make a cheap Solar panel?
Solar panels can be made cheap by finding alternative, lower cost materials and producing them in large quantities. Solar panels are gradually coming own in price but still take many years to recover the initial costs.
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 are solar panels built?
Solar panels are really just a collection of solar cells strong together to generate a current of a usable level sandwiched between a couple protective layers of class and protective coating. The solar cell uses a semiconductor material that when exposed to the Sun's photons generates a flow of electrons (current) that can be used to power a load. Take a look at the link I have included. Hope that helps. that is true. just to add that they are made of silicon
How do solar energy panels work?
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.
How many acres of solar power would it take to supply the US?
Since the U.S. is the largest consumer of energy, it would probably take the area of Alaska in solar panels.............and it would get very dark after nightfall.
Does solar panels use batteries?
no solar panals don't use batteries because the sunlight is the batteries. the sun is a resource of batteries. the solar panels take energy from the sun, then at night it use the energy from the sun that is collected in the day.
How the chloroplast works?
Like solar panels. take sunlight and turn it into energy for cell. there is so many questions like it, why do i even bother to answer?
Do windmills take up to much land?
Yes windmills take up to much land. it takes about 120 square meters per windmill, knowing that now, I believe we should stop windmills and start using solar panels. They are now making cheaper solar panels, so that more people can use solar panels and stop windmills.
How can you use the energy of the sun?
you can use the energy of the sun by solar panels. Solar panels asorb the Sun`s heat and turns it into energy. You can only use this outside, and it can take awhile for it to power something
