It depends on the power consumption and size of the school. Currently it would not be difficult to get panels for about a US dollar per watt. Schools may be able to get additional discounts.

What is the cost of Solar Power?

solar power from a concentrated solar power plant costs the same as electric from a fossil fuel pant. if you install home photovoltaic solar panels, it will cost up to $25,000. after installation, there is little maintenance and the panels will last over 30 years.


Does solar power cost less than fossil fuels?

Solar power only requires initial investment. The cost of setting up solar panels is high, but after that, the cost of maintenance is negligible.


Are solar panels for the home expensive or will it save you money?

Initially, solar panels are expensive. However, the savings incurred from using solar power will make up for the high cost, five to ten thousand dollars, of the solar panels.


What solar panel manufacturer offers the most cost-effective panels?

Sun Power solar panels offers a very efficient alternative energy plan. Offering a 40% discount on solar panels, Sun Power should prove to be a very cost efficient answer to meet your energy saving needs.


Are solar panels good or bad?

Solar panels are good for relatively low-power applications where getting a supply from the grid would be costly or difficult. For example, remote buildings, signs, temporary or mobile equipment. In residential applications, however, compared to the cost of electricity from the grid, the power generated by solar panels is not sufficient to pay for the cost of the panels and their installation.

Cost of solar panels?

ALOT!


How much could a school save from using solar panels for five years?

(amount of kilowatts used in 5 years X Average price of kiliowatts) - Cost of solar panels. Typical payback of solar panels is measured in decades, not years. Most solar panels will not recover their installation cost as of yet. They will degrade before the payback point is reached, unless you receive generous subsidies from the Government.


Are solar panels worth the money?

In the long term installing solar panels is worth the money. For example, a household of 2 adults and 3 children, before they got solar panels their monthly bill was $200 (AUD). But after they got solar panels their monthly bill was $45 (AUD). That was a saving of $155 (AUD). The solar power altogether was $1800 (AUD) so in a year the savings in the power bills would equal $1860 (AUD). Thats $60 (AUD) over what the cost of the solar power. In my opinion, solar power is worth the money.


When will solar power become a part of your every day lives?

It will take years for everybody to have solar power, because of the cost of the solar panels and such, but I would say that it would take at the most probably 50 years.


Is solar power suitable for Australia?

Solar power is extremely suitable for Australia, given its high proportion of sunlight. However, most solar panels currently installed in the country are not made for Australian conditions, and last only around 5-10 years, so some may not feel that solar power is suitable as the cost of hardier panels is very high.


What are some good things about using solar power?

Good: -Clean Energy -Zero depletion of fossil fuels -Free and abundant power source (sun) -Ability to put array (solar panels) anywhere there is light -Technology getting better Bad: -Cost of installation -Cost of maintenance -Size of array (solar panels) for mass power porduction -Power source isn't always around (sun)
