Best Answer

A single photovoltaic cell typically develops a small voltage ... like 1/2 volt ... in full

sunlight, and delivers between 1 milliampere and 2 amperes of short-circuit current

depending on its area.

For more voltage, several cells are connected in series. For more current, several

cells are connected in parallel.

The solar array that powers the International Space Station is capable of 140 kilowatts.

What can solar panels do?

Solar panels receive energy from the Sun and use it to produce electricity. They are much cheaper to maintain than oil-powered electricity generators and oil storage tanks. Solar panels are also friendlier to the environment because they let off less pollution to the atmosphere compared to the smelly emissions which come from oil tanks.


How much power can solar panels hold when there's no sunlight?

Solar panels do not hold power they convert sunlight to electricity. This is stored in batteries or capacitors. The amount would depend on the rating of the capacitor or battery.


How much would it cost to replace Fukushima with solar panels?

Fukushima Generates around 13,000 Mega watts of electricity. You need 434 Solar Panels for 1 Mega Watts. Calculation 434 Multiplied by 13,000 Equals to 5,642,000 Solar Panels. Cost of 1 solar panel 3,500 $ So 3,500 Multiplied by 5,642,000 = 14,747,000,000 USD. A single Nuclear Powerplant costs 400 Million USD.


How heavy is a solar panel?

Solar panels weigh anywhere from 3.5 pounds to 4 pounds per square foot. Larger panels can weigh as much as 14 pounds. It is important to keep in mind the age of the property when determining how much the solar panels weigh and how much the property can handle.


How much power can a solar panel produce?

A typical solar panel will produce about 75% of the rated power during full sunlight hours if the weather is cool enough to allow for operation. Warm weather or clouds will degrade their performance. Most panels produce less power during their expected life then what it takes to build a unit.

How you can produce electricity in home in low cost?

You can get solar panels and wind turbines. They're pretty much free to run, but it will cost to buy and install them.


What do solar panels replace?

coal, oil, and gas for electricity and transportation. Solar power and panels replace all fossil fuels and are much better for the earth.


How many solar panels are needed to use solar energy?

it depends on how much electricity the device your using needs


How expensive are solar panels for a home?

Solar panels range from 200 dollars to thousands. It depends on how much energy you want to generate and how big the solar panels are. Bigger panels make more energy, and they cost a lot more. But once you buy it, you won't have to pay for electricity bills.

Is solar energy widely accepted?

Not as Much as Wind, Because Solar Panels Cost More Than Wind Turbines , If the Two Create The Same Amount Of Energy The Solar Would Have Costed More to produce the Panels.
