How much land does a nuclear power plant need?

How much land do you need to build a 1 MW solar Farm?

Depends on the efficiency of your solar panels and location on earth. Some areas get more sun than others. Also, are the panels fixed or directional? Typically 4.5-7 acres depending on the various factors.


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.


Can solar cells used in mobile phones?

No, cell phones draw too much power to be supplied by solar cells, unless you used a large solar panel. But you certainly can't build a solar cell into the back of the phone like you would a solar calculator. For example, one web source says a cell phone draws about 1 W. Another web source says solar panels can put out about 1.2 W for 100 cm2 in bright sunlight. So to power the cell phone you'd need a solar panel at least as large as a CD, probably more like a sheet of paper.


Why cant you use a transformer to increase the voltage of a 60V solar panel?

The output of a solar panel is direct current. Transformers need alternating current to operate.

How much land would need to be covered in solar panels to replace one nuclear power plant?

A typical Nuclear Plant with 4 units active generated 13,000 Megawatts of Electricity. A single Solar Panel Generates Just 200 Watts while its sunny. 1 mega watt is 1 million watts. 13,000 Mega watts is 13,000,000,000 Watts. So we divide 13,000,000,000 Watts by 200. we need 65,000,000 Solar Panels. 1 Solar panel covers approximately 4 by 4 Meters. So the area is 16 metre^2. 65,000,000 Multiplied by 16. 1,040,000 Kilometres of land.

How much space is need for 1 MW solar inverter?

There are various factors that we need to consider while setting up a solar power plant. A solar company can give you accurate estimation of land and all other things required to set up 1 MW solar power plant.So let's do some calculations on the area required for 1 MW solar panels only:1MW = 1000kW = 1000000WIF 250 W solar panels are used -THEN no of solar panels = 1000000W/250 =4000 panels1 250 W solar panel requires 1.6 SqM of land area,So1.6 SqM * 4000 = 6400 SqMThis is the area required for solar panels. Again you'll have to to add extra space to avoid shadowing on solar panels.So technology wise, the land required for a 1 MW power plant setup is around 4.5-5 acres for Crystalline technology and around 6.5-7.5 acres for Thin-Film technologyNow coming back to you question - 1 60kW solar inverter requires around 1.08 SqM area. So,1000kW/60kW = 17 Inverters17 X 1.08 SqM = 18.38 SqMSo around 20 SqM space is required for 1 MW solar inverter.
