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.

Can solar power power your whole house?
Solar electric panels can definitely produce enough electricity to power everything in your home. An "off-grid" house refers to a home that is not connected to the electrical grid and must generate its own power (usually through solar or wind). Though these houses aren't exactly common in North America, there are probably more of them than you think. The number of solar panels you would need to "power your whole house" depends on how many kilowatt hours of electricity your family uses per month.
What is a unequipped solar house called?
An "unequipped" solar house?That would be just a 'normal' house.Would it not?
Why haven't solar power replaced the use of fossil fuels?
Solar power has not replaced the use of fossil fuels for several reasons. First, solar power goes off at night. A way would need to be found to store it. Second, the sun goes behind clouds and it rains. When the sun does not rain, power is still necessary. More power is needed in the winter when less sunshine is available. It would be possible to produce a lot of solar power in the desert south west, however, high tension direct current lines would be needed to bring the power east. Politics have prevented the building of those power lines.
What is the major limitation of solar power?
The major limitation of solar power is that it only works during the day, when there is sunlight, and produces no power at night in the dark. Some people have suggested that we could generate solar power by means of orbital satellites which could be placed in orbits that would expose them to sunlight all the time, and this does get around the problem, although building satellites tends to be expensive.
Where would you find a solar panel?
on a house
How would a solar power house get energy on a cloudy or rainy day?
sunlight can even go through the cloud's, but it is hard to pick up. but solar panels can pick up this little sunlight.
What would happen to solar power if there was no Sun?
Solar is Sun so without the Sun there is no solar.
Can I run a 3000 square foot house on one solar power gennerator?
It would be very expensive to run any house on solar power, but an integrated system is required. First you'd have to have the home be extremely efficient to limit the amount of power needed. Then you'd need a lot of solar panels to provide an excess of power and a lot of batteries to store the power for when the sun wasn't available. In other words that is possible, but right now it's really not practicable.
Why would you recommend solar power?
My family doesn't use solar power but I would reccomend it because it's cheaper and freindlier to the enviroment.
What are the dis advantages of solar power?
you would not have to
What are bad things about solar power?
Its expensive to build, or put solar panels on house roofs. It has a long payback time. Solar panels are ugly and big. The sun isnt always out, especially in places like UK, where as Spain it would be perfect.
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.
