The total kW load is only a guide to the solar panel capacity. Any energy generated by the solar panel will reduce the energy you draw from the grid, which leads directly to less CO2 output at the power plants. But the power plant is still needed for when there is a cloudy day. When it's cloudy the solar panel output is drastically reduced, although they still produce power, as the salesmen are keen to emphasize, but what they don't tell you is that the power output is reduced by about 95%.

Also, in many countries, if your panels generate excess electricity you sell it back to the grid, so the capacity of the panels is not critical.

How do you identify which JPanel type panel caused the event in Java?

I never tried this, but it should work if you get the event source and cast it to a JPanel object. This is what it should look like:JPanel newPanel = (JPanel) event.getSource();What you did is assign the reference of the source panel to a new panel, and now you can go on with your code.

Does a 60947-3 switch have a breaking capacity?

All switches have a breaking capacity. The number 60947-3 is not a switch number it is an IEC standards publication that relates to panel mounted switches. The publication sets out specifications that manufacturers have to adhere to so as to get their equipment approved for use.


What happens if two 120 volt loads are connected in series to a 240 volts service?

Burn correctly if they were ordinary light bulbs having the same power rating.However, if the loads were different, such as a 100 watt lamp and a 40 watt lamp - neither of them would produce the same amount of light.If the loads were of very different types - say a 120 volt motor, which is a magnetic device, and a 120 volt computer, which is an electronic device - you can't say for sure how well they would each work when connected together in series across a 240 volt service without knowing a lot more facts about them.What happens will always depend on the individual resistances and impedances of each load and how different they are.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Can 100 amp distribution panel feed a 70 amp sub panel?

Yes they can. As long as the total load of all subs does not exceed the rated capacity of the main breakers, you should be fine, including 80 percent de-rating of any constant loads.

What is the maximum amps for a sub panel?

The size of the sub panel is dependant on the amount of connected loads and the amperage of these loads, or the total load in amps on how many new circuits that you will require.

What angel should solar panels be on?

The angle of the solar panel should be equal to the latitude of the location. So if you live in California at say 40 degrees latitude the panels should be at 40 degrees.


Does a sub panel need a ground conductor from main panel?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Yes, you have to have a ground rods connected to the system. This is especially important in North American systems as a split phase is in use. The center-point winding by code must be grounded. This is a backup in case the neutral conductor becomes open. If this backup was not in place, due to the configuration of the distribution panel, 240 volts could be applied across two 120 volt loads which would be a series connection. If the resistance across both of these series loads is equal nothing will happen as the voltage drop would be even at 120 volts. If the series load resistances are not even then uneven voltage drops will appear. This could cause higher that allowed current to flow through devices that would damage them. Periodic maintenance of the ground rod connections should be done by every homeowner to make sure the connections are clean and tight.


What are the most important things to know about solar panels before signing a contract?

How long does it take to charge batteries with a solar panel?

No set answer to that. It depends on the capacity of the battery, the size and efficiency of the solar panel and the intensity of the sunlight.


How much energy does a solar panel get from the sun?

It depends on the size of the solar panel and how well built the product is and the energy holding capacity of the battery.


How can you tell if you have 60 or 100 amp electrical service?

There are a few different ways. If there is a disconnect before the panel, it is usually labeled with it's max capacity or what the maximum fuses are, assuming it is a fused disconnect. If no disconnect is present, look at the main breaker for the entire panel. You can always check the main wires coming into your panel but opening a panel is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and should only be attempted by a trained Electrician.
