When solar power was made?

Solar power has been made since the first star ignited.


What percent of the world uses solar power?

7.86% of the entire world uses solar power that has been created by solar panels...........only 0.093% of the world actually owns solar panels......


How old is solar power?

since the sun has been around


Has solar power been used successfully in the past?

Yes, there are large solar farms and solar power stations successfully in use, and millions of homes around the world use solar power to heat their water.Solar panels (PV, photovoltaic) are used to change sunlight into electricity, which can be stored in batteries or connected to the electricity grid.Concentrated solar power plants (CSP) usually use a series of mirrors to focus the sun's rays on a tower where something like water, or molten salt is heated to several hundred degrees Celsius. This heat then generates electricity by steam turbines.The three largest CSP plants are:Mohave Desert, California, 354 MWSolnova, Spain, 150 MWAndasol, Spain, 150 MWThe largest PV plants so far are:Agua Caliente, USA, 220 MWCharanka, India, 214 MWGermany has been particularly successful in encouraging domestic PV connections. As of 31st of October 2012, there were 31.62 GW (gigawatts) of photovoltaics connected to the electrical power network.


What size solar system is needed to run a chest freezer?

If you are referring to solar-electric power, there are no specific power requirements for a chest freezer. The problem is that most solar-electric systems are designed to be connected to the normal power grid. If you have a power failure, your solar power system will automatically shut down. This is to protect electric utility workers from being shocked and injured by solar power systems providing power to a neighborhood that has been disconnected from the normal grid. In order to use your solar system even when the grid is down, you'll need a device that will isolate your solar system from the grid when the grid power is down. THEN we can talk about how much solar power you'll need to power your freezer. Remember that when the Sun goes down, you'll lose your solar power; if you intend that the freezer should continue to work at night or bad weather, you'll need either a backup generator or a whopping huge stack of batteries. Will you want power for anything else? Lights? Refrigerator? Furnace? Add it all up and then double it, so that there will be enough power tomorrow to not only run the system but also recharge the batteries.

Is solar power used everywhere?

Yes, solar power is used everywhere because the sun goes around the world. Although it might not been used at the same time every where.


What is solo power?

Are you sure it's right? You may have been listening to a north-eastern native resident from a small village in Transylvania with a lisp trying to say "solar power." If this is the case, which I'm sure it is, then solar power is process by which solar surfers empower their solar sails while competing in the Nation International Universal Solar Surfing Competion, or NIUSSC.
