How does a solar panel installer benefit from unused electricity?
The solar panels are linked into the electricity meter for the property. Any 'unused' solar power that's generated is fed into the National Grid - the power company supplying the property then pays the customer for any power generated. This means that, over time, the initial cost of the solar array installation is recovered in full !
What is the disadvantage of using solar cells?
The major disadvantage of solar power or solar energy is the cost of the photovoltaic panels. The location of your home in relation to sunlight, how many hours per day of sun you receive, and the amount of energy you use monthly determines the size of the photovoltaic panels. Estimates range between $7--10 per square foot for photovoltaic panels. The average price for a home is typically around $20,000 and can be much higher. Ahead of the curve companies are starting to provide more reasonably priced options, as they see the value in making solar home energy affordable and available to wide range of the public. Local and state governments are working hard to help offset high costs with subsidies, tax breaks, and tax credits. However, the average cost remains relatively high a home with solar panels is going to pay around 30 cents per Kilowatt hour after you factor in the cost of the solar panels, compared to a home on the electrical grid that pays around 9.5 cents per kilowatt hour. As you can see, photovoltaic panels cost three times as much per kilowatt hour. Another disadvantage of solar power is the fact we do not have the technology to use solar panels effectively in places without ample sunshine. Most of us don't live in sunny places like Florida, Hawaii, or portions of California. The majority of people live in areas that are seasonal and when daylight hours are shorter, the amount of energy solar power panels can produce is limited or nonexistent. Without the sun, solar panels are useless because there is no "solar power." There are ideas floating around about building solar power towers. These solar power towers would work much in the same way our current electricity producing plants work today. They would be in a centralized locale and provide energy to the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the idea is still in its early stages and the projected cost is extremely high. Although the disadvantages of solar energy are undeniable at this point, there is ample reason to have hope for the future. The interest in alternative energy and specifically solar energy is growing, and as more people demand this technology, the more that funding and research will increase.
The homeowner who pays to install photovoltaic “solar panels” for their own personal use could technically be “Off-The-Grid”. How would this homeowner deal with the intermittency of the sun, while still having household electricity?
n the ongoing debate over whether Feed-In Tariff’s (FIT) are justified for residential solar PV one issue seems to be overlooked completely. And this is, who is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of these household solar systems?
Match each of the protectionist policies below with an example of government action that fits the definition. A. Tariff The government limits the import of sugar from other countries. B. Quota The gov?
Tariff: the government puts a high tax on sugar made in other countries quota: the government limits the import of sugar from other countries subsidy: the go pays sugar garnered to keep sugar prices low
What is the main purpose of tariffs on imports?
Tariffs provide revenue for the country buying the imported goods. If a country wants to export goods to a country, they have to pay a tariff(tax) to be allowed to do so. China pays very low tariffs to the US on the goods they export to us.
