When you are at a higher altitude there is less air to dissipate the sunlight, and solar panels increase in efficiency at colder temperatures.

What is the difference between a negative the altitude and a positive altitude?
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
How many solar panels to generate 1500kw?
Well it depends on the power efficient of each solar panel and how much light they get. If you got panels that, in normal sunlight put out 100 watts; then for 1,500,000 watts you would need: 15 thousand panels. Now lets say you use two mirrors on each panel; then you would have about three times the light/power in normal light, so 1,500,000 divided by 300: so you would need 5000 panels and 10,000 mirrors.
What would happen if a hot air balloon rose higher and higher in the atmosphere?
After you hit a certain altitude, the air would become so thin, it would starve the flame making the balloon rise of oxygen, the flame would go out, and the balloon would come plummeting back down to earth
What would happen to solar panels if there was no sun out?
Nothing. Solar panels store heat inside so that on a cloudy day the solar panels work.
Why are the solar panels usually painted black?
If they are PV panels or heat pipe panels, they are not painted at all, paint would stop them working. Only a simple hot water radiator panel would be painted black and you would do this because the colour black absorbs all solar radiation, other colours reflect some of the suns energy.
How many solar panels would you need to generate 100 amps?

What would be the boiling point of alcohol at a higher altitude?
it depends on the altitude
What is the difference between a negative the altitude and a positive altitude?
Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
Why would it be harder to play basketball in denver than in portland?
the altitude. At higher altitude it is harder to breather because the air is thinner.
What can be done to raise the boiling point of water?
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
What would be the best source of creating electrical power in outer space?
Most satellites use solar panels to generate power because there aren't many other ways to generate power in space.
How would people have to adjust to live on or near the Rocky Mountains?
I would say that you should gradually move to higher and higher altitude and then you just move up higher by a little bit. Then you will feel better. And if you get altitude sickness, eat ginger snaps. Hope this helps! b
Would the air pressure in a valley be higher or lower than at sea level?
This depends on the altitude of this valley; generally is higher.
Are the contents of an aerosol can less at high altitude?
No, at a higher altitude there is less atmospheric pressure pushing on the contents of the can and the contents inside the can will expand and you would have more.
How would solar cells on the roof of the supermarket be beneficial to the environment?
Solar panels, photovoltaic (PV) panels, generate electricity that is free, clean (non-polluting) and renewable. These panels on the roof will reduce the demand for fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) energy, which is causing global warming.
How many solar panels do you need to generate 3 kva of electricity?
One solar panel wil generate about 5kw per day. So by simple math we can see that 25 solar panles will generate 100 kw per day. But a solar powered generator, if designed right can generate 100kw/hr's per day..
Would a basketball go faster than a beach ball?
Yes, it certainly would, if you threw it harder, or dropped it from a higher altitude.
