There is definitely some power loss during transmission from satellites to Earth. The exact amount isn't really known since such a system doesn't exist currently. However, I would actually expect it to be somewhat low due to the direct nature of the signal. I would imagine more loss occurs during conversion into microwaves and back into electricity before and after transmission.

How long does a solar cycle last?

Most solar panels would last about 25 years Most solar panels would last about 25 years ---------------------------------------------------------------- from www.solarcells101.com Most solar panels are rated 25 years But its hard to say because most of the first solar panels in the 1980s are still putting out power they will have a power loss over time but free power for this long is very cool David www.solarcells101.com


What percentage of the suns energy is scattered or reflected back into space what causes this loss of solar energy?

Roughly 30% of the sun's energy is scattered or reflected back into space primarily due to interactions with the Earth's atmosphere, clouds, and surface. This loss of solar energy occurs through processes like Rayleigh scattering, absorption, and reflection.


What are the pros and cons on liquid solar blankets?

Liquid solar blankets can help reduce water evaporation and heat loss in pools, which can lead to energy savings. However, they need to be reapplied frequently and may not be as effective as physical covers in retaining heat. Additionally, some liquid solar blankets can affect water chemistry and filtration systems.


How effective are solar rings?

Solar Sun Rings are safer and are capable of generating more heat that a solar cover. The effect is that Solar Sun Rings with 70% to 80% coverage outperform bubble pack covers with 100% coverage. cheers mark tahiliani (jm)


What caused Mars' atmosphere to decinagrate and lose all its liquid water?

As Mars has cooled, its core has solidified and its geodynamo stopped. The loss of Mars' magnetic field allowed more solar energy to reach the surface. That solar radiation heat dissipated the surface water and atmosphere. Also, because Mars' gravitational field is not as strong as earth's, it was much easier for atoms and molecules at the top of the atmosphere to escape to space. Over millions of years this process led to the loss of most of Mars' atmosphere.

How is energy loss reduced during transmitted from power stations to homes?

Energy loss is reduced during transmission from power stations to homes by using high-voltage transmission lines that can carry electricity efficiently over long distances. Transformers are used to step up the voltage at the power station and step it down at the homes, minimizing energy loss during transmission. Additionally, regular maintenance of transmission lines and equipment helps to keep the system running efficiently.


Why is the voltage stepped up before transmission?

Voltage is stepped up before transmission in electrical power systems to reduce energy losses during long-distance transmission. According to Ohm's Law, power loss is proportional to the square of the current, so by increasing the voltage and reducing the current, the power loss can be minimized. Additionally, higher voltages allow for the use of thinner and lighter conductors, reducing material costs and making the transmission more efficient.

What is surge impedance in power systems?

Actually surge impedance is present in a transmission line due to the capacitance of transmission line. Now this capacitor attends the reactive power of the transmission line to energise its magnetic flux. now due to the flux the impedance will increase and the power is reactive too. due to the impedance loss is more.
