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

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 to solar panels if there was no sun out?

Solar panels would not generate electricity if there is no sunlight available. They rely on sunlight to produce electricity through the photovoltaic effect. In the absence of sunlight, the panels would not be able to convert solar energy into electrical energy.


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.


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


Does a solar powered heater work on the dark side of the moon?

No, a solar powered heater would not work on the dark side of the moon as it relies on sunlight to generate power. The lack of sunlight on the dark side of the moon would prevent the solar panels from generating electricity to power the heater.

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..


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.


How would a barometer reading change if you went to a higher altitude?

As you go to a higher altitude, the barometer reading would decrease because atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. This is due to the lower density of air molecules at higher altitudes.


Denver and Kansas City are at the same latitude but Denver's altitude is much higher Denver would be expected to have?

Denver would be expected to have cooler temperatures compared to Kansas City due to its higher altitude. This is because the higher altitude leads to lower atmospheric pressure and thinner air, which results in cooler temperatures.


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.


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.
