Yes Theoretically, the answer is "yes". If there are enough solar panels, and sufficient battery capacity to cover the needs of night hours and cloudy days, a home can be run solely on solar power. For many years now, many magazine articles about solar power have shown remote locations of permanent homes and vacation homes run solely on sunshine. As this concept gained popularity and hobbyists built their own solar energy collectors, it became apparent that the battery storage component of a solar system became the major expense. Local utilities were hounded to allow solar systems, located within their grid areas,to be connected to their grids, for storing surplus electrical energy created by home systems [ to eliminate the need for expensive batteries ]. Initially, they were very much against anyone hooking into their systems, but gradually changed their minds when research, in the 60s and 70s, clearly showed that no damage could be done to their grids and it was truly a win-win situation.
What else can I help you with?
Do cell phones run on solar power?
no. cell phones run on a battery that recharges in a home power outlet. so most likely it runs on fossil fuels.
How much would it cost to run a home on solar panel?
The cost of your solar system is directly related to how many kilowatts your home uses each month. That is what determines how much power you wish to generate.
Can you run a solar central AC unit?
i want to run a two ton ac with solar power
What do solar panels run on?
power from the sun
What runs on solar power?
Many things run on solar power. Most of the Sun Chips factory (a company owned by Frito Lay) is run purely by solar power (hence the name "Sun" chip).
Will the solar power run out?
yes,in 500 years
can you run a pool filter with solar power?
yup!
Is solar power a renewable resource?
Yes solar power is considered to be a renewable resource because the sun rays don't run out.
Do solar power homes save money?
In the long run, they can.
Hybrid Car Fuel?
The difference between and hybrid and a standard car is simple, a hybrid uses two or more distinct power sources (internal combustion engine and an electric motor); non hybrids run solely on internal combustion engines. What makes hybrids stand out is the electrical engine inside. This electrical engine accepts many different power sources such as compressed air, hydrogen, liquid nitrogen , wind power, and solar power. Some models such as the Chevrolet Volt run solely on electricity.
Can I run a 3000 square foot house on one solar power gennerator?
It would be very expensive to run any house on solar power, but an integrated system is required. First you'd have to have the home be extremely efficient to limit the amount of power needed. Then you'd need a lot of solar panels to provide an excess of power and a lot of batteries to store the power for when the sun wasn't available. In other words that is possible, but right now it's really not practicable.
What type of spacecraft operates by a renewable energy source one that will not run out?
Solar-powered spacecraft operate using solar panels to convert sunlight into electrical energy, which can then power the spacecraft's systems. Solar power is a renewable energy source that will not run out as long as the sun continues to shine.
