Why are solar panels not widely used?

My guess is that integrating solar panels into pre-existing energy networks would be difficult and costly. You also have to wonder how many solar panels we would need to replace the electricity we use. I imagine it would take very many solar panels just to keep a corporate building in power. I assume there would also be much protest towards solar panels coming from the electric companies. If we all switched to solar, the electric companies would either go out of of business or be forced to convert.


What is a cheap replenishable source for electric power?

A cheap replenishable source for electric power is solar energy, harnessed through photovoltaic panels. Solar power is abundant, especially in sunny regions, and the cost of solar technology has significantly decreased over the past decade. Additionally, once installed, solar panels have low maintenance costs and can generate electricity for many years, making them an economically viable option for sustainable energy. Other replenishable sources include wind and hydroelectric power, which also offer cost-effective solutions depending on location and resources.


Should solar panel KW capacity equal to the total KW loads?

The total kW load is only a guide to the solar panel capacity. Any energy generated by the solar panel will reduce the energy you draw from the grid, which leads directly to less CO2 output at the power plants. But the power plant is still needed for when there is a cloudy day. When it's cloudy the solar panel output is drastically reduced, although they still produce power, as the salesmen are keen to emphasize, but what they don't tell you is that the power output is reduced by about 95%. Also, in many countries, if your panels generate excess electricity you sell it back to the grid, so the capacity of the panels is not critical.


What are disadvantages for solar engery?

Solar energy has several disadvantages, including its dependence on sunlight, which can be inconsistent due to weather conditions and geographical location. High initial installation costs for solar panels and associated systems can be a barrier for many consumers. Additionally, solar energy systems require significant space for installation, which can be a limitation in densely populated areas. Lastly, the production and disposal of solar panels can raise environmental concerns related to resource use and waste.


What are the energy issues you are facing in the world that would make a solar cooker a viable option for many people?

The energy issues we are facing in the world that would make a solar cooker a viable option for many people include the lack of renewable resources that are available. Wind power and wave power are not as readily available as solar power.

If you had a solar power house how would you power your building?

The solar power can power your house. Solar power energy can be used to power many things, it just depends on how many solar panels you have. Tioga Energy specializes in solar power. They install and facilitate the solar panels but the customer agrees to buy power from the power generated from the solar panels.www.tiogaenergy.com

How many solar panels are in a solar plant?

The number of solar panels in an installation depends on a few factors, mainly the amount of physical space available for the installation and the required output for the panels. Residential and commercial solar grids for houses and businesses often utilize smaller panels and generally take up a smaller amount of space. The number of panels these installations use can range from just a few to a couple hundred. Solar power plants however have a very high expected output and take up a very large amount of land. As such, the number of panels at a solar power plant can be in the thousands. A solar power plant in Spain for instance has over 120,000 solar panels and produces 20 megawatts of power. The largest complete solar power plant currently resides in Ontario and boasts almost 100 megawatts of power and utilizes even more panels.

What is the hypothesis of solar powered airplane?

A solar powered airplane is not an hypothesis. There have been many successful experimental flights. A solar powered plane uses electric motors powered by solar panels (or sometimes batteries charged with solar power). At the present time solar panels are only efficient enough to power very light planes.
