sunlight and photovoltaic panels (solar cells/panels)

also electronic power inverters to change the DC from the panels into AC to send to the power grid.

What fuel type of land other resources are needed to run the power station?

The fuel type needed to run a power station can vary, but common types include coal, natural gas, nuclear fuel, and renewable sources like wind or solar. Other resources needed may include water for cooling systems, land for the power station itself, and occasionally additional materials for maintenance and infrastructure.


What energy source does the ISS run on?

The primary power source is solar power from the large arrays connected to the station. There are also two backup generators and smaller fuel cells for various experiments.


Does alternative energy like solar power cost less than normal power?

Yes it does. First it costs you $money to put it in but after that all the money is your gain for if you make extra solar power through your panels then it will go back to the power station and they will pay you. another way is if you use batteries you don't have to buy power from the main power station and in the long run you are helping the environment. All for the better!

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).

What do you need to run a household on solar and wind power?

Sunshine and wind. Hardware you will need solar panels and a wind turbine and batteries. a calculation of your power requirements will let you know how many solar cells and how large a wind turbine will be needed to run your house off the grid. costs are substantial. at least $45k for all required items.


Will the solar power run out?

yes,in 500 years


can you run a pool filter with solar power?

yup!


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.


How does solar energy make an object move?

Solar energy can be harnessed to produce electricity that can power motors or engines, which in turn can make an object move. This can be achieved by using solar panels to convert sunlight into electricity, which can then be used to run the equipment needed to move an object.
