Can you power a solar panel using a torch or an electrical lamp?

A torch or an electrical lamp will not provide enough light intensity to power a solar panel efficiently. Solar panels need strong sunlight to generate a significant amount of electricity, so using artificial light sources like torches or lamps may not produce enough energy. It's best to place solar panels in direct sunlight for optimal performance.


What energy is being converted when solar panels give energy to a light bulb?

Solar panels produce electrical energy when sunlight falls directly on them. The power of sunlight is about 1400 watts in every square metre and a solar panel converts some of that into volts and amps. Solar panels need direct sunlight falling face-on to produce a significant amount of electrical power. They also produce a very small amount of power when turned towards a bright sky without direct sunlight, and an even smaller amount on a cloudy day.


What equipment is needed to obtain the solar energy?

To obtain solar energy, you will need solar panels, mounts to secure the panels, an inverter to convert the DC energy produced by the panels into usable AC electricity, charge controllers to regulate the energy flow, batteries for energy storage, and connecting wires.


How are solar panels useful?

Solar panels produce electricity from the sun's rays without any harmful carbon emissions which are causing global warming. This should be reason enough. The more solar panels there are the less need there is for burning of fossil fuels.


Do you need a license to install solar panels?

Yes, whoever installs solar panels or solar geysers, must be a fully qualified plumber as well as have been registered with the relevant national plumbing authority and solar panel organisation.

What are the panels the space probes wear called?

The panels on a space probe are called solar panels. Solar panels are panels that turn light into energy so astronauts and cosmonauts do not need to change the batteries. Not only do space probes have solar panels, some cars, houses, and all sorts of electronics can use solar panel. Solar panels do not pollute. This is why they use solar panels.


Where do you get solar from?

If you mean solar power services and products - ones that will help you build a solar system, a solar photovoltaic one that will generate electricity from sun light - you need to search for solar installers and or vendors of solar panels, solar inverters, and racking for solar panels - google for them


Why do you need solar panels?

you dont necessarily need solar panels, but they are good for the envioronment, much easier and way cheaper.

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.


Can I light my house with solar panels?

Yes, you can, but it's not a very cheap undertaking. Solar panels are still fairly expensive, and you need tree-free roof top areas for most effective charging. However, Ebay is a good place to start looking for low-cost solar panels.


What two items that are solar powered?

well if u have solar panels that means that your houses electricity is then solar powered (or generated) a lizard as the need the sun to get there energy glow in the dark things can be solar powered as the need the suns light to the glow


Where are solar panels installed?

For Home, on the top of the house .because the solar panels need direct exposure to sun.so the panels are installed where there will be direct sun exposure


Do solar panels need replacing?

Do solar panels last more than 50 years?

Depends on the quality and how you treat solar panels. Generally, solar panels normally last from 20-30 years treated well enough, but for 50 years, you need to get a REALLY good quality solar panels. Average solar panels, last for about 20 years. Good panels can last for 50 years, but that is hard.
