A single photovoltaic cell typically develops a small voltage ... like 1/2 volt ... in full
sunlight, and delivers between 1 milliampere and 2 amperes of short-circuit current
depending on its area.
For more voltage, several cells are connected in series. For more current, several
cells are connected in parallel.
The solar array that powers the International Space Station is capable of 140 kilowatts.

What can solar panels do?
Solar panels receive energy from the Sun and use it to produce electricity. They are much cheaper to maintain than oil-powered electricity generators and oil storage tanks. Solar panels are also friendlier to the environment because they let off less pollution to the atmosphere compared to the smelly emissions which come from oil tanks.
How much power can solar panels hold when there's no sunlight?
Solar panels do not hold any power when there is no sunlight, as they require sunlight to generate electricity. However, some solar panel systems may have battery storage to store excess electricity generated during the day for use at night or on cloudy days.
Do solar panels need heat or light?
Solar panels need light to generate electricity. While some heat can be beneficial for their performance, too much heat can decrease efficiency. The primary factor for generating electricity is the conversion of light energy, not heat energy.
What are Solar panels?
Solar panels area group of 36 solar cells arranged on a board to produce a level of usable power. Each cell produces just under 1 vdc. Ganging these up into a set of 36 allows the system to produce around 12 to 15 vdc. This allows the charging of a car battery.They do allow for power in very remote applications and are great for campers and areas were power is not always available. They are much "greener" then portable generators.a solar pannel is a thing that you can put on top of a house or a lamp post that collects sunlight and charges up a battery which can power tvs, friges, freezers and more
How do you convert solar energy to mechanical energy?
Several ways, either photoelectric cells to generate electricity to power an electric motor, or alternately a solar collector to boil water and produce steam power. Sunlight is pretty much raw energy so there are no doubt many other possible methods but these are the ones that spring to mind. You could no doubt also exploit the differential between light and shade, but that seems unnecessarily complex... +++ I think you'll find conversion to electricity and electric motors would be the more efficient, but solar-heated steam-power's an interesting alternative. The light-shade difference means only an output-voltage difference, not very useful.
How do solar panels help us reduce the amount of fossil fuels we use?
Solar panels produce electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and therefore we don't need to use fossil fuels as much?
How much electricity can be produced by a system of solar panels in a day?
that depends on how much sunlight there is. But alot of electricity.

How you can produce electricity in home in low cost?
You can get solar panels and wind turbines. They're pretty much free to run, but it will cost to buy and install them.
What do solar panels replace?
coal, oil, and gas for electricity and transportation. Solar power and panels replace all fossil fuels and are much better for the earth.
How many solar panels are needed to use solar energy?
it depends on how much electricity the device your using needs
How expensive are solar panels for a home?
Solar panels range from 200 dollars to thousands. It depends on how much energy you want to generate and how big the solar panels are. Bigger panels make more energy, and they cost a lot more. But once you buy it, you won't have to pay for electricity bills.
How much electricity does one acre of solar panels generate in one year?
About 21 Kw a year.
How much electricity will a 75watt solar panel produce?
500 volts!!
How much does installing solar panels save in electricity costs in an average year?
There are a variety of factors that determine the energy savings by installing solar panels. You can figure a 2 to 1 ration in savings.
Do solar panels make noise and polution?
Solar panels make very much noise when the sun is shining brightly on them and the photo-voltaic cells in the panels give off a form of carbon methane that causes air pollution. The transmitters that convert the sun's energy into electricity also give off harmful gases such as carbon methane and carbon monoxide.
Is solar energy widely accepted?
Not as Much as Wind, Because Solar Panels Cost More Than Wind Turbines , If the Two Create The Same Amount Of Energy The Solar Would Have Costed More to produce the Panels.
