Solar load refers to the amount of thermal energy that a building or structure receives from the sun. It can impact the temperature inside a building and affect the need for cooling or heating systems. Monitoring and managing solar load can help optimize energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
Plant load is a factor in every energy plant. In the case of solar power plants, the plant load factor is at an average of 75%. This means 25% of the time, optimum operation is not utilized. This number has to be compared with start up costs, operating costs and income generated to determine the feasibility of conversion to solar energy.
A static load on a roof could be the weight of the roof itself, as well as any permanently fixed structures such as solar panels, HVAC units, or satellite dishes. These loads do not change or move once installed and exert a constant force on the roof structure.
Trick question - it's not! Solar panels do not store energy but convert the Sun's energy into electricity. This direct current (DC) electricity (energy) is then transferred immediately through wires to a load (something that uses energy). For most residential uses, solar energy must be inverted from DC to AC (alternating current) which is the type of energy most houses use. So, actually, solar energy is not stored in solar panels, but converted into useable energy by solar panels.
A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells are made of semiconductor materials that generate a flow of electricity when exposed to light. Solar panels are used to harness renewable energy from the sun for various applications such as powering homes, businesses, and satellites.
In the context of the load-velocity relationship, the relationship between load and velocity is inverse. This means that as the load increases, the velocity at which the load can be moved decreases, and vice versa.
electricity CURRENT FLOW INTO A LOAD. Without a load that is just voltage sitting there.
Yes, Plant Load Factor (PLF) is related to solar.
A: Nothing will happen if the load increases or even removed the voltage will go to the open voltage condition no harm.
You can go to Solar movies..... but it might take a while to load. :)

Be careful that the roof is strong enough to carry the load. If you add solar panels, the roof struts must now carry both the roof and the solar cells. You will also need to be careful with wiring from the solar cells, so that it doesn’t degrade with exposure and create a fire hazard.

rule of thumb is 400 sq ft a ton but not completely right on. Need to do a solar calculation on the house before determining the correct size. Need to take solar load on windows

Yes, it will, but only a small amount. Solar panels today only harness about 11 percent of the suns power, the other 89 percent heat up the panel even while it is running a load someplace else. On a good sunny day with a temperature of 75 degrees, you panel will heat to 140 to 150 degrees with a load on, and maybe 160 with the load off. As a side note, solar panels are more efficient when it is cold out, as long as you have good sun. Most of the manufacturers require you to upgauge your wiring when you have daytime temps below 40 degrees F, and again below 0 degrees F to accomodate this higher output. On very cold days in the northern tier, you can get as much as 1.5 times the rated power out of a solar panel. Take care, Rudy
because the energy produced from the panels is just not enough to power a house load of energy!!
The desert Indians would make a clay vessel and load it then seal it with clay. It would bake in the sun all day. Now there are solar cookers the use a parabolic dish to concentrate the sun on a cooking rack.
