FAQ

Solar panels are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions through their durable construction materials and protective features. The panels are made with tempered glass that can handle hail, heavy rain, and snow without getting damaged. The frames are typically made of strong aluminum or stainless steel to provide stability and resistance against strong winds. Additionally, advanced solar panels have built-in drainage systems to prevent water accumulation and snow shedding technology to remove snow buildup. These design elements enable solar panels to endure and continue generating electricity even under challenging weather conditions.
Green issues aside, are solar panels worth it, monetarily speaking?I don't mean that my house might be worth more or any of that. All I am asking is this: if I invest in a set of solar panels, will the cost be paid back to me over time? If so, how long will it takegt;Take into account the following:. Currently I pay the electric company around $00 per month2. I use around 400 kilowats of energy per monthI realize that exact numbers are hard to come by, but any opinions are welcome.
With tax incentives, yea it's worth it. It will take years to recoup the costs. You need to live there for a while.
I have a home in Manchester Tn and we have been slowly remodeling the home. It is about 200 sq ft of living space. Our normal electric bill is about 50 a month. We would like to add some solar panels to the home to help reduce the amount of the bill. How many panels do I need and what would be the cost? I am not trying to go completely of the grid but I would like to start somewhere and maybe over the years be able to add. What is your recommendation for a reasonable cost of under 2 to 3 k??
image voltaic panels can set you back as much as $20,000. A windmill that produces sufficient electrical energy for the abode would be approximately $0,000. Neither gets you off the electrical powered grid. image voltaic in basic terms works while the sunlight shines. At night, you will have not have been given any electrical energy. Wind in basic terms works while the wind blows on the merely right velocity. decrease than 5 mph and you get no capability. If the wind blows too speedy on your windmill, it is going to close right down to maintain from being broken. look to insulation, capability valuable doors and abode windows, an capability valuable air conditioner, landscaping that aspects shade.
Yes, solar panels can be affected by temperature. High temperatures can cause a decrease in their efficiency and overall power output. However, some modern solar panels are designed to handle higher temperatures more effectively, minimizing the impact on their performance.
I'm trying to charge rechargeable AA batteries with a solar panel. What guage wire should I use to connect the panel to the batteries? Should I use a diode to keep the batteries from overpowering the circuit? If so, what size? My panel is 4.8V 50mA.
With that size panel, you should be able to recharge either AA battery, or two AA batteries in series. Yes, it would be a good idea to put a blocking diode in series with the panel - anything will do, like a N448. You will want to use NiCd batteries if possible, because they take a trickle charge of 50 mA much better than NiMH (which prefers pulse charging, a more complicated circuit). You can use NiMH if you must. Needless to say, don't try to charge non-rechargable batteries. Also realize that at this charge rate, it will take days, maybe even a week, to charge the batteries, if left out in full sun all day long.
i used 734 killowatts of power last month, any idea on how many solar panels i would need. What im looking for is to somehow hook up my central air to solar panels.
Ideally, you should not be trying to run individual appliances off of a solar panel. What you should be doing is selling the power harvested from these panels back to the power company as a savings from your power bill. Here in southern California I have heard of people actually receiving monthly checks from the power companies.
Can solar panels be connected directly to motor?
If the DC motor, solar panels generated by the power through the controller, and then can be used; for AC motors, solar cells to the power through the controller and inverter (DC into AC), and then can be used.

Your house, and probably your yard wouldn't be big enough to hold them. I did this exercise once (not doing it again) for someone who wanted to replace his 6hp outboard motor with a solar powered one. The calculations ended up that he would need something like .5 acres of solar panels to get that much energy. Not happening. That said, an passive solar home, can get a significant amount of warmth from the sun directly. But it doesn't work very well at night, when it's coldest. (wonder why that is... probably a climate scientist could help us with that? -- oh, wait. They say warming doesn't have anything to do with the sun.) Edit. I didn't use theoretical stuff to come up with my numbers, I used the claims of actual off-the-shelf solar panels sold by West Marine, calculated the power, and did the math based on existing panels.
