I'm looking into buying solar panels, there are all kinds of ranges of energy output...but my question is, when ti says...say 50 watts of power...does that mean 50 watts a day, an hour, a minute, what?
A 50-watt rating means the panel will produce 50 watts as long as the standard conditions are maintained. So if you had this bright sun and cool temperatures for 6 hours, the panel would deliver 50 x 6 = 900 watt hours, or a little shy of kilowatt-hour. Kilowatt-hours (kWh) is the reading on your electric bill. However, like most advertising, the 50-watt number is not realistic. They assume that the air surrounding the panel is very cold. 25 watts is a better number to use for this size of panel for engineering purposes.
Is there such a thing as portable solar panels? Can these be obtained for say a mobile homes / caravans etc.
Yes there are lots available in many different types for instance take a look at www.okorder
Why are they placed there? How come they aren't placed on the floor or window.My fiance and I are interested in putting solar panels on our new home. I was really curious and google wasn't giving me the answer. My roof is pretty small in our new house and I don't think it would fit there. Why is it usually placed there and is there another place? You will be chosen as best answer if you answer all my questions. Thanks in advance, and I would appreciate if nobody is rude. Otherwise, I will have to report abuse.
In most cases the roof gets the most exposure to the sun. However Panels can be mounted in the yard on platforms that follows the Sun's movement. One must take into consideration of where the panels will get the most exposure to the sun.
I am planning to run a couple of dc motors on solar current. I have a couple of 450mA 4V, 200mA .5V, 00mA 9V solar panels with me. I need to run a pair of .5A 9V motors. Suggest me a circuit along with other equipments I might require. For your info, I am trying to build a solar powered drone / UAV
I don't think it is enough solar power. Your motor requires .5A x 9V = 3.5 watts. The solar cells are .450A x 4V x 2ea. = 3.6 watts, .2A x .5V = .3 watts, .A x 9V = .9 watts total solar = 4.8 watts. The problem with connecting the cells in series to get the right voltage, like the two 4V cells in series with the .5 volt cell (total 9.5 volts) is that the .5 volt cell limits the maximum current to only 0.2A. If you paralleled that with the 9V cell, you would get 9 volts at 0.2 + 0. = 0.3A, too low to operate the motor at its design current and voltage. The best you could do is put the two 4V cells in series, and in parallel with the 9V cell (a blocking diode might be a good idea, but probably not required for such a small array). That way you get 8 volts at 0.55 amps.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on educational institutions. In fact, many schools and universities are increasingly adopting solar power systems to reduce their carbon footprint, lower energy costs, and provide educational opportunities for students to learn about renewable energy sources. Installing solar panels on educational institutions can help promote sustainability and inspire a greener future among students and the wider community.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on theme parks or entertainment venues. In fact, many theme parks and entertainment venues around the world have already embraced solar energy as a sustainable and cost-effective solution. By installing solar panels, these venues can generate their own clean energy, reduce their carbon footprint, and save on energy costs in the long run.
Solar panels can potentially have a positive impact on home insurance premiums. While the initial installation cost of solar panels may increase the value of a home, they can also lower the risk of fire damage and reduce reliance on the grid. As a result, some insurance companies offer discounts or special policies for homes with solar panels, which may lead to lower insurance premiums in the long run. However, it is important to consult with individual insurance providers as policies can vary.
i see these things all over the internet on how to make 'home made solar panels' but all of them require you to buy the solar cells and nothing tells you how to make your own. So how can you make your own solar cells?
I don't have an idea but would surely refer you to a website where you would surely find information on solar cells and many more alternative energy questions.
