FAQ

I know what they do and how they work, but at this point they're expensive, don't always produce enough electricity as needed, and can't be used when there's no sun, as in half the day. Wouldn't wind power seem so more efficient? Or if they do use solar panels, how about putting them in the desert. But I really believe that research money should go to fusion generators since that's the future and the answer to our problems. Which is best in your opinion?

They're more efficient than nothing, or fusion for that matter since fusion hasn't gone anywhere in the last 30 years. Since most energy is used during the day time when its light out solar panels will do pretty well. In most habbital places on the planet its light out for a good part of the day while wind doesn't blow steadily in most places.

Online stores selling solar photo-voltaic generation kits gives specs indicating the power generation capability of the system. For example, Solar World Grid-Tie Solar Electric System with 245W Panels PV Powered PVP2000 Inverter, .2 to 2.4 kW. This seems to indicate that the system can generate .2 to 2.4 kW. Is that per day? Per month? I'm trying to calculate the return on investment, but can't because I don't know how much power a system such as this will generate in a month.

That would have to be in that instant of time or they would say kilo watt hours or KWH for short. But being the sun doesn't shine at the same intensity over any given hour you couldn't say a solar panel rated at 2.4KW would produce 2.4KWH of electric in a given hour. The power produced would have to vary as clouds passed over head. The power would also be reduced on days of heavy overcast or rain/ snow.

Yes, solar panels can be used in areas with high levels of air pollution. Although air pollution can reduce the efficiency of solar panels by blocking sunlight, advancements in technology have made solar panels more resilient to such conditions. Moreover, regular cleaning and maintenance can help mitigate the impact of air pollution on solar panels.

OK, so if you put solar panels up on a roof, they are busy turning the sun's energy into electricity. So, does that mean the roof (and therefore the house/structure) stays cooler as well? Or does it still get hot, because . . . I dunno, maybe the panels don't convert all the energy, and the spillover still heats up the building.Any links or URLs to scientific answers would be appreciated, but I don't mind hearing from the Average Joe or (Joelle).

it would depend on the type of paneling. And compared to what. Since it absorbs solar energy, that includes some heat. Compared to white paint, which may reflect more of the heat, it depends.

What direction do solar panels usually point? North? East? South? West?

The general answer is toward the equator, so south when the array is north of the Tropic of Cancer, and north when south of the Tropic of Capricorn. In the equatorial zone, one would often still point towards the equator, but other factors such as wanting the panels to efficiently drain rain and dew come into play. But wait, not so fast. Financial considerations dominate in some areas. When afternoon electricity costs more than morning electricity, it may pay to have panels oriented southwest in the northern hemisphere. Where electricity costs the same all day long, it may pay to orient the panels southeast, to harvest more in the morning, when temperatures are cooler, and the panels are more efficient. For solar hot water, SW is usually optimal in the northern hemisphere, because of higher ambient temperatures, and also the usage pattern of most people using the hot water when they get home in the evening. A local installer that has been around for several years will know what orientation is optimal for your area.

So, assuming that a solar panel is flush with the ground (i.e. only the photovoltaic side is visible, the other sides are covered by dirt,) what would happen if it was run over by a car? How about an SUV? Would it break?Would the solar panel still generate electricity?

Cars and SUVs weigh anywhere from a couple of thousand pounds up to ten thousand pounds. Solar panels are typically not designed to take that sort of weight. So the short answer is that it would crush the solar panel, and certainly damage the photoelectric cells inside it. - Stuart

Installing solar panels can provide several financial benefits. Firstly, solar panels allow homeowners to generate their own electricity, reducing their reliance on the grid and potentially lowering their monthly utility bills. Additionally, excess energy produced by solar panels can be sold back to the grid, resulting in potential income through net metering or feed-in tariffs. Moreover, investing in solar panels can increase the value of a property, making it more attractive to potential buyers and potentially leading to higher resale prices. Finally, solar panels can also qualify for various tax incentives, grants, or rebates, further reducing the initial installation costs and providing additional financial savings.
