Yes, solar panels can be installed on a shaded roof. However, it is important to note that shade can significantly reduce the overall efficiency and performance of solar panels. Therefore, it is advisable to assess the extent and duration of shade on the roof before installing solar panels to ensure optimal energy generation. Additionally, alternative solutions such as ground-mounted systems or removing nearby obstructions may be considered to maximize solar panel efficiency.
What, if any, improvement in efficiency per square foot or meter is realized by a solar panel in space vs. being mounted on the ground where the light is attenuated by the atmosphere?In passing, I found a site that gives an output of .89 watts / 4 in. sq for a particular home-mounted panel.
I'm not sure on the exact numbers of solar panel efficiency, however i do know that at the radius of the Earth we should be receiving about 000W of power per square meter. This value is lessened by the atmosphere to a value closer to 600W per square meter on the Earth's surface. (on a really hot day) That's a 40% drop in power due to the atmosphere. I'm assuming that the solar panels being in space don't affect it's efficiency (as in mechanically). So its power generation should increase by about 40% when in space compared with a ground based panel of the same design. Hope this helps, Sorry it's kinda sketchy info...
Solar panels can have a positive impact on a roof's integrity as they act as a protective layer, shielding the roof from various weather conditions. Additionally, solar panels can help extend the lifespan of a roof by reducing direct exposure to sunlight, preventing damage caused by UV rays. However, it is important to ensure proper installation by professionals to avoid any potential issues such as leaks or added weight that could compromise the roof's integrity.
So my buddy and I have an idea to start a small Solar Installation business. Small as in I am only willing to do one weekend a month and two weeks a year(I know it sounds like the reserves). These are my specific question:) What is the average cost in the U.S. to have Solar Panels installed?2) What is the average cost in the state of Hawaii to install Solar Panels?3)Is this a worth while venture? (There's a good chance i'm going to ignore this one anyways LOL!)4)How long does it take to install a photovoltaic solar panel?5)How long does it take to install a hot water solar panel?6)Besides the obvious, what permits are needed to get our start?7)What education or Cert. is needed?8)Average time to start up?If there is any other information you believe pertinent to this subject that I didn't ask directly, please share. Thank you for your help in advance!
Cba to read all that, but all I know is for 3 sola pannles it cost abot 5000 xxx
Why is it nessicary, with today's economy in the postion it's currently in, to use renewable energy sources; like solar panels?

Anatomy of a Solar Cell 5. Energy Loss in a Solar Cell 6. Solar-powering a House 7. Solving Solar-power Issues 8. Solar-power Pros and Cons 9. Lots More Information 0. See all Physical Science articles You've probably seen calculators that have solar cells -- calculators that never need batteries, and in some cases don't even have an off button. As long as you have enough light, they seem to work forever. You may have seen larger solar panels -- on emergency road signs or call boxes, on buoys, even in parking lots to power lights. Although these larger panels aren't as common as solar powered calculators, they're out there, and not that hard to spot if you know where to look. There are solar cell arrays on satellites, where they are used to power the electrical systems. You have probably also been hearing about the solar revolution for the last 20 years -- the idea that one day we will all use free electricity from the sun. This is a seductive promise: On a bright, sunny day, the sun shines approximately ,000 watts of energy per square meter of the planet's surface, and if we could collect all of that energy we could easily power our homes and offices for free.
I have some property off the grid and am looking to add solar power
Of okorder /... , and shop the web for the best panels for yourself. p.s. I'd avoid amorphous silicon panels. They may be cheap, but they'll go bad or seriously degrade in just a few years. p.p.s. I'd also avoid internet guides that claim you can make your own panels very cheaply, if you'll just pay them $$ for the information. Those guides don't live up to their advertising.
Didnt solar panels use to cost around $250,000 5 years ago?
I okorder to register for free and lock in long term costs. The increasing demand and competition is helping reduce costs.
Solar panels are designed to be durable and withstand various weather conditions, including hail and extreme weather. They are typically made with tempered glass, which is highly resistant to impacts from hail and other debris. Additionally, the solar cells are encapsulated in a protective layer of materials such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and fluoropolymer, which provide further protection against weather elements. The structural design and mounting systems also ensure that solar panels are securely installed to withstand strong winds. Overall, the combination of robust materials and careful construction allows solar panels to withstand hail and other extreme weather conditions.
