so much on the internet. solar panels use sunlight to either heat water and/or generate electricity. the electricity will fuel home consumption and often produce enough extra to sell to the power company.

heated water is circulated to your home for use in showers, etc. benefits are obviously reduced use of gas to heat water and electricity used in your home plus some revenues from sale of excess electricity. many people are turned off by the high up-front investment but this pays off in the long term, and there are often rebates from municipalities and the power company for approved and properly installed equipment

1.

small solar power question?

I noticed yo uwanted to charge the cell phone between 11 pm and 9 am that wont be possible with your SOLAR cell because that works only during day ...you will only be able to charge the spare battery if you have one there will only be enough light for some of the day too... sounds like you will do fine...

2.

How many solar panels are in a 2KW system?

2kw.......2000WATT, if you use one watt in 3inches square ,....multiple....ok

3. How energy efficient are solar panels?

Is it worth getting one as the outlay is extreme and will take 25 years to pay back?

While solar panels have increased greatly in efficiency over the last 10 -12 years, the industry is still a very long way from producing a highly efficient and cost efficient product.There is also the issue of differences from location to location is the amount of high quality sun light to "fuel" the panels. There is also the issue of the added costs and mainanence of batteries, etc or the need to remain "on the grid" at night and on days when daylight is insufficient to fully "fuel" the panels.

Is it worth paying for and installing solar arrays? For a few people, the answer is yes. For the majority of others, the answer is no

4.

will the next solar max be dangerous? ?

Many forecasters believe Solar Cycle 24 will be big and intense.

Peaking in 2011 or 2012, the cycle to come could have significant impacts on telecommunications, air traffic, power grids and GPS systems. (And do not forget the Northern Lights!) In this age of satellites and cell phones, the next solar cycle could make itself felt as never before.

The furious storms wo not start right away, however. Solar cycles usually take a few years to build to a frenzy and Cycle 24 will be no exception. "We still have some quiet times ahead," says Hathaway.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on a promising little active region. Will it become the first sunspot of a new solar cycle?

5.

If solar prices will be dropping in the future, doesn't it make sense to not subsidize solar now?

Simple reasons, the price comes down with mass production and you get more research for a growing market

6. Was King Solomon just another solar myth?

Probably not. His name was Schlomo

7. Will an EMP damage a typical residential solar power system including the solar panels and the controllers?

Possibly. However the EMP you are probably thinking of is entirely fictional. Comic books and hollywood have gotten rather overexcited about the concept of a weapon that renders all electronic devices inoperable while at the same time doing little or any other damage.

IRL an EMP is accompanied by a nuclear explosion and you tend not to be that concerned about your electronic devices as you lie dead or dying a horrible death.

8. AC or DC generator for solar system?

u ought to apply it with out batteries yet u will choose batteries if u prefer to save electricity for whilst there's no sunlight or in case of a potential failure..

grid linked PV platforms would possibly no longer particularly require batteries, so as that way it is going to become greater low-fee.. so yeah i assume u ought to do away with batteries. if u do choose a battery(for potential cuts or nighttime time) i assume u ought to get one in each of those united statesbatteries (120V in line with threat) ,the greater moderen batteries dont certainly choose that plenty maintenance..

with admire to a wind generator, i am no longer particularly specific, so i am unlikely to purpose and answer that one
