How can I make or buy a solar powered grounded outdoor electrical outlet?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 3 Comments

I would like to have a few outdoor outlets that can power some of my outdoor tools and a fountain. Can I do this with one of those small solar modules? Or does this already exist? I’ve seen small solar panels along the highway that power the emergency phones. Would something like this work? Unfortunately, [...]

Solar panel and motor: Any way to regulate the power transmission?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 1 Comment

I’m an engineering student and for an individual hobby-like project i purchased a small solar panel and a small solar motor. I am planning on making a small solar powered toy car. The question i have is: is there a way to connect a control or some other ways of regulating the power that is [...]

What are Amp-Hours in relation to Solar Power Batteries?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 2 Comments

1.Say you have 12 volt 60 amp-hour battery, and you have an appliance that uses 1000 watts to run it. How do you calculate how long you can run the appliance with this battery? 2. If you connect two 60 amp-hour batteries do you have 120 amp-hours? I’m new to solar energy and want to [...]

How can electrons keep being generated by solar panels?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 3 Comments

I was trying to figure out how solar panels work today and I found that electrons get displaced in 2 layers of a solar panel by photons coming from the sun to create power. If the electrons come from the solar panel and go into the electrical grid, how are they replaced in the solar [...]

Why dont electricity companies use our roof (solar) to generate electrcity to contribute to the national grid?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 6 Comments

I live in NZ where nuclear electricity generation is not an option and where solutions have to be found that are sustainable. Most of our electricity is generated by hydro-electric dams but as we move towards needing more electricity (it seems minimising use is in the too-hard basket) we are being asked to consider "solutions" [...]

If I use a 3000 watt inverter, and a 800 cranking amps battery,what size solar pv would be required for charg?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 1 Comment

what is the required size in watts solar PV I would want It depends on a lot of factors. What is your actual average load? probably not 3000 watts. You will need this number. Let’s assume 1000 watts. How many hours of sun a day do you get, average, in summer and winter? How many [...]

how does a solar& electric water heater work thats made like this?

its got wires twisted onto a bottle and the ends are connected to a beattery-electric water heater. so it might go like this. the wires coonduct heat from the battery sending it back to the bottol and thus makeing heat??? solar- its has a bottle twisted with wires around and connected to a solar panel. [...]

how do I clean my photovoltaic (solar) panels?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 2 Comments

I have flat solar panels (like this http://www.sanyo.com/industrial/solar/index.cfm?productID=1232) mounted on my roof. Even after hosing them down, they still have a fine coating of pollen, etc. I really don’t want to get onto the roof to clean them, so is there anything out there that will help me get them clean from the ground? Or [...]

What is best voltage for solar system array – residential 220v?

By admin on Thursday, December 31st, 2009 | 3 Comments

my house is 220 volts. Since 12 volt solar panels and 12 volt batterys are so available, for some reason I decided to group 4 panels into 48 volts and 4 batteries into a 48 volt battery and store the energy and when needed convert 48 volts to 220 volts and use it. Am I [...]
