We are thinking about useing solar panels for our house.Does anyone know about solar panels? If so could you please tell me some information on them,and the cost for a home,to install them.
It depends on what you want to do with the solar panels, Heat your water , heat a pool or spa, or to make electricity to use instead of that supplied by the power company. The first three are fairly easy and straight forward. Depending on the amount of water that needs to be heated, the location you live at in relation to the equator and the location of the solar panels and piping . The panels for this applicatin are 00s of feet of piping that absorbs heat from the sun and circlate it. The panels them selves are sort of inert and can be very heavy when filled with water.. Makeing usable power to replace the power company is a real problem because among other things solar cells create DC voltage. A house runs on AC voltage. So all of the items to heat water still apply, location, placement, etc. But now we have to figure hrs of sunlight the output of the cells running the power to a transformer to transform the voltage from 2 volts DC to 20 volts DC and then running the power thru a converter to change it from DC to AC at each point ( transformer converter ) there is a loss of power do to a change in current. After all of the above if a cloud comes by your power will stop, and at night you will have no power. The fix for that is storage cells AKA batteries which store the power until you need it, like night time. The glamor of a all solar powered home is great,, but it isn't practical. So What to do, You eliminate the battery storage, and also hooking up the power to your home. You feed it right into the power companys wiring and guess what? The electric meter on you house runs back wards your send more power to them during off peak times that your using. For every dollar the meter runs backward you get a free dollars worth when you need it. This is a way of storing the power as credit with the power company instead of batteries Its a lot to understand and I hope I helped
If solar power is not practical, why do four of my friends and I have it? Actually Don M is mostly right. The factors to consider when contemplating a solar installation are numerous. For example my system will not pay for itself in utility savings in my lifetime, but I plan to sell the house soon. What I am saving on electricity costs, and the increased amount I can ask a buyer, I will come out well ahead. Cruise the Internet and look in the green search box at the top of this page, for solar panels. As you learn more, you can come back with more questions.
big subject for this forum so you would be better asking specific questions how about an air source heat pump instead in the loft or outside, works all year round, no messing with the roof, price varies of course depending on what you want but 30 - 50% of the cost of solar see trianco website
solar panels are device that convert sun energy into electric energy by physic and chemical effect.solar panels price is high,but you will save your late electricity bill,it is cost effictive.
