Solar panel question?

I have this question for extracredit and I dont get it?How many 2V,2W PV panels would be required to supply a load that requires a 48-volt supply that can push at least 2.8 amps of current, if you assume each panel puts out A at 2 V? And how are the panels configured to supply the power requirements of the load?

Answer:

i agree with Liz but have a diffrent point i think u have not calculated for the roof mounted solar panels i am giving youy a bsic understanding hope that will help you Roof Mounted solar power systems consist of solar panels held in place by racks or frames which are attached to roof based mounting supports. Roof based mounting supports include: Pole mounts which are attached directly to the roof structure and may use additional rails for attaching the panel racking or frames. Ballasted footing mounts such as concrete or steel bases that use weight to secure the panel system in position and do not require through penetration. This mounting method allows for decommisison or relocation of solar panel systems with no impact on the roof structure.
4 in series for the 48V, a rack of 3 sets wired in parallel to give the current. (total of 2 panels)
