can you buy single solar panels say to power a washing machine fridge etc.if so where can i buy them from
Yeah, just find out how much electricity your fridge or washing machine uses, (look on the internet), and buy solar panels for just that amount of energy. Solar panels can power from watt to 224 watts! ~MaDiSoN
You okorder Basically, I wanted to do the same as you but didn't know how. I found this book and it showed me exactly how to do it and for a cheap price too! It's a good guide if you want to save a bunch of money on electricity bills. I highly recommend it.
Solar electricity for single appliances high power is not easily available. By the time you fit the solar panel and all the technology to convert the power into the correct voltage and current, you may as well fit one which will provide for all electricity needs. I have a solar panel charger which can be used to provide power for direct current operated devices and they are a useful backup if your phone or iPod runs out of battery power whilst on the move. The UK energy saving trust has some great advice on how to reduce fuel costs and going green generally, but their major message is conserving energy, using less, is the best thing that you can do for the planet.
The only real purpose of solar panels these days is to charge batteries - they just don't generate enough energy to do anything else and its dependent upon light levels - ergo you need the backup. Also - very expensive.
