anim8er2 asked:


I have seen two types of solar panels made. Photo voltaic and water heating. Has anyone combined the two? Silicon cells are not 100% efficient, so why not capture the leftover heat as well? It may take a little engineering to do, but it should be pretty simple. That way, more of the sun’s energy could be captured for a given surface area.

Properties of solar panel?
I know this is too general,but i am to write a report on the materials used to make solar panels,and i am to include the physical, mechanical ,and chemical properties of the materials.
It’s just too general,such that i am lost.There are so many types of solar panels.So i hope some experts on this subject can give me a general guide lines ,maybe the tensile strength ?
as much as you can please.
I search throughout wikipedia and ould not get what i want,EXPERTS!come on!

EndlessMountain asked:


I was hearing that we need silver as a medal for the creation of solar panels, is this true? How much silver would be needed to make one solar panel? (if this is true)

J P asked:


Senior Project - We’re trying to build a solar powered go kart. We have two 40Watt panels that are 15V each, and 5 Amps each. We are going to use two 12V batteries to run the motor. We want to charge these batteries using the panels, however we don’t know what type of charger we need. Where can we find a charger that is DC in and out? Any info will help :-) Thanks in advance!
Is it better to get an altenator?

lovesmcdsicecoffee asked:


We recently received a quote from a FAFCO dealer for FIVE 12′ x 4′ solar panels for our 12′ x 25′ pool. I thought it was a bit much. Do we really need that many?

Guest Author: Ryan Kaufman


In rural areas, particularly in places where utility power is not available, solar panels are the answer. Irrespective of where electrical power is needed, be it for a mountain top cabin, a cruising sailboat or a family home, there is a solar system to fill the needs. We will delve into the details on how do solar panels work.

Solar panels harvest the sun’s energy to produce electricity to power lights and appliances or for any use that requires electrical power.

Ulquorria Schiffer asked:


If you were to be asked to write a material(s) report on either
-solar panels
or
-aircraft fuselage
Which would you choose?

well i was asked to choose between these two,so i guess that if i choose what the majority wouldn’t, i might just score a little bit higher,what do you think?if you are the lecturer you would want something different right?
