Why do different light sources affect the voltage output of a PV panel?

Posted by admin on May 7, 2011 at 8:09 pm

When they all have the same luminance? 300 W Halogen 60 W Incandescent 13 W CFl 9 W LED Probably because they have a different spectrum of light output. Solar cells are fairly specific in the wavelengths of light they work most effeciently at. . addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fphotovoltiacsolarpanels.com%2Fpv-panels%2Fwhy-do-different-light-sources-affect-the-voltage-output-of-a-pv-panel’; addthis_title = ‘Why+do+different+light+sources+affect+the+voltage+output+of+a+PV+panel%3F’; addthis_pub = ”;

Also I am told that they are more toxic than coal for the energy produced due to the materials used in production and the mining to manufacture them. He also told me that it would take an area of 100 X 100 miles to produce all of USA’s electric needs. Ten thousand square miles of [...]

How Big would Power Plants need to be if homeowners owned Solar PV Connected to the Grid w/Net Metering?

Posted by admin on April 5, 2011 at 5:51 am

Net metering is when you have PV Panels on your roof, when you’re at work excess powers is sold to the power company, at night you use those credits. Some say the power company is "the battery" People use much less power at night. Your system is designed so you owe now money at the [...]

Do solar energy panels for your home make sense?

Posted by admin on April 3, 2011 at 4:24 am

I have heard solar PV panels cost $ 75,000.00 to save about $ 2,200.00 per year and only last 20 to 24 years and need replacement. To finance that cost $ 123,000.00 over 24 years at 4.6 intrest.This sounds like a financial disaster. Any thoughts… If I spend 75k on panels I will save a [...]

Posted by admin on April 1, 2011 at 4:50 am

I want to start looking into using solar panels at my home. For a small scale test to get started and learn more about it I wanted to set up a system of about 500 watts a day to run a lamp or two and maybe a radio or a cell phone charger. What would [...]

PV Solar – for home hydrogen production ?

Posted by admin on March 30, 2011 at 6:53 am

If water can be split and hydrogen kept underwater for house cooking needs – using just a basic array of PV panels. Then why isn’t everyone doing this when gas prices are soaring ? The Large companies ARE doing this – so why not the individuals ? This is a link to Wind Turbine to [...]

Would having a Solar PV, Solar Hot Water & Heat or Small Wind Turbine, SUCK or be GOOD?

Posted by admin on March 28, 2011 at 3:03 am

Do you think you can’t afford this? Ever look at youtube videos about Solar Photovoltaic Electricity and how easy it is to get it installed. Have you gotten any local estimates? Small wind turbines on roofs. Just another simple, maintenance free appliance, live a TV roof satellite TV dish, but Solar are panels on your [...]
