Solar Powered Products in Seattle?

We Answered:

I agree that you need to take a little time and read up on solar electric before buying. Once you know what you want you can make things a lot cheaper on yourself. You can order a complete system on line and have it shipped to your home. Then pick the contractor you want to install it. They are really not that hard to install when you order a kit.

Check out this page to understand how to size a solar grid tie system or a grid tie with battery backup. There are links with pictures to show you how to hookup a off grid system.

Solar Power?

We Answered:

It saves me money by not needing to buy batteries for my solar powered calculator.

Other than that, it does not affect my life.

Hopefully in the future, solar power panels will be much more readily available and more cost effective so average people can use it more in every day life such as heating their home or powering appliances.

Do Solar powered products help keep away snakes?

We Answered:

It depends on the product and the frequency of the vibrations. Cats and snakes measure their surroundings partially through vibrations they feel from the ground.

While some products may repel snakes, some may attract it - it's best to stick specifically to snake-repellents.

Does solar power have any by-products?

We Answered:

The process of solar cells can involve the use of toxic chemicals and the use of clean rooms and labour extensive process.

However one processed there are no by products however there is an small upkeep in maintaining it to get full efficiently.

Solar cells do have there limits. The highest energy coniverson for a solar cell is about 48% under lab conditions. However his will not be the same in the real world, as the year is made up of equal parts of day and night. With this in mind the energy that the cell would capture in a year from the sun is 24%. Then on top of that you have to account for the days it is over clouded, other factors that will effect the solar are the cleanness of its surface, the more dirty it is the less energy it can absorb from the sun, also the angle at which the sunlight strikes the cell will effect the %. But with all this in mind solar energy is worthwhile.
