Solar Panels Houses

Jesus Said:

Why do liberals say solar is the way to go when it takes a football field of solar panels to power 15 houses?

We Answered:

in CA the liberals stopped the building of a solar farm in the desert.

Jessica Said:

How many of the liberal hippies are rushing to put solar panels on their houses and driving bikes to work?

We Answered:

I don't see it actually happening any time soon..they have been talking about it since the seventies.

Gerald Said:

What course or certificate do I need to install solar panels on houses?

We Answered:

I'm not really sure about a course that you need to install solar panels on houses. i'm doing certificate II in electrotechnology and I know that there is also a certificate IV in electrotechnology where you learn about renewable energy so i searched Google for a TAFE in Perth that offers this sort of course and found this: http://psc.central.tafe.wa.edu.au/Search…

I hope this helps! (I'm actually thinking of installing solar panels when I'm older too)

Kirk Said:

Has solar panels on british houses had a major effect on their electricity bills ?

We Answered:

I looked over the link you provided. I am not from the UK but I have read where they have taxed fuel so much that it is cheaper to go renewable.

As far as the cloudy and rainy weather goes. You have to add wind power to the mix. When there is no sun there is normally wind. So you have to have a little of both. Plus if you are grid tied you can use the grid as a battery backup so to speak.

The same thing will happen here in the USA soon. The cost of fuel will be so high that it will be cheaper to go solar.

Anne Said:

Do solar panels for houses attract lighting?

We Answered:

I haven't heard buzz about this being an insurance concern, so I'd think that if panels attract lightning, the effect would be negligible.

Nevertheless, installers take care to ground the panels and the structures holding them, as required by the National Electrical Code. Also, lightning arrestors are sometimes used, but those are to protect in the event of a strike, not to discourage a strike.

Leon Said:

How come new houses aren't built with solar panels?

We Answered:

Simple it would either have to be forced onto the buyer or the buyer would have to pay for them and Solar panels aren't cheap mind you. And really the person probably doesn't even give a crap about thier Impact on the Environment. It's too bad more celebrites wouldn't realize that charity is key to becoming famous and getting more business. Like someone should start a show Extreme home makeover where all the building is done Green and Eco-friendly.
