PV Gap

Edith Said:

Need help with building a project involving solar panels?

We Answered:

Solar panels are designed to be used to recharge a battery or series of batteries, not for direct power. That is the inherent weakness of solar systems.

The only way to have it work in low light conditions if to have several cells wired in series and have a voltage regulator to limit the amount of voltage that can be supplied. Other than that, add a battery and a charging circuit that the cell would supply power to.

Pamela Said:

does anyone know about some college classes that will teach you about building solar panels or hybrid cars?

We Answered:

An electrical engineering degree would get you about 95% of the way there for solar. Some of the details would require independent research on your part, though there MAY be some specialized classes. To be honest, solar cells really aren't THAT complex once they're made. To over-simplify, it's basically a very very fragile battery requiring tedious work to assemble into special weatherproof panels. Or you buy the pre-made panels at considerable expense.

Wind turbines would be electrical, aeronautical and mechanical engineers.

As far as Hybrid cars, that's a project for multiple engineers of many disciplines. Mechanical engineers would be the prevalent occupation here as most of the car is...mechanical.

Houses would be civil engineering for the structural stuff, environmental and electrical for things like solar, geothermal, etc.

I see a lot of these questions, but really when it comes to a lot of the things that people want to work on, it's almost always a multidisciplinary team.

Marilyn Said:

what is that building that has solar panels all over it and generate its own power?

We Answered:

there are many of these, can you help us by noting the location?

hey frnds
pls pls pls pls
keep asking quations abt the environment
we've to save it
so pls pls pls keep doin' ths kind work
