solar system stuff i need help on!! :)?

We Answered:

1. Its mass. its mass increases as hydrogen particles react in the core.

2. Black Holes, dead stars colliding.
3. Their place in the universe and its place near its orbiting star.
4.Sunspots are the cooler areas in the sun so the sun is large , more spots
5. 3 problems by solar magnetic storms : Gamma rays, Distortion of the earth magnetic field, UV rays.
6.The time of the solar flares, solar wind or solar magnetic stroms.
7.Plasma
8.To replace Fossil fuels in earth by nuclear power.
9. Because the suns rays dont distort the observations made.
10. Its mass will increase dramitically, and it will burn out in the path of the earth , burning it out and making it incapable of life.

what size (how many watts) solar system do I need if I use 800kwh a month?

We Answered:

Are you on the grid or off the grid?

Do you have a storage system?

Even though you use 800 Kilowatt hours of electricity per month, you have peak times of use when you are running appliances and other times when you use relatively little electricity.

Also your location will have a large influence on the amount of electricity that you get out of your system. You may get much less electricity than your system is theoretically capable of producing.

The most common system installed on a residence is rated at a maximum production of 3,000 watts. However the system will only achieve that at noon on the equator on a clear day. The system will not produce anywhere near that in your location.

Even this system would produce less than half the amount of electricity that you use.

You should also have some extra capacity in your system. I recommend that you get a system with a minimum rating of 9,000 watts, and a good set of storage batteries to store the extra energy.

Good luck with your project.
