How is energy from solar panels converted to energy that can be used for solar power?

I want to do a science project where I create my own solar panels out of different materials to see which one will produce the greatest amount of energy. Is this a realistic topic if it has to be done before Thanksgiving? If so, how do I make the solar panels? How do I measure/convert the energy? Please help!

How can I power a couple small appliances using solar power?

What would I need to power a small fan, some LED lights, etc in my home, without spending hundreds or thousands of dollars? How would I set it up? I think I would need a Solar Panel, a AC/DC converter or some kind, and a Battery?

Any Help! Thanks!

How can electrons keep being generated by solar panels?

I was trying to figure out how solar panels work today and I found that electrons get displaced in 2 layers of a solar panel by photons coming from the sun to create power. If the electrons come from the solar panel and go into the electrical grid, how are they replaced in the solar panel? Wouldn’t the solar panel eventually lose all of its electrons and stop working? Electrons have mass, so wouldn’t the solar panel slowly deteriorate?

I think solar energy is awesome and I really want to know how it works. Any help in enlightening me on this subject would great, thanks!

Home Solar Power Systems

much would it cost to power a 1000 sqft. house with a solar system to 100%. "

Including batteries at night to power.

It is common that misconception that the sizing of solar energy system is based on the size of your home. In fact, the best way to determine this look at the bill electricity. Are you looking for the number of kilowatt hours (kWh), which uses your home each month. It would be better if you could look at a bill that eventually would have a bit of "story" about it, showing its use over a year so you can have a good idea of your average energy consumption per month. If you do not have an account to leave, you can make a list of charges, calculation and amount of courage it takes to generate electricity. http://www.altestore.com/store/calculators/load_calculator/ The next factor that comes into play is the location of your home. Each site on the planet has a "value of insulation." This is the value means "sun noon "your house every day. These are the two factors that determine the size and cost of a solar home system. The addition of batteries in a system of this size can be very expensive ($ 3,000 – $ 40,000 for batteries only) and require monthly maintenance. The estimated cost of these systems would between $ 10,000 and $ 50,000 depending on usage and solar resources. If you want to have a better idea of a system to feed their own home, call your information into a calculator line. http://www.altestore.com/store/calculators/off_grid_calculator/

Solar Heating

Consider solar heating – to heat water?

solar heating can also heat your pool water, pool etc, the amount you know about it and consider it? please tell me everything. Thanks More details will be selected as the best answer – 10 pts:)

systems solar water heating using solar power to work with your conventional water heater. The technology is well developed, with a wide range of equipment to meet diverse applications. Benefits: You can provide almost all of their hot water during the summer months and around 50% throughout the year reduces the impact on environment – the average domestic system reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 400 kg per year, depending on the fuel replaced. Different types of system: What best suits your needs depends on a number of factors, including the roof area to the south, the existing water heating system (for example, some combination boilers are not suitable) and your budget. A competent professional installer should assess your situation and discuss with you the best configuration to meet your needs. heating solar water and home: solar water heating can be used at home or for larger applications such as swimming pools. For domestic hot water for three main components: solar panels, a heat transfer system, and a hot water cylinder. Solar panels – or collectors – are installed on the roof. They collect heat radiation the sun. The heat transfer system that uses heat to heat the water collected. The hot water cylinder stores the hot water is heated during the day and supplies later use. Is my property suitable? Preferably have 2 4m2 of southeast to southwest facing roof receives direct sunlight for most of the day. Also needed additional space to locate a bottle of water if necessary. Cost The cost of maintenance and installation of a typical flat-plate collector is built for £ 2000 – £ 3,000. Vacuum tube systems will cost £ 3500 – £ 4500. You can also adjust or build your own system. It may be cheaper but take longer time and need a certain level of skill. However, DIY jobs are not eligible for funding. solar hot water, usually come with a warranty 10 years and require very little maintenance. The annual verification by the owner and a more detailed check by a professional every 3-5 years should be sufficient (Consult your system supplier for exact maintenance
