It would be great to have an electric meter that ran both ways. Thereby only allowing the electric companies to charge us for the power we did not compensate for by solar power.

Solar Power Water Heaters
Which is more efficient and more successful? Less than a tank waterheater Waterheater solar energy?
I'm trying to be more efficient energy in my house (at least as the water heater goes. And I'm trying to figure out why water heating system is the best way to "green" go tankless or solar water heater? Anyone know about one or two? Thanks
My parents have a tankless water heater, and worship. She is electric and uses no power until the hot water tap is turned on. Therefore, only works to heat the water goes down the tubes. So turn off the faucet, turn off the heater. Heat is instantaneous, and limit the heat. Here is the site he bought. Others have used and I love it too. Very efficient to use, and not much money to create. Solar water heaters would work very well but are expensive to install. It takes a long time to make your money with them.

Solar
What is the current solar technology practice that should be chosen to produce, to avoid costly R & D?
Hi, for a school project, I was asked to establish a business model of a factory to produce solar energy. But I'm stuck a little. The main thing I have a problem with understanding the difference between panels, or photovoltaic solar film and painting. It is likely that current technology should opt for a (production), with a lower risk in light of future changes? Can anyone help clarify this for me? Thanks!
Up to 100% efficiency, none of the technologies currently "Viable" solar can avoid the possibility of becoming obsolete. With advances in materials and carbon nanotubes is only on the horizon, you can expect significant progress in the near future. Whatever the actual product you select for your business model, which is expected to be modified to adapt new technologies for it. This is a trial, if you go to the expensive production facilities make the layer of high-performance panels in three dimensions or more PV market in an attempt to reduce productivity, but the cheap paint photovoltaics, where the emphasis would be on the installation service in place of production or the medium of film, is unknown. The decision should be decided by non-financial and marketing of a technical decision.

How much does it cost to make a solar power/energy station?
I am doing an assignment and I need to know how much does it cost to make a solar power/energy station because the internet doesn’t give me a lot of answers its all about homes not plants and stations.
So yeah if you can help me with my question thanks.
Solar Cells
When building homemade solar panels are some steps you need to do. First you need to connect each cell in a sequence (6 cells with sequence). You have to make six strings to produce enough voltage to produce a significant amount of energy. Once he made chains need to connect each other.
The first thing to do to connect the chains of cells together is to make sure you have all the tools together. When connecting the wires together, you need a piece of something that will be used for solar panel face (I use plexiglass as it is relatively cheap and will not break like glass). The blade should be 2 "X 4". This is a couple of inches longer than we need, but then they get together, you can trim the excess. Other tools you need are a soldering iron, the bus wire, flux, and some silicone.
If you are using a shell of Plexiglas on one side of paper to expose the surface. Put all chains of cells in the sheet and allow safe space beyond them (I use a small piece of wood. Once they are spaced correctly apply a small Silicone touch to keep each string in place. The reason for this is so you do not have to worry about things slide when all welds. Do not worry by fusion or plexiglass … I used this method for more than 50 panels and nothing went wrong.
Now is the time to leave your soldering iron and heat. While is heating up the place a small stream in each of the strings that are to be connected. The flow is important because without the solder does not "stick" to the cell, and instead, keep the soldering iron.
Cut a bus cable (as the wire tab, but more than they can handle more power) and put between each chains to be welding together. Touch the solder to it and apply a little solder. Do this for each of the six strings.
Congratulations! You successfully connected all the strings of solar cells together. Before you usually spend the paper in front and a flashlight on it while connected to a multimeter to ensure that everything is connected correctly and that produces energy.
I built my own solar panels and a wind generator and saved well over $30,000. I get a cheque from the power company because I produce more energy than I use.

What is the most cost-effective place to buy large solar electric panels?
We don’t have enough money right now to buy capacity for the whole house, which would probably require about 12 kilowatts. However, I would like to start buying panels toward building up toward that.
But I want to buy the most solar panel for the least price. I think that piecing a lot of very small panels together will be a very expensive way to do it.
Does anyone know the least expensive way to buy large solar electric panels?
Solar Energy Systems
Are systems of wind and solar power is indicated only when the sun shines, the wind blowing?
Also, please go to any revision popular literature and expert sources who can help with this problem?
There are some options. So you can tie to the network and waiting area will a surplus, while another area is in crisis. Electricity is already transferred over long distances, so this is not new, but the load balancing is a problem, and there are problems with new sources of energy that is added to the network. For solar energy, the maximum load is the first energy during the day, especially on hot days, when the A / C is necessary for solar power plants that can take the place of natural gas "peaker" plant used to help with a full load. Second, if you have solar power systems (as opposed to solar photovoltaic), you can heat a mass holds the heat, and then use the heat later. This could work for several days of clouds, but the total energy production would be reduced over time. Photovoltaics work very good lighting conditions cloudy, do not need a clear blue sky.

How much energy could be generated by adding solar panels to the Alaskan Pipeline?
Using low-end, i.e. cheap, solar panels, based on existing technology, how much energy can be generated by adding solar panels to the total length of the Alaskan Pipeline? And if possible, how does that compare with the energy of the oil being pumped through the pipe. Not sure what the light cycle is along the pipe.
Solar Power Disadvantages
The solar energy advocates say that is how the fuel of the future. Skeptics tend to find reasons for solar energy will not work. The truth is that there is some validity to both sides. There are advantages and disadvantages of using solar energy.
One reason solar energy is so desirable is that no obligation to find a fuel source other than sunlight. This means that no excavation or pumping is required to access the power source as fossil fuels. As sunlight is available every day at least to some extent, it is easy to use energy.
For each system solar energy used, pollution is reduced more. Solar energy is clean and puts off any harmful emissions into the atmosphere. No cause water pollution and not litter the ground. There is simply no energy source that causes less damage to the planet.
solar energy systems can be expected last a long time. Wear-resistant. Must be built to last, so that owners can recoup their investments. It turns out that energy systems solar last much longer than that.
The reliability factor is important for all energy sources. Solar energy passes the reliability test with flying colors. With a good system, solar energy can have a house outside the power grid completely with a constant supply.
The costs of maintaining a power system solar are very low. Some system components can last for decades without any maintenance at all. Solar panels have been allowed to keep 80% of their effectiveness up to 25 years. Other parts will be replaced early, but if all goes well there should be no maintenance costs at all during the first five years.
A solar energy system is not too dangerous or too complicated for most people to run. Does not require the supervision of the administration or any other agency because they pose no risk. The cost of running the systems is very low.
Certainly there are some downsides of using solar energy. Before that consumers can have any solar energy, have to invest thousands of dollars. In five to ten years, which will raise the cost savings on electricity bills. However, if people do not have the capital to make the initial outlay of cash, it is easier to get your electricity from your local dealer.
The other main reason that solar energy is not ideal is that it performs well on cloudy days or at night. Like most people still need power in these times, have two options. You can connect to the network and part of its energy from the network, or they can use battery storage. Both cost money in the form additional.
In the end, the advantages of solar energy outweigh the drawbacks. It seems that the main obstacle is price. However, as technology Green is reduced in price, this type of energy becomes even more desirable.
