Solar panels Definition and 60 Threads

Is it possible to connect solar panels to a mini hand held fan and making it run on both rechargeable batteries and solar panels? I'm sorry if it's vague. i need to make a hand held fan that runs automatically on solar panels (when there's sun) and on its rechargeable batteries (when there's no...

One day i would like to work on improving and designing Photovoltaic solar panels. I was wondering which degree in university is generally took, if one wants to research in solar panels. I for sure know that mechanical engineers research with thermal solar panels, but what about voltaics? thanks

I've found some resources online about building your own solar panels. The basic premise I've found is this: solar cells -> diode -> battery -> inverter -> mocha machine First off, if anyone has done this before, any general advice would be appreciated. More specifically, I need someone to...

Hello, I'm currently doing a project which involves generating power from thin film solar panels, I have found the kind I need on a site (http://www.siliconsolar.com/flexible-solar-panels-6v-p-16205.html) which suits my size and power criteria but I am not totally sure how I would go about...

THe solar cells can power an electrical battery and help offset the need to use greenhouse gas.

Hi My name is sébastien Cornez. I'studying ingeneering at the University of Liège in Belgium. I'm in my last year in aerospatial. I look for informations, contacts and weblinks about motors for the deployment of solar pannels in space. If you have information can you send it to me at...

So what's the deal with solar panels? How much do you end up paying per average watt-hour your house consumes through solar panels to equal your use? As in... if a panel costs $2000 for that generates 200Wh, I am paying $20/Wh for the panel to equalize it. What are some real world figures...

Is it possible to have solar panels one over the other with little space between them to get 10 panel stacked structures to increase the amount of solar energy absorbed? There are four solar panels. Another 4 on top of them leaving some space between this four and the bottom four. In the...

would there be any difference if different wavelengths of light is shined on a solar panel? like red, blue and green light. would blue produce the must power becuse the frequency is the heighest? also would ultrviolet light work on solar panels? would it produce more energy?

Does anybody know a website for putting solar panels on the roof of your house?
