How Much Power Does Solar Power Generate?
No one answer will cover this question: ‘How much power does solar power generate?’ Larger systems generate more power than small ones, newer technology is more efficient than older methods, and a properly installed and sited system will work better than one set up incorrectly.
Solar power can also be divided into solar collection and photovoltaic cell panels. A collector uses the heat of the sun to heat air or water more efficiently than transforming the heat into electricity and using that to make heat. The solar or PV cells absorb heat which is changed into electricity, best used to power appliances. Only the largest systems are suitable for heating and cooling the average house or building.
Older technology lost as much power in the transmission as it delivered. The newer crystalline silicon cells and this solar film technology is much more efficient. A system which used to pay for itself in eight years at best can now sometimes show a positive return in less than a year and a half.
Satellite solar power is most efficient, although there are significant construction and operating costs. The sun’s power is not dissipated by atmospheric intervention in outer space. On earth, the systems that follow the sun’s progress across the sky like sunflowers produce more power. The usual and most affordable roof-top systems must be sited to get as much sun as possible from a stationary position.
You can see from your utility bill how much energy you use. Find the kilowatt hours used, divide this number by the days of the month, and the answer will be the daily usage. A rough estimate is usually near 1300 kH, and a system capable of this output is priced at about $20,000. The cost means that few take advantage of the whole-house technology unless they live in an area with no power service. Most residential systems are connected to the grid, which is used for storage and for extra energy when necessary.
In speaking of independent systems with battery storage, the power output must be higher than the amount needed to charge the batteries. What is left over can be used to power the unit. Solar power is more easily regulated and more consistent than wind power, which is often too little or too much. Wind is useful for something like a water tank, which can be filled as much as necessary. The surplus water will just overflow. A wind system, however, can overcharge the batteries if there is no appliance turned on to take the charge, causing damage to the storage units.
How much power solar power systems can generate is a subject understood only when the act of generating and using electricity is comprehended first. After that, it is relatively simple, and the industry is growing slowly but surely. I have personally managed to build my own home DIY renewable energy system by following an online system which you can find out more about at my website link below.
