Build Solar Panel

What is an issue or something interesting about the solar panel technology?

I’m hoping to do a science fair project on solar panels. Since energy has been a big issue lately, I was hoping to research on this topic! What are some things that I can possibly do or experiment on?

Thank you!
P.S. Any science fair related tips are also greatly appreciated!!!

I have a cabin up state where power lines cant reach it i was wondering if there is a specific place that is better than another in Ny to buy solar panel? I also heard you can get almost 75% of what you spend on solar panel back in government rebates is this true?

How long will it take a 100 Watt solar panel to charge a 55 Amp hour car battery?

Passive Solar Panel Tracking

This is a video of the panels I will be using at the UF biodiesel plant. The solar panel arrays in the Solar Energy Park use a passive tracking system which allows for the panels to increase efficiency about 20%.

If I connect a solar panel oppositely to a battery, what happens to their currents?

buildsolar — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:31:16 +0000

I know their open circuit voltage will subtract. But what about their closed circuit current? Will they subtract too?

Which solar panel would be appropriate when powering a 65L water tank?

buildsolar — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:07:00 +0000

I’m not sure about:

1) Which voltage 12 or 24.
2) How many amps
3) How many watts

Basically all it does is, cools water (from 50 deg C) so it can be drinkable (filtering has been sorted out). Again, the tank ~ holds 65 liters.
