What should I use between the solar panel array and the battery shed on the ground? Also, what type of wire should I use to connect each of the panels? I know a lot of panels come with plug and play connectors but I understand a lot of people replace them with…something.

solar panels on homes would reduce our consuption of coal, reduce the need for nuclear power, and create U.S. Based manufacturing for these panels, and create jobs in constuction.

Solve our energy crisis politicians, with tax incentives, or home building regulation.

Ok so here’s the thing, I want to make my own solar energy. I’m not saying huge amounts that can power my house, I just want enough that I could, I don’t know charge a battery. I also would like to learn how to make solar energy for things like flashlights I make myself. I need to know how to hook the solar power up as a power source. Thank you for all your help and website links would also be appreciated.

with the high cost of energy,$300.00 a month light bills and natural gas prices for the homes in the winter time going through the roof,why shouldn’t people be able to buy solar energy systems at an affordable price.Only the people who can afford to pay the high cost of heating an air conditioning can afford solar energy.Who and what is keeping this price of this technology out of the hands of the average person ? Why is the price so high ?If the price was lower more people would buy it and they still could make lots of money because of the large numbers of sales.It would also save a larger value of natural gas for future use in other places.
Well ,sorry to inform you ,but anybody and everybody and his little brother knows that there is no way to hookup utilities to the space station.In this age of people’s exposure to high technology ,I looked for more answers that made sense.People who can afford it have already proven that it can work in homes so that isn’t what I am looking for in an answer.The biggest problem with solar energy is that it is too expensive for the average person to put into their homes.The heart of the question is ,What and who is keeping this technology from being used,The price of energy is sky high and we are useing it up.We need to save on energy/ natural gas and we need to cut down on the use of coal because of polutions.Cannon E and peter J,stop looking at the question as if you think its a stupid Question(its not) people asking Questions is the way all problems are solved.

I’m trying to find information on solar panels or wind turbines that would be able to power a whole neighborhood, along with how much it would cost.

i wish also to have an outlet for supply of such systems in my area so also wish to have information on how i can earn also by doing the business of same domestic power solar supply chains.
FRIDGE,8 CEILING fans,one motor for water suction,and abt 5 tube lights.I wish to know abt the cheapest way of getting solar power system for my domestic use.may i get the answer of this question from the solar experts,suppliers,consultants, contractors,manufacturers etc.

I’ve looked at prices for individual solar panels, and they are pretty affordable. But that’s just the panel and I don’t know what else as for as labor and equipment it costs to install and hook up so that the panel actually powers other things like water heater or whatever. I know it probably depends on many factors but just give me an idea if you can. Thanks.

Where can i find information about building a home that uses mostly solar energy? Are there websites for this?

How expensive is solar energy to produce?

What does a solar energy power plant look like and how do they work?

What are the hidden costs to society and the world? ( pollution, etc)
