how do I clean my photovoltaic (solar) panels?

I have flat solar panels (like this http://www.sanyo.com/industrial/solar/index.cfm?productID=1232) mounted on my roof. Even after hosing them down, they still have a fine coating of pollen, etc. I really don’t want to get onto the roof to clean them, so is there anything out there that will help me get them clean from the ground? Or something to make it easier if I do have to get up there?

If yours are covered in glass, like mine, try those window washer thingies that they use in gas stations. I know you will have to climb up there to use them, but it makes it quite easy and quick to clean…

solar panels battery

When buying a recreational vehicle (RV), you have the option to choose a vehicle that comes with a gasoline generator or one that uses solar energy. These options are important because it supply the power needed to charge the on board battery bank.

An RV that uses a gas generator is cheaper in comparison to an RV that uses solar panel. When the motor home is parked, you can have a constant supply of electricity to the living compartment by firing up the generator.

However, a gas generator is noisy and creates a lot of pollution. When you are in the natural wilderness, the last thing you want to do is pollute it with smoke and loud noise. Using a generator can be expensive also because you have to constantly top it up with gasoline.

Many RV owners would rather opt for the solar power system option. It is clean, efficient, zero pollution,

Are Photovoltaic Solar Panels that are currently on the market, environmental friendly upon disposal?

Photovoltaic Solar Panels/ Cells are getting more efficient & affordable. But are they safe for the environment when it is time to dispose them?

The components of a solar panel are designed to be inert: they sit exposed to the environment for 20 or more years with little degradation.
The creation of photocells is not so benign: it takes a fair amount of strong chemicals and energy to produce a photovoltaic panel. The payback, economically and in terms of environmental damage (tradeoff on energy/chemicals used to create it vs. CO2, Hg etc. reduced during cell’s lifetime), may take twenty or thirty years.

The “true” cost of solar panels for a solar electric system on a residential house is largely determined by rebates and incentives. The current market rate for a solar electric system is around $8-10 per installed Watt. How many Watts you need is determined by your electricity usage. You can find out more about sizing a solar electric system here….

If you already have a very efficient house and lifestyle, it might be worth looking into a solar electric system. If not, you’re much better off investing your money into

Is it better to mount a solar panel on a vehicle at an angle or flat?

My class is making an electric vehicle and I need to know if it is better to mount a solar panel at an angle or flat on the back of the truck we’re using. Please cite your sources so I can check your information. Thank you.

Much like the Mars rovers, I would lay them flat. The rovers however also have the ability to follow the sun while they are stationary so they can absorb the maximum amount of energy, but I doubt yours will be as complex as NASA’s
