OTHER THAN SIZE AND SURFACE AREA, WHAT MAKES A BLADE DESIGN FOR A WIND TURBINE EFFICIENTNT?
Jul 19th
Question by Khaled:
Other than Size and surface area, what makes a blade design for a wind turbine Efficientnt?
So i am making a wind turbine, and i know that the more blades more surface area would make it more efficient, but what aspect in the design would make it most efficient , because i want to compare different designs and come up with a central rule for blade efficiency, Can anyone help?

Q&A: CAN SOLAR ENERGY BE IMPLEMENTED IN AN OFTEN DARK, RAINY AREA?
Jul 11th
Question by frog:
Can Solar Energy Be Implemented In an often Dark, Rainy Area?
Help! How Can Solar Energy Be Implemented In an often Dark, Rainy Area? We have seen extremely harsh and blistering winters in the Northeastern United States. Would not it be logical to state that a massive part of the time, solar energy can’t be implemented at all in such regions?

HOW TO CALCULATE THE AREA OF A SOLAR CELL IN A SOLAR PANEL?
Jun 6th
Question by khyati:
How to compute the area of a solar cell in a solar panel?
the solar cell is multi band solar cell, but the size is not known, total area required for the solar panel is known and the electricity consumption per day is also known but i want to know the size of a solar cell required and how much solar cells does panel can have and how to compute the number of panels required? also the efficiency of the solar cell is 50%

I AM CONSIDERING A SOLAR PANELS. HOW CAN I TELL IF MY AREA GETS ENOUGH SOLAR ENERGY A YEAR TO BE WORTHWHILE?
Aug 18th
Question by evelina rolon:
I am considering a solar panels. How can I tell if my area gets enough solar energy a year to be worthwhile?
I want to know how I can determine my area’s (Rochester NY) yearly solar energy output to see if it would make economic sense to install solar panels. Any websites or resources where I can look?

WHAT TOTAL SOLAR CELL AREA WOULD YOU NEED TO PROVIDE ENERGY NEEDS? MASTERING PHYSICS PROBLEM?
Aug 3rd
Question by Jokers Finest:
What total solar cell area would you need to provide energy needs? Mastering Physics problem?
Solar cells convert the energy of incoming light to electric energy; a good quality cell operates at an efficiency of 15%. Each person in the United Says uses energy (for lighting, heating, transportation, etc.) at an average rate of 11 kilowatts . Even though sunlight varies with season and time of day, solar energy falls on the United Says at an average intensity of 200 W/m^2.
Assuming you live in an average location, what total solar-cell area would you need to provide all of your energy needs with energy from the sun?
