The Sun is a clean and sustainable source of energy which can be used in place of conventional electricity to power our lives. Sunlight is composed of energy particles called photons. Solar Panels are used to convert this light from the sun into electricity which can in turn be used to power many systems. Solar Panels can be housed in telecommunication equipments, remote sensing, building heating systems, solar lighting systems, etc.
Power Output of Solar Panel
The wattage or power output is an important consideration to make when planning to buy one. 100 Watt, 200 Watt, 400 Watt etc., whatever you hear associated with solar panels is the power output, wattage or the capacity of the solar panel. Most solar power panels which are at present available in the market produce power between 250 Watts and 400 Watts.
Factors Determining Solar Panel Output
The power output of any solar panel depends on two factors: Cell efficiency and solar panel size.
Cell Efficiency: On an average, present solar cells can covert only about 20% of the energy that hits on them into usable energy. With higher efficiency, you get you use solar panels with more power output.
Solar Panel Size: Solar Panel is actually made up of solar cells. Solar cells arranged in rows and columns make up what we call the solar panel. The standard size of the solar panel is 6 inch x 6 inch. Consider the case of 60 cell solar panels which has a cell arrangement of 6 columns and 10rows. They can provide about 300 Watt power. In case of a 72 cell solar panel, the cell arrangement is 6 columns and 12 rows providing power output of about 400 Watts.
Is there any Solar Panel providing 1000Watt Power?
1000 Watt solar panel system is one of the most popular size of solar panel system. 1000 Watt power may not be a sufficient to meet the annual energy needs of a large home. However, it is a pretty good power to offer considering cabins, vans, workshops, etc.
To be precise, there is no solar panel in the market which can provide 1000 Watt as such. What we can have is 1000 Watt solar panel system. At present, the maximum power output which can be provided by a solar panel is 400 Watt. So now let us see how we can make a solar panel system providing 1000 Watts for our need.
How to make 1000Watt Solar Panel System?
In order to make a 1000 Watt solar panel system, you may need to string together several solar panels. In most cases, a 1000 Watt solar panel system consists of 5 solar panels each of which generating 200Watts. Another option is having 10 solar panels, each generating 100 Watts. Now adding together the wattage of all the panels in the system can lead to solar panel system contributing 1000 Watt power.
Now the market has some of the plug and play options available in the form of 1000 Watt complete solar panel kits. Let us have a look at some of these.
