How big would the solar panel be to generate that amount of energy? Thanks for your help!! !

0.5 Volts (V)
They never fully pay themselves off.
I work for the largest energy maker on the east coast, sadly the gov’t mandates us to make “renewable” sources, which is dumb because all energy sources arwe renewable, contrair to what people are brainwashed into believing.
But energy panels have never once fully payed themselves off for us, even with the large gov’t grant we’re givin they still don’t pay off the part of the money we payed for them
Fact is, big and local governments might subsidize installations, but they’ve been running low on cash for these initiatives. The idea was better than reality.
Generating power from a free source is a nice idea, would even work if the polysilicates weren’ t so expensive. In the end, its agreed by the people that know what they are talking about and have experience with solar panels, the current price for them never offsets the total cost.
As for voltage, that would depend on how large the panel is. Most solar panels are actually made up of mini panels that are linked together in series to make a higher voltage unit.
You would have to check the specifications for the panel itself. That and with newer technologies coming out. Currently most of us use the thin film type, but there are new inventions not on the market yet that are suppose to be able to give more voltage out for the same amount of sun light. But these are still being experiemented with by small developmental companies.
i think u get about 1 watt per square foot
If it is green living you are looking for, and want a solar panel good enough for your home, then with the conventional methods you are just not going to succeed. The typical mistake people make is to use the obvious solar panels. Hence, they don’t succeed.
If you plan strategically and have enough sunlight in your area, then you can easily make a solar panel that pays off quickly.

High end solar panels generate 200 watts at 18 volts.
Households (USA) require 120 volts, so you would need 7 panels each at 18 volts, to match the energy usage of 200 watts at 120 volts.
The cost for 7 panels is about $ 6000.
i dont know the technicallity of them, but their is right now on my ceiling more than 15 solar panels that were installed around ten years ago as a sollution to high power bills in my country, i had to buy 16 deep cycle batteries and a bunch of expensive stuff, and we were then a family of about 5… by 2am the lights went out… we had to sleep in the dark after 2am, or the power would come on and of randomly… if you live on your own you might be ok.. but if a big family dont do it…
mine have been laying on my ceiling for almost a decade unused…
