Solar Energy: For A Project, What Wattage For Solar Panels Should We Use For Our 7th Grade Science Project? (7/15/2012)

in Solar Energy

It’s not like we’re really building it, we just need to do research to find out what information comes with using solar energy and other eco-friendly alternatives. So, for our house, (it’s like this puiny model thingy of it… we’d use tin foil for the panels…) what wattage would theoretically we would need??
sorry if thats confusing…
so basically, to supply a house, what would be a good wattage for the panels!?!??
thank you.
and they vary on the website im on from “1 to 5 watts” to “200 or greater”..
so yeah.

MUCH THANKS!! =D

If you are trying to power the house you need to consider the needs /consumption of the house. Are you running standard voltage, charging batteries for an inverter? I would suggest you use as many as you can for the greater supply. Certain locals are promoting a “buy back” program from the electricity providers for homes that are solar powered. The Japanese are much more progressive in this area, you may find some more answers there. Good Luck!
