Solar Power Panels
Posted July 15, 2009

Aside from being expensive. What are the drawbacks of using solar panels as power source for home use?
Loads will be home lighting, maybe 5 computers, refrigerator, T.V. and other home appliances totaling maybe about 1-2 megawatt load if all appliances are turned on at the same time.
“1-2 MegaWatt” ??????????????????
A small home without air conditioning will peak at about 5-6 KW.
“Aside from being expensive” the drawbacks of a small solar plant of this size is maintenance.
Batteries and panels have a limited service life, (I know, – part of “expensive”), which is shortened if they are not properly maintained.
Most owners won’t do it.
