Solar Panels
Solar Uses More Energy to Manufacture than it Produces? - Understand Solar Energy Payback: Clean Energy from PV: National Center for Photovoltaics PV FAQs (Fact sheet) (nrel.gov) How UK Latitude Affects Solar Panel Output - Photovoltaics.co.uk Why roof-top solar panels really don't make sense | Energy Central Hello, I read your article (https://solvoltaics.com/energy-make-solar-panel/) that a typical PV will take 200kWhrs to make a single 100-watt solar panel (I'm assuming that doesn't include the fossil fuels for the people to produce these in China or the shipping via Diesel and that used by installers etc.?) , and replenish the energy in a few years. However that is dependent on the latitude, and have read that for latitudes greater then 35 degrees this breaks down. I'm in the UK and had a neighbour who never re-couped the £10k costs and in winter the array only produced 40watts on the worst days. Another neighbour has had a 17 panel array installed & surplus ene...
