The tutor offers an estimate about the price of going solar. In an earlier post , I reported my research findings of possibly 22W per $100 for a residential solar application. Here in BC, according to BC Hydro, the typical …
The tutor takes a detour from his solar energy series to explain kiloWatt*hour. A kiloWatt*hour means 1 kiloWatt multiplied by 1 hour. (The asterisk means “times.”) A Watt is energy used per second – aka, power. The unit is named …
Residential electricity: what is a kiloWatt*hour (kWh)? Read more »
The tutor continues from his last post about the value of solar energy dollars. In my last post I discussed the Wattage one might expect from solar energy for $100. Based on a graph from Scientific American, the equation for …
The tutor begins an exploration of the changing feasibility of solar energy. There is a graph provided by Scientific American that shows the Watts one might get for $100 from solar cells by year. As they point out, it’s a …
