A Question about Solar panels?


Question:
Can any body tell me how much Electricity can 10 Standard solar panels produce in a day( in terms of Watts)

Or else please tell me how many Watts is 5 volts of electricity?

Answer:
A standard size of solar panel could be anywhere from less then 6 watts to over 190 watts and voltage of a solar panel is just as wide.

A 100 watt solar panel at 5 volts (watts divided by volts) is 20 amps. However I have never heard of a 5 volt solar panel. Normally around 17.2 volts or 16.5 volts.

Watts divided by volts gives you amps
Watts divided by amps gives you the volts
volts times amps gives you wattage

Now you ask about how much can they produce. This depends on the area you live in and the time of the year. There is a thing called Peak Sun Hours. In the area I ive in I get about 4 an a half Peak Sun Hours a day. So using my 800 watt system times 4.5 I should get about 3.6 kWh or kill-a-watt hours a day in the winter and a little more in the summer. I found I normally get about 3.2 kWh in the winter and about 4.8 kWh in the summer.

Here is a peak sun hours map. http://www.oynot.com/solar-insolation-ma...

I hope that helps.
I am sure someone can tall you.
You are missing one bit of information in order to get an answer. Watts = Volts x Amps Find out how many amps the collector can put out and you can then plug in the numbers into the equation and get your answers.
You have to know the amperage to figure out the watts. Volts x Amps= watts
