solar panels boston ma
What does it cost to install a solar panel able to create enough fuel for your car?
Just want to know if possible, maybe someone who reads this know something about it. In a suburban setting to say … Boston, MA, USA the amount of money that someone has to go through to install a solar panel could generate enough hydrogen and oxygen from the electrolysis of water to power the average car that had a 64% overall efficiency (80% of fuel cells, 80% efficiency motor / inverter) Could this also be done in less sunny but windy sites vertical wind collectors? At what price? Oh .. uhh if you do not want to do the calculations, does anyone have some numbers? As the cost per watt of solar panels or watt-hour one. Perhaps even compression of gases. Assume 35% efficiency of solar panels and fuel cells PEM (probably does not help)
You want to take a lot, as their efficiency numbers. The lower cost of photovoltaic solar panels, without any control modules, etc., cost about a dollar per watt, fob factory not installed. Now he will watt 8 hours per day, or say you need $ 120 for the panels that would give 1 kWh per day. I guess you could create a complete installation for the 400 kWh per day if using the car, the same amount every day. Now electric 'car' can be any everything from a Hummer converted to turn the bloc into kWH to electrically assisted bicycle wheel 4, which could range from 100 km to passengers pedaling. So he decides to how many times $ 200 a day habit can cost you. Understand that it would be wise to buy this if only for your car. Much of the cost will be batteries will be needed to store the energy, or power your home. Cheaper photovoltaic cells are not even close to 35% efficiency. try to 9%.
