Solar Panel: Difference between revisions

Solar panels should be placed on the top of machines or wires/cables with a view of the sky. During the day when it is not raining, they will generate their stated power level (1V, 8V, 32V, etc). At night or when it is raining, they will generate 1/8 of their stated power level, except for the 1V panel, which will produce zero. Solar panels can be placed under glass without affecting their efficiency, and when cable mounted, are not subject to fire or explosions when exposed to rain.

Solar panel covers will bepanels become 'dirty' over time, very slowly reducing in power output.
