Piesl Final Project
Final Project
You want to buy a house in either El Cajon or Oceanside/Carlsbad. The roof area is 2000sqft. You intend to install solar panels on the roof. When do the costs amortize? Where to would you move (all other criteria being equal)? Create a .ppt showing ALL of the following data incl. references and pictures:
Avg. yearly sunshine duration in both locations
Raw material costs – solar panels & aggregates like battery and power converter (est.)
Installation costs (est.) and state subsidies (if any, est.)
Efficiency of commercial solar cells used incl. ageing effects over time impacting efficiency?
Would you install the cells in a static manner or tilting with the sun position?
Yearly power output of solar cell system – calculated (incl. formulas)
Avg. yearly power consumption of a typical household
Difference = Net power available for feeding back into the grid
- Assuming 10cts/kWh how long does it take to amortize system?
