How do you calculate solar production ratio? The production ratio is simply the estimated amount of kWh/year a solar array will produce, divided by the total wattage of the solar array. How do I calculate what size solar system I need?...
How do I calculate what size solar system I need? You can calculate how many solar panels you need by multiplying your household’s hourly energy requirement by the peak sunlight hours for your area and dividing that by a panel’s wattage....
What is a good solar system size? Based on our experience, our rule of thumb is that 1 kilowatt (kW) of solar installed in NC will produce 1,300-kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. So if your home uses 12,000 kWh per year,...
Is the solar system bigger than a light year? The Light Year is about 64,500 times larger than the Astronomical Unit, too large to be appropriate for an object the size of our solar system. The Light Year is fine for...
How far is Mars from the Sun right now? Size and Distance From an average distance of 142 million miles (228 million kilometers), Mars is 1.5 astronomical units away from the Sun. Is Mars Hot or cold? Temperatures on Mars average...
How many years will it take to go to Mars? The spacecraft departs Earth at a speed of about 24,600 mph (about 39,600 kph). The trip to Mars will take about seven months and about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers)....
What is the real distance from Earth to sun? Scientists sometimes call our region of space the “Goldilocks Zone” because it appears to be just right for life. As noted earlier, Earth’s average distance to the Sun is about 93 million...
Is Earth a big planet compared to other planets? While Earth is only the fifth largest planet in the solar system, it is the only world in our solar system with liquid water on the surface. Just slightly larger than nearby...
Is the solar system bigger than the universe? Solar systems orbit around their galaxies just as planets orbit around their suns. The Universe is the largest. All things, including galaxies and solar systems, are included within the Universe. How small is...
How long is a light-year in Earth years? Since light travels at about 186,300 miles per second, with 86,400 seconds per day and about 365 days per year, that works out at about: 186300×86400×365≈5,875,000,000,000 miles. What is 40 light years away...
