Solar Panels In Action

Four 160 watt Kyocera solar panels in action, March 10, 2007 in southern Wisconsin. 11.5 hours of sunlight generated 4 kW's of electricity...way enough to power the fridge, a dozen flourescent bulbs, the circulating pump for the radiant heat, the well pump and tv/radio for hours.
And it powered this laptop and a video camera all day as well.
The entire system was about $10,000. Everything here was bought at the Alternative Energy Store, at altenergystore.com.
And I had to stand still for like 15 minutes to get in this video for half a second at the end!

@logicson Not sure where you are. I live in central Florida and City of Leesburg charged me $0.111/kWH last month (0.81609/kWH base rate +0.0295/kWH variable charge). That works out to $162/year

@Thudothwacker With that number and size of panels - I'd say the whole day. You'd need 25 or more of those for 4kW per hour.
