Solar lighting. technical info.please?

By admin | April 2, 2008

tusitala asked:

I note that typical garden solar lights have the solar panel directly connected to the battery/light. What I would like to know is …… Is there a loss of efficiency/energy if the solar panel is remote ( say 2-3 metres/yards) and connected by electrical wire to the battery/light ?

Looking for some great solar light products to put in the front yard?

By admin | March 30, 2008

Vitaly C asked:

I currently reside in Florida, so I figured to take advantage of all the sunshine and decided to buy some solar lights and solar decorations to make the front yard look wonderful at night without having to use electricity . I found some good sites online, particularly www.officialsolarproducts.com but I am still searching for some great solar products for a bargain price. If anybody knows a good place to get some solar lights and solar decorations, please let me know.

Solar panels, do you get a huge bill once a year?

By admin | March 29, 2008

tameria t asked:

I seen a newspaper article where this guy bought a new home with solar panels and his first months energy bill was like $9.00. Than I overheard some people talking about a friend of theirs who was slapped with a huge energy bill, I cant remember what the exact amount was but it was in the high hundreds, and it was supposedly for having solar panels. Does anyone know if its true that energy companies charge customers for having solar panels and why?

Outdoor Solar Lighting - Southern US?

By admin | March 29, 2008

jenna asked:

Does anyone have any opinion (positive/negative) about the use of outdoor solar lighting in the Southern U.S.? I would place them in an area where they would receive direct sun most of the day - it is also quite warm here most of the year. Is there a particular brand that anyone has had decent luck with?
Thanks!!
