You just graduate from college and find a job (yah! Congrats!). You buy a new house and would like to install solar panels for the house (thanks for going green!). The daily energy consumption of the house is 30 kWhr. The solar energy a standard solar panel can capture varies by location. In your area, the daily energy captured by a standard 250 W panel is 1.1 kWhr. How many Ds are the daily energy per panel and daily house energy use, respectively? How many panels do you need for your home (please round to an integer)?

Respuesta :

Answer: Number of panels needed is 27

Daily energy per 250 W panel is 1.1kWhr

Daily house energy used is 30kWhr

Explanation: To get 27 panel it is 250*30/1.1 =6818

6818/250= 27 panels needed daily
