Solar Panel Fan
Would rooftop Solar Panels provide enough power to run ceiling fans and lamps?
I’m hoping to install rooftop panels over the next five years, curious how much output they have. I live in San Antonio, TX so there is never a lack of sunshine to provide.
Sure. You can get solar panels to run part or all of your household needs. How much depends on your budget. Are you looking to take these devices off the electric grid and just run them off batteries through an inverter, or do you just want to create enough electricity to offset what they use, and keep them connected to the electric grid with the rest of the household appliances?
It may be helpful to you to go to the calculators here to determine how many solar panels you need to install to power your requirements. http://www.altestore.com/howto/Calculators/c5/ I strongly recommend if you are trying to power lamps, that they have either CFL or LED bulbs in them, not the energy hog incandescent ones.
