Monica Barrick, UR- Solar Spill or Oil Spill

I was recently able to talk to someone who went to a solar seminar, he gave me some get insight and I have a couple changes. I am going to change my 90 degree angle to 20 degrees. So now my solar panels will be at 0, 20 and 44 degrees. I made those changes because he believes the best angle for our latitude is between 20-25 degrees. I am excited to see my results and being able to conclude which angle is actually has the best solar performance. I also have a better understanding on energy and he recommended getting at least a 12V solar panel. I have ordered my solar panels and I also got poles to mount them on so they will not move if there is wind or rain. Once they arrive, I am going to make sure they work and give more information on them. There's really not much more then that so far but I have such a better understanding on how solar panel works in general.

They are always trying to improve solar panel and I found a really cool idea called  a solar flower.  This is such a great invention, The best part about it is that it is able to retract at anytime so if there is a storm your solar cells will not become damaged. Here is a Video on how they open up.

I hope to have much more information on my next blog, by then I will hopefully have my solar cells up and running!
