solar power panel
What can a 1 watt solar panel power?
I’m thinking of getting a solar panel for my house to help cut back on power use (I live in New Mexico). What sort of appliances can I run on a 1 watt solar panel? Is it worth it to get a single watt panel or is it more efficient to get a multi-watt panel?
New Mexico is a good area for solar.
Unfortunately, solar electric panels generally don’t save money over grid electricity until the installed system is large – like, 1000 watts or more, 4000 watts being a common size. This costs many thousands of dollars up front, which hopefully are paid back over the years in electricity savings.
There are a couple other things to look into, though. The first is conservation and efficiency. If you can shade and insulate your house so that the air conditioner doesn’t run so much, that can pay for itself in a year.
Also, NM is an excellent place for a solar water heater. Call a solar installer to see how much it would cost. That would pay back in a few years, with a much smaller investment than solar electric.
