How many square feet of solar panel is needed to replace the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant?
A lot! The US Energy Information Administration says that the Vermont Yankee has a capacity of 620 megawatts during the summer. To generate 5 megawatts of solar power requires a solar farm about 30-35 acres large. Since 620 divided by 5 is 124, you would need 124 x 30 acres of solar plants. That comes to a total of 3,720 acres! One acre is 43,560 square feet. This means that it would require 162,043,200 square feet of solar farm to replace the facility which takes up less than one acre. And that's based on the low estimate. If you are looking for alternatives to the Vermont Yankee, I suggest you look elsewhere, because solar won't do it in Vermont.
Why do space probes have solar panels?
The Sun is the only place they can get energy in interplanetary space. It would be impossible at the moment to send them with enough fuel reserves to do everything we want them to.
How much CO2 is produced by solar power?
That would depend entirely on how the solar power is harnessed, but using the common methods: none.
Which would make a better solar power plant a polar reigon or a desert region?
Solar power is energy from the sun, so a desert region would be better for solar power because there are longer hours of sun in the desert than in the polar regions.
Would a solar powered device work on the moon?
Yes, solar power reaches the moon.
What would there be if there was no electricity?
You said it, no electricity. But with the advent of more efficient solar, wind and hydro power plants we'll pretty much have a power supply until the planet dies.
If you had a solar power house how would you power your building?
The solar power can power your house. Solar power energy can be used to power many things, it just depends on how many solar panels you have. Tioga Energy specializes in solar power. They install and facilitate the solar panels but the customer agrees to buy power from the power generated from the solar panels.www.tiogaenergy.com
Why does the power supply unit have a fan built?
To keep the power supply cool. If there were no fan the power supply would overheat and fail.
Can you use a graphics card that requires a power supply of 270watts on a machine with a power supply of 250watts?
I believe this would be unwise, it would overload the power supply and it may overheat.

What is the use of solar battery chargers?
I would assume that a solar battery charger is used to charge batteries using the sun's energy. It is a good choice for a green power supply. I'm not very knowledgeable about these things, though.
Is a 24VDC power supply short-circuit protected?
That would depend on the power supply.
How much land area would be covered by solar panels to replace Fukushima?
Fukushima generated 3,400 MW on average. One of the world's largest solar power plants is Agua Caliente Solar Project, which generates 626 GW·h / yr = 71 MW on average. So it would take 48 of the world's largest solar power plants to replace the Fukushima plant. Agua Caliente takes up 2,400 acres, so the total amount of land area required to replace Fukushima with solar panels is 2400*48 = 114,500 acres, which is about half the area of Hong Kong, or 132 times the area of the Fukushima plant.
What would happen to solar power if there was no Sun?
Solar is Sun so without the Sun there is no solar.
Why would you recommend solar power?
My family doesn't use solar power but I would reccomend it because it's cheaper and freindlier to the enviroment.
What are the dis advantages of solar power?
you would not have to
Who was the inventor of PS3?
The Sony PlayStation 3 is not powered by Solar Power. If someone has connected it to a solar power source that is capable of allowing the PS3 to function they did not invent a solar power PS3 and just connected the PS3 to a solar power source with the capability of providing enough power to the PS3 for it to function. It is likely that the solar power would be stored in batteries which would then be used to provide the power.
