can we lay solar power panels in roof of the factory?

i been close link with spinning mills.is there any chance to lay solar voltranic cells on the roof, from there producing power.what is the constraint behind this idea?and the possible power like how much we can produce from this.

    In today's world with huge advancement in science and technology it is easily possible to achieve the your desired target. You can use solar cell on your roof top which can produce electricity which you can use to fulfill your desired need and requirement.Since the equipment involved is not of much bigger size and dimension, therefore you can easily install them and use it for your requisite purposes.

    A simple answer. Decide how much money your factories can spend on solar, Determine how large the roof area is that can be dedicated to solar, (make sure the roof is in a sunny location and is free of obstructions) and install the amount of solar that fits your budget and your roof space. I assume your factories already have power from the power company. The larger the system, the greater the reduction to your existing power bill.

    When calculating your budget, you should include any tax credits, rebates, or incentives available from your federal, state, provincial, local or national governments, Check with your power company too, they may have some money you can tap into.

    Solar panels can be placed on the roof of a factory. In the northern hemisphere they should tilt south, in the southern hemisphere they should tilt north. The best angle equals your latitude. A community group can group together and share a solar system and reduce some costs. Solar return is dependant on your world location and the local solar radiation levels. Grid feed electricity can earn money especially when there is a renewable energy tariff which is usually higher than regular power costs. Your solar considerations should be considered based on renewable energy generated over 25 to 30 years. Solar panels need to be kept clean. This may be an issue at a mill.

    They're not real cheap. Here's a flexible "solar shingle" that can be installed in rows on a metal roof, generating about 136 watts and costing about 400 dollars. Dimensions: 216 x 15.5 x 0.2".

    How much power you can generate depends on how much space you have available, and how much money you have to buy cells with, and how much sun you get.

    If you don't have a local power grid at all to fall back on, you need a lot of these. You also need banks of deep cycle lead acid batteries and power inverters.

    The best situation is where you have a local power grid to tie into, and where the power grid is willing to buy back any excess power you produce.

    The main constraint is the cost. I'm sure photovoltaic panels will come to be more widely adopted as a function of how much more cheaply they can be marketed.

    i think of the factor you're attempting to make is that photograph voltaic electrical energy is extra costly than different ability of mass produced electrical energy immediately, and that i might agree. despite if, that would not advise that photograph voltaic panels are no longer priceless, extremely to a client interior the wonderful area. After the electrical powered corporation provides in its distribution expenses and income, residential photograph voltaic electric powered can honestly be extra much less costly. and honestly, we've had panels on our roof for the previous 5 years. someplace interior the international, there's a manufacturing unit producing AA batteries to apply in flashlights, cameras, etc. i'm specific the manufacturing unit does no longer run off AA batteries, yet i discover AA batteries useful for specific issues around the abode.

    Solar Power Panels can be installed on the roof of the factory where sufficient sunlight is available and you can expect to have maximum possible capacity of power.

    Photo-voltaic panels can be installed on a factory, or pretty much anywhere else for that matter. You would have to figure out how much electricity kilowatt hours KWH you are using. Decide how much of it you want to replace to get you size in KW. One KW = 1,000 watts. Of course stay hooked up to the grid for days when the Solar does not produce well.
