solar power

02/28/2012 2:41 PM

If the sun runs the electric motor from solar panel, and the motor runs the generator, then the electricity is now from the sun. Will there be a charge for sun energy?

No, but there will be the costs of the various equipment involved.

Using solar power to run an electrical generator causes people to ask foolish questions.

I wouldn't think "Are you an idiot?" as being a foolish question.

The energy produced by the generator that is powered by energy produced by the solar panels would be about 50% of the energy produced initially by the solar panels.

You've been out in the sun too long.
