    Yr 12 Research Project

    Hi everyone would really appreciate it if you could fill out this survey.

    Create and publish online surveys in minutes, and view results graphically and in real time. SurveyMonkey provides free online questionnaire and survey software.


    Also if anyone could help answer any of these questions.

    What is the purpose of this so called survey?

    Post it one time and in one place only - I have removed 3 copies from different forums so far.

      • Are solar panels affordable for the average working class family? Are they affordable to replace?
      • On average how long do solar panels last? Are they resilient enough to withstand the effects of nature?
      • Can the solar energy which is produced, be stored?
      • What contributing factors do the panels rely on to produce power?
      • What type of advancements will solar energy undergo in the next 5-10 years?



      Thanks Britt xo
      Affordability depends on the cost of local utility, and insolation in the area. Varys greatly.

      Panels have lasted for 40 years with only a slight loss. How well were they made is the Proper queston.

      Which effects of Nature ? Hurricane tossed lawn chairs ? trees uprooted from tornado? baseball size hail?
      most mfg's list hailstone size xx mm @ xx KPH All vary.

      Power stored? Sure, many ways. I prefer the GRID as a battery.

      Solar Brightness and panel tempeture have the most influence on power production

      advancements ? Let me look at my crystal ball. .... I predict 1% power gain in panels for sale in the next 10 years, over todays best panels.

        I Didn't know that you can only place it in one spot. It is for a final year school project hope you understand

              Nuke him now and put him out of our misery. He has posted this same thread on a dozen sites and 10 times on this site. Kill it before it grows.

                Duplicate postings of the same thing, annoy everybody. DONT POST anymore links to your survey, or argue with the moderators.
