By Paulina Kruse Solar Panel and the Volt Is this possible? Volt

Chevy Volt Electric plug in car 1 full charge = 35 miles Up to100 mph With full tank of gas 375 miles Lowest price is $39,145 Tax rebate ranges from $0- $7,500 In Colorado, it is $6,500

Battery Charging in a household plug takes 10 hours Charging with a charge station takes 4 hours Installation at a home costs $300- $1,900 Estimated full battery costs $1.50 per day

How solar panel works Solar Panel Efficiency Solar Panels convert 11-15% of Light Energy To electricity. For our Calculation we’ll use 12% Efficiency.

Estimating Solar Panel output Not consistent Area Climate Season Different type of panels U.S. potential solar energy map

What is a kWh? Watt- Unit of power - Joule/Second Kilo watt hour A unit of energy 3,600,000 Joules = 60 sec/min*60 min/hour * 1000 U.S. Solar output map in kWh

How much area of solar panels using current technology would it take to produce enough electricity to drive a GM Volt 70 miles a day? Denver gets 6 kWh/m²/day Volt battery holds 12.8 kWh of energy Range of Volt fully charged is 35 miles Energy needed to go 70 miles is 2*12.8 kWh = 25.6 kWh Solar Panel Area Needed is: Total Energy = Light Energy * Area of Panel * Efficiency of Panel 25.6 kWh = 6 kWh/m2 * X Meter2 *.12 X = 35.5 sq Meters of Solar Panel Roughly 20 feet by 20 feet.

General Costs Volt = $40,000 Volt = 40,000 Charging station= $300 to $2,000 Time= 4 hour charge Time= 10 hour charge Solar panel = ? Solar panel = ? 1 sunny day
