8 pv panels charge this car in a day

 4 Solar panels on the roof  recharge the 15 batteries on the Mazda
Electric Car if they are only half empty If the Mazda is near empty it
takes all 8 panels al day long to charge. If wind is blowing the wind
charger makes the charging go faster. The other 4 panels power the 110
volt appliances in the house thru an inverter. A 5 HP propane,
Hydrogen hybrid DC generator can be used for a 1 hour quick charge.

Wind makes solar panels work better ?


Not many countries use 110V - not even the USA.

 

If the 8 panels total 8 square meters (generous), then they will intercept
about 5 kWh (solar) each on a sunny day in SW usa. Thats 40 kWh solar. Thats
very generous.
If each panel is 20 percent eff (also generous), then you will generate
about 8 kWhe (electrical) energy total.
8 kWhe equals about 29 MegaJoules. Thats before motor losses, etc.

One gallon of gasoline contains about 135 Megajoules. So you are collecting
about the equivalent of 1/16 of a gallon of gasoline, worth about 25 cents.
