HOW IT'S MADE: Solar Panels

[@dtemp132]

Good script but the visual rarely matched up with what was being talked about.

This is NOT - How it´s Made

[@bobjeff6496]

I thought they would hire a commentator just like the one from the 2000 to 2012 how it’s made but no we get duped content.

This panel can put out close to 100 watts kzbin.infoUgkxOqI2yqX0XVrhR2BMJciTWrHJpG8FhJyg when positioned in the appropriate southernly direction, tilted to the optimal angle for your latitude/date, and connected to a higher capacity device than a 500. The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

to fast. the narrator is in some sort of hurry and there are no graphics to represent what that person is saying. it feels like he is just reading an article of internet

Not really a how it's made, just a guy rambling in a monotone voice with stock footage...

"Naturally occurring quartz crystals of extremely high purity, necessary for the crucibles and other equipment used for growing silicon wagers in the semiconductor industry, are expensive and rare."

[@sloandanielmedia]

Are there mfg in the USA not companies putting parts together but actually making them that you know of ? I’m in the industry of thin film but I’m trying to collect data

[@I_Like_Turtles441]

Rn solar panels could destroy the environment because companies keep convincing their customers to upgrade to more efficient panels. Leading to an increased waste of panels.

[@BrianOngacho]

Very informative. Had a couple of questions though 1. Mixed with Carbon? What's the source of carbon? 2. What's the source of the energy that brings the mixture to 2000°c? 3. Ingots. What's the source of boron, and what's the process of having it to the required quality in order to mix it with silicon/phosphorus? 4. Tampered glass. What's required to come up with the ethylene vinyl acetate? 5. Framing and sealant: what materials are used for framing and what's the process of producing them? 6. After how long does it take for a complete solar panel sold to the market, start having dead cells? Or what factors would contribute to the cells producing low power? 7. How many times will I have to replace the energy storage units (batteries) within the 25yrs? On average how much would that cost? How do we dispose the panels (and batteries) after the 25yrs? We could be hyping solar panels and ignoring the fact that the process of producing them could be contributing more to the global warming than the benefit that come with it. Not an expert opinion, just a thought, I stand to be guided

Over the course of 25 years, a 14lb, 100w solar panel will produce approximately ~9000kwh during its 25 year warranty. Additionally, most solar panels continue to work beyond that lifetime, as most solar panels are rated for 0.5% loss of efficiency per year. In comparison, petroleum liquids produce approximately 12.86kwh/ gallon. Coal produces 0.9kwh/ pound. Combine this with the fact that silicon is one of the most abundant elements on the planet, and that the energy required to heat and purify the silicon can come from solar panels, AND the fact that the wafers can be recycled, whereas fossil fuels cannot, it makes sense that solar is much better for the environment.

[@cjod33]

Answer your question 1: coal They always seem to leave that part out. I wonder why?

[@cjod33]

This video mentions the source of carbon at about 2:20in kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4TKnqNnlrqdpKM

Use biogas from sewers like the good ol days

[@ffjsb]

@@justryingmybest Solar panels don't produce energy at night, and you'd be lucky to get 25 years out of a panel...

[@saltybuckeye]

so steam engines are more efficient? seems like we're going backwards not forwards

[@alittlehouseinlancashire6347]

Why the unnecessary and distracting background music? It's awful, if spoils the video. Have confidence in your content, you spoil it with inappropriate music. I'm off.

[@arunkv108]

Bro.. Even you don't understand how its made ??

[@kwanelegamede7826]

The video is not aligned with the actual content

[@DutchBikeGuy]

Horrible video using stock content

Is Coal Used To Make Solar Panels? Yes, coal is used in the production of solar panels, and it is used as a raw material to produce the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. The main chemical used during this process is polyvinyl chloride (PVCs) which is very hazardous and poisonous. The use of such materials will increase pollution levels worldwide, leading to global warming. It will also release toxic materials if it is burnt or not disposed of correctly. The raw material for the solar panels is coal, which has an average life of 11 years. This means that 11 tons of coal must be burned to make a solar panel - that’s about 3000 pounds! The production process uses high temperatures and pressures. Look into things, these videos leave out the bad stuff, only tell you the good.

[@preptimeteachers6460]

I wish they would be open and honest. When the makers of these videos hide stuff, it makes it harder for me to trust their agenda.

[@gr7485]

An interesting process but thumbs down for not syncing the story with what is presented on the screen.

[@christophersnedeker]

Technically we use all of the suns energy because we depend on the sun to keep the earth warm.

[@paulgrl5227]

We receive in *one day* 25 times more energy than we consume in *one year* *

Where is the silver in this process?

What is a making cost of 1plate

[@TheDustyShed]

Made with silicon mixed with carbon. Interesting that it wasn't mentioned that source of carbon is coal.

[@maramma4780]

Okay and? Some coal is used in production and it results in less coal being burnt in the long term, crazy huh

[@TheDustyShed]

@@maramma4780 You assume the solar cells provide more energy output than what went into producing them.

[@0witw047]

@@TheDustyShed they do, in a relatively short amount of time.

[@ashleyklinder7961]

[@Bigdaddyslasher]

They can't be made without oil and gas products.

Do it over with a professional communications specialist. Voice quality is poor and with terrible pitch and modulation with a distracting monotone.

[@archo0518]

when they say the are mixing carbon with the sand do they mean coal?

[@freeamerican105]

Yes

[@williampatrickwoods]

Very good video! Commenting for the algorithm. Keep up the good work!

[@neonn9674]

Now lets talk about its power storage?
