is it possible to power a home PC on solar power only?

Question

just curious

Answer 1

You could power anything by solar power if only you had to 'know how'...

Answer 2

Hello,

a typical full desktop PC today, consumes about 500 Watts. Solar cells produce DC voltage, with a relatively small loadability (that is, you can only connect things that require small currents -> small things). 500 Watts is a medium-class consumer in the range of household appliances.
To produce this power, you need *huge* (couple of square metres) solar cells. Another thing to consider is, that the power of sunlight is varying according to daytime and wheater or season of the year. Of course at nights you are in trouble, too :D

To answer your question: it is possible to use solar power only. You should charge batteries with the solar cell (you need a boost converter that converts the solar cell voltage into charging voltage), and you need a voltage inverter that makes AC from DC voltage to supply the desktop PC.During nights, if you had enough power to charge batteries and supply the PC, the reserves you have in your batteries can be used to supply the PC in the evening.

So it's possible, but you don't want that :D :D :D
But not bad for idea.

Regards

Answer 3

yes, a friend of mine has only solar and uses both a desktop and a laptop. However, he has a large solar system; a small system may not be able to handle it.

Answer 4

Yes,
12 volt system
Panels keep auto batteries fresh,use an "inverter" use the 120 AC
to power your confuser.

Have fun!

Answer 6

it depends on how much solar power you can gather.
but yes if you can get enough

Answer 7

you need to choose a pair of kinds of photo voltaic. photo voltaic water heating is a tremendous thanks to make warm water rapidly from the solar, fairly than making electricity and making use of that for warmth. With adequate storage, you could save the warm temperature in a tremendous tank and use that warmth on your radiant flooring even on cloudy days and evening time. then you somewhat can use photo voltaic panels to fee batteries to ability something of the homestead equipment that run on electricity day and evening. do not get me incorrect, at the same time as that is conceivable, it will be very expensive to do it without reducing lower back on your utilization. commonly those who bypass off grid, they decrease lower back their utilization to make it better low-fee.

Answer 8

It is, put you would have to have enough constant power supplying rj

Answer 9

heck yeah, it all depends on how much money you may have. you can power your house nowadays.

Answer 10

yes
