Solar Panels in Modesto, CA<\/p><\/div>\n

How much improvement do we get from Cleaning Solar Panels, in Modesto, CA?<\/h3>\n

Let’s see, here’s a graph from the day before cleaning to the day after cleaning:
\n(May 7, 2013)<\/p>\n

\"washed<\/a>

You see a nice difference between these two days, but perhaps it might be unfair it might have been a cloudy day before cleaning.<\/p><\/div>\n

So let’s take a look at several days before and several days after cleaning of the solar panels<\/h3>\n

This is a graph showing 4 days before and 4 days after<\/p>\n

\"energy<\/a>

Four days before cleaning and 4 days after cleaning<\/p><\/div>\n

Dirty vs. Clean Solar Panels. \u00a04 days before and 4 days after washing. There is a 26.7% difference in my case here with washing!!\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

But I think there’s a better way to measure, taking the two best days<\/strong> of the 4 days before and the two best days of the 4 days afterwards, the difference comes out to 13.3% difference.<\/strong> I think two days before washing the solar panels, the skies were a bit cloudy. My conclusion so far is that washing the solar panels will increase output by 10% or more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How much electricity does my solar panels produce in one day?<\/h3>\n

Let’s take one day in the solar energy\/electricity graph above. \u00a0Thursday, May 9th. \u00a0They produced 61.3 kWh’s of electricity.<\/p>\n

Let’s see 61.3 kWh’s = 61,300 watts hours so in terms of 100 watt light bulbs, you could run 613 of them for 1 hour. How does that sound?? Or I did another calculation… You could drive a TESLA\u00a0electric sports car at 55 miles per hour for about 240 miles with that kind of electricity. Or if I did the calculation properly, you could run a 1200 watt hair dryer for 51 hours. \u00a0Disclaimer: \u00a0My calculations are approximate, not exact. \u00a0Plus I don’t do calculations like this professionally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think it’s worthwhile to have the extra 10%+ of electricity especially on the higher producing electricity days.<\/p>\n

How is this relevant to Plastic Surgery \/ Cosmetic Surgery<\/a><\/h3>\n

This very important to plastic surgery! \u00a0We use energy based devices such as lasers for aesthetic purposes. \u00a0Understanding power, electricity, kWh, Joules, are all important aspects of understanding how to work with lasers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
