Solar panels are ideal for electric equipment without access the power grid. Being in “the field” can be rough on rigid silicon wafers. Solar panels are extremely effective at collecting and delivering small amounts of current, however, finding the right application is important. If you plan on powering your home with solar panels, you will see that you require a huge panel array and substantial battery capacity to support it. Solar panels are still in their infancy when it comes to use in residential environments. Some of these are remote "off the grid" locations where no regular electric power is available.
