How many solar panels does it take to run an A/C unit? Also, How many batteries in an array?

I was wondering how many 700 W solar panels it would take to run a household A/C unit. Also curious how many batteries it would take to keep A/C running in inhospitable environments. Would a 3500 W inverter be enough if it were to run 220 AC?
Here we are doing the math [...]

15-Year-Old Outsmarts U.N. Climate Panel, Predicts End of Australia's Drought?

15-Year-Old Outsmarts U.N. Climate Panel, Predicts End of Australia's Drought
Last week, NewsBusters readers were introduced to Portland, Maine’s fabulous fifteen-year-old, Kristen Byrnes, whose website “Ponder the Maunder” marvelously takes on anthropogenic global warming myths including those being advanced by soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore.
As will be revealed post haste, this newest – and likely youngest – member [...]

How many KwH or volts would this equal?

I have a .04% model house that needs .94 kwh. I’m using a digital multi-meter to track how much the photovoltaic solar panels get, but the multimeter reads out in volts or amps.
Soo my question is, how many volts OR amps, or hopefully both, does .94 kilowatts per hour equal? Please help, I really [...]

Advanced Photovoltaic Solar Power Films, The Next Generation

http://www.homemadepowerplant.com/?hop=adonpub A remarkable, new company, Konarka, a solar energy company based in Lowell, Massachusetts, is developing and producing organic thin-film solar photovoltaic films. These photovoltaic films are being printed on an adapted label maker machine. The process is much more cost effect than the traditional method of manufacturing crystalline photovoltaics. Start looking for the cost [...]

Location of data for use of mirrors with solar panels to increase efficiency?

Does anyone know the location of data or charts referring to efficiency increases with a solar panel when a mirror is used with it? Tracking or otherwise?
Warning:
Your panels waranty will be canceled!!!
