As the object is moved in front of the Pixy, the data stream will print out the x and y coordinates, along with the object height and name. You can capture the data to a text file using standard Linux command-line redirection. For example: sudo ./hello_pixy > data.txt. A portion of the output I captured from the Pixy is shown in Listing 2.
Solar panels typically last between 20 to 30 years with many producing energy beyond that timespan. Lavrova notes that many systems installed as early as the 1970s are still producing power, albeit a little less than when they were brand new.
A single panel only produces a limited amount of power, but when used as part of a larger system, solar panels can generate and supply enough energy to power a home or commercial building, particularly -- of course -- if you live in a sunny area. Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 20 to 25 years.
