Main advantages -

Renewable - They come from a continually flowing source (while you could argue...

I am investigating using solar panels to provide some power at home, in Corpus Christi, Texas but there is little practical information available. Is there a book, course or, better still, someone in the area that has first hand information?

A good place to start is the Department of Energy's EERE website.
They have short basic guides on all types of energy projects for the home including small solar installations.

1) What would be the final temperature of 100 g of 19°C water when 101 g of 40°C iron nails are submerged in it? (The specific heat of iron is 0.12 cal/g °C. Here you should equate the heat gained by the water to the heat lost by the nails.) _____

1. Heat lost (by the nails) = heat gained.(by the water)
If no phase changes are involved, and assuming a heat capacity independent of temperature - a reasonable approximation for small changes in temperature and back-of-the-envelope...
