FAQs

Solar energy works by harnessing the power of sunlight through solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. This electricity can then be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices.

Installing solar panels offers numerous benefits. They provide clean and renewable energy, reduce electricity bills, decrease reliance on fossil fuels, and contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. Solar panels also increase property value and may qualify for incentives or tax credits.

Solar panels are designed to be durable and have a typical lifespan of 25 to 30 years or more. With proper maintenance and regular inspections, they can continue to generate electricity beyond their estimated lifespan.

Net metering is a billing arrangement that allows solar panel owners to receive credits for the excess electricity they produce and feed back into the grid. These credits can be used to offset the electricity consumed from the grid during times when solar production is insufficient, such as at night.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust, dirt, or debris is recommended to maximize their efficiency. Additionally, occasional inspections by professionals can help ensure optimal performance and identify any issues that may require attention.

It depends on the type of solar power system you have. Grid-tied systems without battery storage will not provide electricity during a power outage as they are designed to shut down for safety reasons. However, solar plus battery storage systems can provide backup power during outages, ensuring a continuous electricity supply.

Solar panels are suitable for a wide range of homes and businesses. Factors such as roof orientation, available space, shading, and local regulations can influence the suitability of solar installations. A professional solar assessment can help determine the feasibility and design a system tailored to your specific needs.

The cost of a solar installation varies depending on factors such as system size, equipment quality, installation complexity, and location. However, the overall cost has significantly decreased over the years. Financing options, such as solar loans and leasing, are also available to make solar installations more affordable.
