FAQ Section
Will solar panels work on cloudy days?
Yes! While solar panels produce more energy in direct sunlight, they still generate power on cloudy or rainy days, just at a lower efficiency.
How much can I save by switching to solar?
Savings vary based on location, energy consumption, and system size, but many homeowners reduce their electricity bills by 80% to 90%. Some even earn money by selling excess power back to the grid!
What is net metering?
Net metering allows you to send excess solar energy back to the grid in exchange for credits. These credits offset your energy costs when your solar panels aren’t producing electricity, like at night.
Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?
No! Solar panels are low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning and an annual inspection ensure optimal performance. Most panels come with a 25-year warranty.
Can I install solar panels on any type of roof?
Most roof types are suitable for solar, including asphalt shingles, metal, and tile. However, roof condition, angle, and shading affect efficiency. A professional assessment can determine the best setup.
What happens during a power outage?
If you're connected to the grid without battery storage, your solar system will shut off for safety reasons. However, with a battery backup, you can continue to power essential appliances.
Is solar energy really environmentally friendly?
Absolutely! Solar energy is clean, renewable, and reduces carbon emissions. It helps combat climate change while lowering dependence on fossil fuels.
How do I get started with solar?
Simple! Contact us for a free consultation. We’ll assess your energy needs, provide a custom solar plan, and guide you through the installation process.
Do I need a battery storage system with my solar panels?
No, but a battery system allows you to store excess energy for nighttime use or power outages. It increases energy independence and maximizes savings.
What’s the difference between grid-tied and off-grid solar systems?
Grid-tied: Connected to the power grid, allowing you to use and sell electricity.
Off-grid: Independent, requiring batteries to store energy since you’re not connected to the grid.
