This FAQ page is designed to provide you with quick and easy answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our business. If you need more information, please reach out to us.
1.What is renewable energy?
Solar energy is the most abundant of all energy resources and can even be harnessed in cloudy weather.
2. How do solar photovoltaic panels work?
Solar panels absorb the sun’s energy throughout the day and convert it into direct current electricity.
3.Do my solar panels produce power when the sun isn’t shining?
The amount of power your solar energy system can generate is dependent on sunlight. As a result, your solar panels will produce slightly less energy when the weather is cloudy, and no energy at night.
4. Can I go off-grid with solar panels?
When you install solar panels on your property, you will still be connected to the grid. This allows you to draw from the grid when your system is not producing all of the power that you need, and send power back to the grid when you produce more than you use.
5. How much will solar panel maintenance cost?
Solar panel systems are made of durable tempered glass and require little to no maintenance for the 25 to 35 years that they will generate power. Just you will need to clean your solar panels 4 times a year, or more frequently if dust and snow are drastically reducing the power generation.
6․Can I afford to go solar?
If you can afford to pay your electricity bill you can afford to go solar and it is a lot cheaper.
7. Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
Southerly-facing roofs with little to no shade and enough space to fit a solar panel system are ideal for installing solar. However, in many cases, there are workarounds if your home doesn’t have the ideal solar roof – east and west-facing roofs can still produce enough power․
8. What size solar energy system should I get?
The size of your solar energy system will depend on how much electricity you consume monthly, as well as the weather conditions where you live.
9. Do I need to replace my roof before installing solar?
Solar energy systems can last for 25 to 35 years, and it can be costly to remove and reinstall them if you need to replace your roof.
10. Does solar increase the value of my home?
Yes, studies have shown that solar homes sell for 3-5% more than comparable non-solar homes. So, if you want to go solar but aren’t sure whether you’ll stay in your house long enough for the system to pay itself off, you can rest assured that you can recoup most or all of your solar investment when you decide to list your home․
