FAQs

A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity. Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells, which capture the energy from the sun and turn it into direct current (DC) electricity.

Installing solar panels on your home or business can help you save money on your electricity bills, reduce your carbon footprint, and increase the value of your property. Solar panels are also a reliable source of energy, providing power even during blackouts or emergencies.

The cost of solar panels can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of the system, the type of panels used, and the location of the installation. In general, a typical residential solar panel system can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000, but there are also various financing options and incentives available to help reduce the upfront cost.

Most solar panels come with a warranty that guarantees they will continue to produce electricity for 25 years or more. However, in reality, solar panels can last much longer than that and continue to produce electricity at a reduced rate for many years beyond the warranty period.

The amount of electricity that solar panels can produce depends on a number of factors, including the size of the system, the efficiency of the panels, and the amount of sunlight available in your location. A typical residential solar panel system can produce anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per year.

Yes, solar panels can still produce electricity on cloudy days, although their output will be reduced compared to sunny days. However, even on cloudy days, solar panels can still generate enough electricity to meet some or all of a household’s energy needs.

It is not necessary to have a battery storage system to use solar panels, but it can be beneficial in certain situations. A battery system can store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during times of high energy demand, which can help reduce reliance on the grid and lower electricity bills.

The first step to installing solar panels is to schedule a consultation with a reputable solar company. The company will evaluate your energy needs, assess the feasibility of a solar panel system on your property, and provide you with a quote for the installation. From there, you can decide whether to move forward with the installation and begin enjoying the benefits of solar power.

It is possible to install solar panels yourself, but it is generally not recommended. Installing solar panels can be dangerous and complicated, and it is important to have a professional install your system to ensure that it is installed correctly and safely.
