FAQs
What are the benefits of installing solar panels?
Solar panels offer multiple benefits including reduced energy bills, decreased carbon footprint, and increased energy independence. They harness sunlight to generate electricity, which means less reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, many solar installations come with incentives such as tax credits and rebates that can offset initial costs.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels consist of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. This DC power is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it usable for home or business applications. The electricity can power your appliances, and any excess can often be sent back to the grid or stored in a battery.
What is the typical lifespan of a solar panel system?
A quality solar panel system typically has a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. However, many systems can continue to generate electricity beyond this period at a reduced efficiency. Regular maintenance and cleaning can ensure optimal performance throughout the system's life.
Is my property suitable for solar panels?
The suitability of your property for solar panels depends on several factors including roof orientation, size, pitch, shading, and local climate. Ideally, your roof should have a south-facing orientation with minimal shading to ensure maximum sunlight exposure. However, an assessment by a solar professional can better determine suitability.
What is the cost of installing solar panels?
The cost of installing solar panels depends on several factors such as the size of the system, type of panels used, installation complexity, and local labor costs. On average, residential systems can range from $10,000 to $30,000 before incentives. Many financing options, such as solar loans and power purchase agreements, can help manage the investment.
Do solar panels work during cloudy or rainy days?
While solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, albeit at a reduced rate. This is because they can capture diffuse or indirect sunlight. The exact efficiency loss can vary, but typically solar panels can operate at 10-25% of their capacity during these conditions.
