Common Solar Questions
How do solar systems work?
A home solar setup is like a quiet, sun-powered engine running right on your roof. It is made up of a few key parts working together seamlessly: solar panels, an inverter, a monitoring system, and a utility net meter. The panels capture sunlight and transform it into direct current electricity, the inverter converts it into the alternating current your home uses, the monitoring system tracks production and consumption in real time, and any extra energy flows back into the grid through net metering.
What is the average longevity of solar panels?
Solar panels are designed to last for decades, with most systems continuing to perform effectively for 25 to 30 years or more. With consistent cleaning and proper maintenance, their efficiency can be maintained over time, helping you get the most value from your investment for many years.
Can solar panels survive adverse weather conditions?
Solar panels are built to handle tough weather conditions, particularly when sourced from trusted manufacturers. We use top-tier panels that have been rigorously tested to endure heavy storms and continue performing without damage.
Can I afford solar panels?
If you are already paying an electricity bill, solar may be more within reach than you think. For homeowners concerned about upfront costs, leasing options can make it possible to get started with no money down, and in many cases a monthly solar payment can be structured to be lower than the current electricity bill.
