FAQ
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. When sunlight hits the panels, it generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into usable alternating current (AC) by an inverter.
- Lower electricity bills: Reduce or eliminate your energy costs.
- Environmentally friendly: Decrease your carbon footprint by using clean energy.
- Energy independence: Reduce reliance on the grid.
- Increase property value: Homes with solar systems often sell at higher prices.
Your savings depend on your location, energy usage, and system size. On average, homeowners save thousands of dollars over the system’s lifetime by reducing or eliminating energy bills.
Solar panels typically last 25–30 years. Most come with a performance warranty guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency at the end of 25 years.
Yes, many financing options are available, including solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs). These options make it affordable to switch to solar with little or no upfront cost.
Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced efficiency. Excess energy generated on sunny days can be stored in batteries or sent to the grid for credits, helping to balance cloudy day usage.
