Solar energy is harnessed from the sun and converted into electricity using solar panels. The panels absorb sunlight, which is then transformed into usable energy for homes or businesses.

The cost varies based on the size of the system, energy requirements, and installation factors. However, solar energy can offer significant savings over time.

The installation timeline can range from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the system.

Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, but their efficiency will be lower than on sunny days.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. They should be cleaned occasionally to ensure optimal performance and checked periodically for any technical issues.

Most solar panels last for 25-30 years with proper maintenance.

Yes, homes with solar panels typically have a higher property value due to the long-term energy savings they provide.

Yes, with the addition of batteries to store excess power, you can create an off-grid solar energy system.

Savings depend on the size of the system, your location, and energy consumption. On average, homeowners can save 50-70% on their energy bills.

Yes, many countries offer tax credits, rebates, or incentives to make solar energy more affordable.

Net metering allows you to send excess solar energy back to the grid, which can earn you credits on your energy bill.

Most solar panels are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including heavy rain, hail, and snow.

Unless your system includes battery storage, your solar panels will not supply electricity during a power outage for safety reasons.

Yes, solar panels work during the winter, though shorter daylight hours may result in reduced energy production.

Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of power that reduces reliance on fossil fuels and decreases greenhouse gas emissions.

Solar panels can be installed on most roofs. However, the roof’s orientation, shading, and condition must be evaluated for optimal performance.

Yes, many solar companies offer financing options that make it easier to afford solar installation.

Your system size depends on your energy usage, the size of your roof, and your budget. A professional assessment can help you determine the right size.

In most cases, solar panels are covered under your standard homeowners’ insurance, but it’s a good idea to check with your provider.

Yes, you can add more panels to your system if your energy needs increase, though it’s essential to check if your inverter and other equipment can support the expansion.

Most solar panels come with a warranty of 20-25 years, covering defects and performance guarantees.
