Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic cells, which generate direct current (DC) electricity when exposed to sunlight. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used to power homes and businesses.
Solar panels can help reduce electricity bills, decrease reliance on fossil fuels, lower carbon emissions, increase property value, and provide energy independence. Additionally, many governments offer incentives such as tax credits and rebates to encourage solar adoption.
Solar panels can be installed in most locations, but the amount of sunlight they receive can vary based on factors such as geographic location, roof orientation, shading, and local weather patterns. A solar installer can conduct a site assessment to determine the feasibility and potential energy production of a solar installation.
The cost of solar panels depends on various factors, including system size, quality of equipment, installation complexity, and local market conditions. Prices have decreased significantly in recent years, and financing options such as solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs) make solar more accessible to homeowners and businesses
Most solar panels come with warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years, but they can last much longer with proper maintenance. The performance of solar panels typically degrades gradually over time, with average degradation rates of around 0.5% to 1% per year.
It's recommended to assess the condition of your roof before installing solar panels, as they typically last 25 years or more. In most cases no replacement is required and further beautification for additional purposes can be done. In some cases, it may be more cost-effective to replace it before installing solar panels to avoid the additional cost and inconvenience of removing and reinstalling the solar array.
A reputable solar installer can help navigate the permitting process and ensure compliance with all regulations.
The amount of space required for a solar installation depends on factors such as system size, panel efficiency, and available sunlight. Typically, solar panels require about 100 to 200 square feet of unobstructed roof space per kilowatt of installed capacity.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, typically limited to periodic cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris that can reduce energy production. Additionally, it's important to monitor the system's performance regularly and address any issues promptly.
It's recommended to hire a professional solar installer with experience and expertise in designing and installing solar systems. Professional installers ensure proper system sizing, equipment selection, permitting, and installation to maximize energy production and safety.
