Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is solar energy?

    Solar energy is a renewable energy source that is generated from the sun's rays. It can be harnessed using solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity. The energy produced by solar panels can be used to power homes, businesses, and even entire cities.

  • Solar panels work by using photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. When sunlight hits the cells in a solar panel, it knocks electrons free from their atoms. These electrons are then captured by a series of conductive materials within the panel, which generate an electrical current. An inverter then converts the DC electricity into AC electricity that can be used to power your home or business.

  • Solar energy has many benefits, including: Cost savings: By using solar energy, you can significantly reduce your electricity bill and save money over the lifetime of your solar panel system. Energy independence: Solar energy can provide you with energy independence, allowing you to generate your own power and reduce your reliance on the grid. Environmental benefits: Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source that produces no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollution. Increased home value: Installing a solar panel system can increase the value of your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

  • Most solar panels are designed to last for 25-30 years or more. They require very little maintenance and can continue to produce electricity even in cloudy or overcast weather. Some solar panel manufacturers even offer warranties for up to 25 years.

  • The amount of money you can save with solar panels depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your solar panel system, your electricity usage, and your local electricity rates. However, many homeowners and businesses save thousands of dollars on their electricity bills over the lifetime of their solar panel system. In addition, some states and utilities offer incentives or net metering programs that can further reduce your energy costs.

  • Solar and battery storage is a system that combines solar panels with battery storage technology to store excess energy generated by the solar panels. The stored energy can then be used when the sun is not shining or during a power outage, reducing your reliance on the grid and providing energy independence.

  • Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, which is stored in a battery system for later use. When the sun is not shining or during a power outage, the battery system provides power to your home or business. An inverter is used to convert the DC electricity from the solar panels and battery into AC electricity that can be used to power your home or business.

  • Solar and battery storage has many benefits, including: Energy independence: Solar and battery storage allows you to generate and store your own power, reducing your reliance on the grid. Cost savings: By using stored solar energy, you can significantly reduce your electricity bill and save money over the lifetime of your solar and battery storage system. Increased reliability: With battery storage, you can have power during a power outage, ensuring that critical systems in your home or business stay operational. Environmental benefits: Solar and battery storage is a clean, renewable energy source that produces no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollution.

  • No, solar panels are not required to use battery storage. However, solar panels are often used in conjunction with battery storage to generate and store solar energy.

  • Most battery storage systems are designed to last for 10-15 years or more. The lifespan of a battery system depends on the type of battery, the usage pattern, and the quality of the equipment.

  • The amount of money you can save with solar and battery storage depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your system, your electricity usage, and your local electricity rates. However, many homeowners and businesses save thousands of dollars on their electricity bills over the lifetime of their solar and battery storage system. In addition, some states and utilities offer incentives or net metering programs that can further reduce your energy costs.

  • Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used batteries in solar and battery storage systems due to their high energy density, long lifespan, and low maintenance requirements. Other types of batteries, such as lead-acid and flow batteries, may also be used depending on the application.

  • It is not recommended to install a solar and battery storage system yourself, as it requires specialized knowledge and equipment. It is best to hire a professional solar installer to ensure that the system is installed safely and correctly.

  • cost of a solar and battery storage system depends on the size of the system, the quality of the equipment, and the complexity of the installation. However, many homeowners and businesses can recoup the cost of their solar and battery storage system through energy savings within a few years of installation.
