Frequently Asked Questions
Solar energy is the process of converting sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic panels.
Solar panels capture sunlight and convert this energy into electricity through semiconductor materials.
Generally, the south direction is the most beneficial for solar gain, although this can vary by location.
Installation costs vary based on the size of the system and location, but they provide long-term electricity savings.
Yes, solar energy is a much cleaner energy source compared to fossil fuels and reduces carbon emissions.
Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years.
Solar panel systems require low maintenance, but it is recommended that they be regularly cleaned and inspected.
If the system is equipped with batteries, it can still provide electricity during outages.
The solar energy system produces the electricity needed for the home, and any excess can be sold back to the grid, saving on electricity bills.
Solar panels can produce energy even in cloudy and rainy weather, although they are most efficient in sunny conditions.
Efficiency is measured by how much of the sunlight received by the panels can be converted into electricity.
Yes, solar panels can produce energy even in low light conditions, though the highest efficiency is achieved during the summer months.
