Frequently Asked Questions

A solar panel is a device that uses photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. It is typically made of silicon, and it produces DC (direct current) electricity.

A battery storage system is a device that stores electricity generated by solar panels or other renewable energy sources. It allows homeowners to use the stored electricity during times when there is no sun, and in some cases, during a power outage.

There are several benefits to installing solar panels and a battery storage system. It can significantly reduce your energy bills, help you become more energy independent, and reduce your carbon footprint.

The cost of solar panels and a battery storage system varies depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation. However, in some areas, there are government incentives and tax credits that can help offset the cost.

The installation time varies depending on the size of the system and the complexity of the installation. However, most installations can be completed within a couple of days.

While south-facing roofs are ideal for solar panel installations, other orientations can also work. A professional installer can evaluate your home and determine the best location for your solar panels.

Some systems can work during a power outage, but it depends on the specifications of the system. If you do not have a battery storage system, your solar panels will not work during a power outage.

Solar panels typically last for 25 to 30 years, while battery storage systems can last up to 15 years or longer with proper maintenance.

Solar panels and battery storage systems require minimal maintenance. It is recommended to clean the solar panels once or twice a year and have the battery storage system serviced regularly by a professional.

The amount of energy produced by solar panels and a battery storage system depends on the size of the system and the amount of sunlight received. A professional installer can help determine the size of the system you need based on your energy usage and location.
