The installation process typically involves a site assessment, system design, permitting, installation of panels and inverters, and connection to the grid. A professional solar installer will handle each step to ensure a seamless and efficient installation process.

Solar panels are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including hail, wind, and snow. Most manufacturers conduct rigorous testing to ensure their panels meet industry standards for durability and performance.

Yes, solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source that produces no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants during operation, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Installing a solar energy system can lead to significant long-term savings on electricity bills. Additionally, many governments offer incentives such as tax credits and rebates to offset the upfront costs of solar installation.

Most solar panels come with warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years, but they can last much longer with proper maintenance. The degradation rate of solar panels is typically low, with many systems still operating efficiently after 30 years or more.

Solar panels are generally low maintenance, requiring occasional cleaning and inspection to ensure optimal performance. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning them with water and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.

Solar panels still generate some electricity on cloudy days, although at a reduced rate. At night, your home typically draws electricity from the grid as usual, unless you have a solar battery storage system to store excess energy generated during the day.

The size of the solar system you need depends on factors such as your energy usage, roof space, and location. A professional solar installer can assess your needs and recommend the appropriate system size.

Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits these cells, it generates a flow of electrons, creating an electrical current.
