Q&A
How long do solar panels typically last?
Solar panels are built to last, typically around 25 to 30 years, with most manufacturers offering warranties to ensure performance over time.
Can solar panels withstand harsh weather conditions?
Yes! Solar panels are designed to endure extreme weather conditions like rain, snow, and high winds. They are thoroughly tested for durability, so you can rely on them in all types of weather.
Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?
Solar panels are low-maintenance. Occasional cleaning to remove dirt or debris and ensuring there’s no obstruction to the sunlight is usually enough to keep them working efficiently.
Will solar panels work during a power outage?
Solar panels alone don’t provide power during an outage unless paired with a battery storage system. With a battery, you can store energy and keep your home powered even when the grid goes down.
