FAQs

How does solar power save me money?

Solar power allows you to generate your own electricity, reducing or eliminating your monthly electric bill. Over time, as utility rates increase, your solar payments stay the same, giving you long-term savings.

Do solar panels work during cloudy or rainy days?

Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, although at a reduced capacity. Solar panels work most efficiently in direct sunlight, but they continue to produce power even in less ideal conditions.

How long do solar panels last?

Most solar panels come with warranties lasting 25-30 years. After that, they can continue to function, though their efficiency may decline slightly. Properly maintained panels can produce power for 40 years or more.

Will solar work if the power grid goes down?

If your solar system includes battery storage, you can use stored energy during grid outages. Otherwise, without batteries, grid-tied systems shut down for safety reasons when the grid is down.
