Solar energy is renewable energy derived from the sun's radiation. Solar panels (photovoltaic cells) convert sunlight directly into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar panels, it creates an electric current that can be used to power your home or business. Excess energy can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid.

The installation timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of your system. Typically, residential installations take 1-3 days, while commercial installations can take 1-2 weeks. This includes site preparation, panel installation, electrical connections, and system testing. We'll provide you with a detailed timeline during the planning phase.

High-quality solar panels typically last 25-30 years or more. Most manufacturers offer 25-year warranties that guarantee the panels will still produce at least 80% of their original capacity after 25 years. With proper maintenance, solar panels can continue to generate electricity for 30-40 years.

Solar panels work best in direct sunlight but can still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced efficiency (typically 10-25% of normal output). They don't generate electricity at night. However, with battery storage systems, you can store excess energy generated during the day to use at night or during cloudy periods.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust, dirt, and debris is the main requirement. We recommend cleaning them 2-4 times per year, depending on your location. We also offer maintenance packages that include cleaning, inspection, and performance monitoring to ensure optimal system performance.

We offer various financing options to make solar energy accessible, including:
  • Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) - Pay only for the energy you use
  • Lease options with low monthly payments
  • Financing partnerships with local banks
  • Flexible payment plans tailored to your budget
Our team will work with you to find the best financing solution for your needs.

Savings depend on several factors including your current electricity usage, system size, and local electricity rates. On average, customers can expect to save 50-90% on their electricity bills. With rising electricity costs, these savings typically increase over time. We provide detailed savings projections during the consultation process.

Standard grid-tied solar systems automatically shut down during power outages for safety reasons. However, with battery storage systems, you can have backup power during outages. Our hybrid systems with battery storage can keep your essential appliances running during power cuts, providing peace of mind and energy independence.
