Frequently Asked Questions
Solar Energy
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar panels, it creates an electric field across layers of silicon cells, generating direct current (DC) electricity. This DC electricity is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it usable in your home.
Savings vary depending on factors like your current electricity usage, local utility rates, and system size. On average, homeowners can save between 40-70% on their electricity bills. We provide detailed savings estimates during your consultation.
Most solar panels are warrantied for 25 years and can last even longer. Their efficiency typically decreases by only about 0.5% per year, meaning they'll still produce about 87.5% of their original output after 25 years.
Standard grid-tied solar systems will shut off during power outages for safety reasons. However, if you add battery storage to your system, you can continue to power essential appliances during outages.
