General Questions

What are the main components of a solar system?

A typical system includes solar panels, an inverter, mounting equipment, wiring, and optionally, a battery for energy storage.

How long do solar panels last?

Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with performance warranties typically guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency after 25 years.

Do solar panels work on cloudy days?

Yes. Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though output is reduced compared to sunny conditions.

What is the difference between on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid systems?

• On-grid: Connected to the electricity grid, allowing export and import of power.

• Off-grid: Operates independently with battery storage.

• Hybrid: Combines grid connection with battery storage for flexibility and backup.
