Frequently asked questions
1. Do solar panels work with electricity?
Yes, solar panels work alongside your regular electricity to power your home. During the day, your solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, which your household can use right away. If there’s not enough sunlight – say it’s cloudy or nighttime – your home will automatically switch to using electricity from the grid. It’s a seamless setup, so you get the benefits of solar energy when it’s available and reliable grid power whenever you need it.
2. Can I use both solar and electricity?
Definitely! Most homes with solar are set up to use both solar power and grid electricity. When your panels make more power than you need, the extra goes back to the grid, which might even earn you some credits on your electricity bill. If you need a bit more energy than your panels are making, you’ll automatically draw from the grid. It’s a flexible system that gives you reliable power around the clock.
3. How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels are built to last, with most coming with a 25 to 30-year warranty on performance. And with a bit of care – like keeping them clean and clear of debris – they can keep producing electricity well past that. Over time, they might lose a little efficiency, but they’re still going to be a great source of power for many years. Regular maintenance can really help them stay in top shape for as long as possible.
4. What are 5 advantages of solar energy?
- Lower electricity bills – Solar power can save you a lot on your energy bills over time.
- Eco-friendly – Solar energy is clean and renewable, helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
- Energy independence – Producing your own power reduces how much you rely on the grid.
- Increased home value – Homes with solar systems can be more attractive to buyers.
- Minimal maintenance – Solar panels need very little upkeep to keep running efficiently.
