Top Questions Customers Ask Us
What is a solar panel?
A solar panel converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. It helps reduce electricity bills and provides clean, renewable energy for homes and businesses.
How much can I save with a rooftop solar system?
A rooftop solar system can reduce electricity bills by up to 70% to 90%, depending on your energy usage, system size, and local sunlight conditions.
Which solar system is best for home use?
The best solar system depends on your electricity consumption. On-grid systems are ideal for areas with reliable electricity, while hybrid systems provide battery backup during power cuts.
What is the difference between on-grid and off-grid solar systems?
An on-grid solar system works with the electricity grid, while an off-grid system operates independently using batteries for energy storage.
What is a hybrid solar system?
A hybrid solar system combines the advantages of on-grid and off-grid systems by using both the electricity grid and battery storage.
How long do solar panels last?
High-quality solar panels typically last 25 to 30 years while maintaining excellent performance with minimal maintenance.
Do solar panels work during cloudy weather?
Yes. Solar panels continue generating electricity during cloudy weather, although output may be lower compared to sunny days.
Can solar panels work during power cuts?
Standard on-grid systems automatically shut down during power cuts for safety. Hybrid and off-grid systems with batteries continue supplying backup power.
How many solar panels are required for a 5kW system?
A typical 5kW solar system requires approximately 10 to 12 high-efficiency solar panels depending on their wattage.
What maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar panels require occasional cleaning to remove dust, leaves, and bird droppings. Regular inspections ensure maximum efficiency.
