Why is it worth switching to solar?
There are many reasons to switch. The cost savings are substantial, equalling tens of thousands of dollars over time. In addition, solar panels can add value to your property, making them an asset rather than just an expense. Solar power is also environmentally responsible. Instead of relying on a power grid that increases the carbon footprint, you'll be using the completely clean and renewable energy of the sun!
-
Can renters get solar?
Yes, renters can benefit from solar energy. Although renters may not have the ability to install a solar energy system directly on the property they are renting, they can still access solar through alternative arrangements such as community solar, Solar Power Purchase Agreements, and portable solar systems.

Can solar panels be installed on an old roof?
Before proceeding with any solar panel installation, it's recommended to consult with a professional solar installer who can assess your roof's suitability and provide expert advice based on it's condition. They will be able to evaluate factors such as structural integrity, shading, and overall viability of installing solar panels on your specific roof.
-
What kinds of solar panels are available?
There are several types of solar panels available in the market today. The most common types include monocrystalline panels, polycrystalline, thin-film panels, bifacial solar panels, and BIPV panels. It's important to note that the availability and suitability of different types of solar panels may vary. Consulting with a professional can help you determine the best type of solar panels for your specific needs.
-
What makes solar panels work?
When solar panels are exposed to sunlight, the photons from the sunlight knock electrons loose from their atoms in the solar cells, generating a flow of electrons and creating direct current electricity. This DC electricity can be used directly for specific applications or converted into alternating current electricity using an inverter for use in homes, businesses, or the electrical grid.
-
Will a solar system be cheaper in the future?
While it's difficult to predict the exact future of solar systems, industry experts and analysts anticipate the overall trend of decreasing costs will continue. This can make solar energy more accessible and financially viable for a broader range of consumers and businesses.
-
Are there incentives to using solar panels?
Yes, there are various incentives and financial benefits available to encourage the use of solar panels. These incentives can vary by country, state, and even local utility programs. Some common types of incentives include government tax credits and rebates, net metering, solar renewable energy certificates, and grants and incentive programs.
-
What's the lifespan of solar panels?
The average lifespan of solar panels is typically estimated to be around 25 to 30 years. However, it's important to note that this estimate is based on the general performance degradation over time and may vary depending on various factors.
