How Solar Panels Work
How do they work? Solar panels generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect, where sunlight knocks electrons loose from atoms in semiconducting cells, creating an electrical current. This direct current (DC) is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in homes and businesses.
Do they need direct sunlight? No, they only need some level of daylight to generate electricity, though less sunlight means less power.
What about cloudy days or rain? Panels still produce electricity, but less than on a sunny day.
What about night or power outages? Grid-tied systems don't provide power during outages unless paired with a battery backup system.
Cost, Financing, and Incentives
How much do they cost? Costs vary depending on system size, location, and financing options, with incentives helping to offset the expense.
What financing is available? Options include cash purchases, loans, or leases to help make solar accessible.
What are the financial benefits? Solar can lock in energy costs, potentially saving money, and help offset carbon emissions.
What incentives are there? Federal tax credits and state or local programs can reduce the cost of a system.
Installation and System Components
Is my home suitable? Your home's suitability depends on factors like roof orientation, space, and potential shading.
What size system do I need? The appropriate system size is based on your energy consumption, available roof space, and future plans.
What happens with extra energy? Many areas have net metering policies, where your utility credits you for excess energy sent to the grid.
What equipment is involved? A photovoltaic (PV) system includes solar panels and an inverter to convert DC electricity to usable AC power.
Performance and Maintenance
How long do solar panels last? The lifespan varies by system and environment but often exceeds 25 years.
What maintenance is required? Panels generally require little maintenance, such as bi-annual cleanings along with proactive care can maximize performance.
How do I monitor performance? You can monitor your system's performance using software or a monitoring system provided by your installer.
