1. How do solar panels work?

Solar panels harness sunlight to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the solar cells within the panels, it creates an electric field, which produces direct current (DC) electricity. This energy is then converted into usable alternating current (AC) electricity by a solar inverter, making it suitable to power your home or business. Solar panels are an efficient, renewable energy source that can significantly reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.

2. What is a solar inverter, and why is it important?

A solar inverter is a critical component of a solar power system. It converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is what most homes and businesses use. Without a solar inverter, the electricity produced by your solar panels would be unusable. Additionally, modern inverters often include features such as system monitoring and grid management, ensuring optimal performance and safety of your solar energy system.

3. What are the differences between monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels?

Monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels are the two most common types of solar panels, each with distinct characteristics.

• Monocrystalline Solar Panels: Made from a single, pure crystal structure, these panels are more efficient at converting sunlight into electricity, especially in low-light conditions. They typically have a longer lifespan and a sleeker appearance, making them a premium choice for those seeking maximum efficiency.
• Polycrystalline Solar Panels: Constructed from multiple silicon crystals, these panels are generally less expensive and have a slightly lower efficiency compared to monocrystalline panels. They are a cost-effective option for those with ample space and a focus on budget over efficiency.

Choosing between the two depends on your energy needs, budget, and available space.

4. How do I choose the right size solar system for my home/business?

Choosing the right size solar system involves several factors, including your energy consumption, roof space, and budget. Start by reviewing your electricity bills to understand your average energy usage. A solar energy professional can help you analyze this data and determine the appropriate system size to meet your needs. Additionally, consider factors like future energy needs, potential expansion, and the specific characteristics of your location, such as sunlight exposure and roof orientation, to ensure optimal system performance.

5. What happens on cloudy days or during the winter?

Solar panels continue to generate electricity even on cloudy days and during the winter, though at reduced efficiency. Cloud cover can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the panels, but they can still produce energy from diffused sunlight. In winter, shorter daylight hours and the angle of the sun may decrease energy production, but cooler temperatures can actually improve solar panel efficiency. To ensure consistent energy supply, many systems are paired with battery storage or remain connected to the grid, allowing you to draw power when solar generation is lower.
