We’ve compiled some of the most common questions our clients ask. If you don’t find your question here, feel free to contact us for more information.
How do solar panels generate electricity?
Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into direct current (DC) power using photovoltaic cells. An inverter then converts this DC power into alternating current (AC) power for use in your home or business.
What is the lifespan of a solar system?
Most solar systems have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with minimal maintenance required during this period.
What is the role of batteries in a solar system?
Batteries store excess energy generated by your solar panels, allowing you to use it during the night or during power outages. This ensures a reliable power supply even when the sun isn’t shining.

How much can I save by switching to solar energy?
Savings depend on your energy usage, location, and system size, but many customers save 50-70% on their energy bills after installing solar panels.
What are the environmental benefits of using solar energy?
Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of power that reduces carbon emissions and decreases dependence on fossil fuels, helping to combat climate change.
What happens if I produce more energy than I use?
