Solar energy is the energy we harness from the sun’s rays. It can be converted into electricity using solar panels or used to heat water directly.

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through photovoltaic (PV) cells. When sunlight hits these cells, it generates direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in homes and businesses.

• Reduced Energy Bills: Solar panels can significantly lower your electricity costs.
• Environmental Impact: Solar energy is renewable and reduces carbon footprint.
• Increased Property Value: Homes with solar energy systems often have higher property values.
• Energy Independence: Generating your own electricity can protect you from rising utility rates.

The cost of solar panels varies based on factors like system size, type of panels, installation costs, and local incentives. On average, a residential solar system can range from $15,000 to $30,000 before tax credits or rebates.

Yes! Many regions offer tax credits, rebates, and grants to help offset installation costs. In the U.S., the federal solar tax credit allows you to deduct a percentage of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes.

Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years, with warranties often covering 20-25 years. Many systems continue to produce electricity beyond their warranty period, though efficiency may decline.

Solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced capacity. At night, solar systems draw power from the grid unless you have battery storage systems, which can store energy generated during the day for use later.

Generally, solar panels are considered a permanent fixture and are not easily removed. However, many homeowners find that having solar panels increases their home's value, making it an attractive selling point.

Solar batteries store excess energy produced by your solar panels for use when sunlight isn’t available. This can provide backup power during outages and help reduce reliance on the grid.

This depends on several factors, including your location, energy needs, roof condition, and financial situation. A consultation with a solar expert can help you make an informed decision.
