Clear answers to the most common solar-related questions from homeowners, businesses, and facility operators.
Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Inverters then convert DC to alternating current (AC), which powers the building or feeds the grid.
Yes. Solar offsets daytime energy use and can significantly lower monthly utility costs. The level of savings depends on system size and local rates.
Batteries are optional. A standard grid-tied system works without storage, while batteries enable backup power and night-time usage.
Most panels are designed for 25+ years of performance with minimal maintenance, and warranties typically cover that timeframe.
Maintenance is minimal. Occasional cleaning, inspections, and inverter checks ensure maximum performance over the system’s lifetime.
