What is a solar PV system?

A solar photovoltaic (PV) system converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels. These systems can be installed on roofs or ground-mounted and provide clean, renewable energy for your home or business.

What are the financial benefits of solar energy?

Investing in solar energy can lead to significant savings on your electricity bills. Additionally, depending on your location, you may be eligible for government incentives, tax credits, and rebates that can further reduce the upfront costs.

What happens if my solar system produces more energy than I use?

If your solar system generates excess energy, it can be fed back into the grid. In many regions, you may receive credits or payment for this energy through net metering, which can further offset your electricity costs.

We offer various financing options, including outright purchase, loans, and leasing arrangements.

Will my solar system work during cloudy days or at night?

Yes, solar panels generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced capacity. Since they don’t work at night, many systems include battery storage to store excess energy for nighttime use.

Is solar energy suitable for my property?

Most properties can benefit from solar energy, but some factors influence suitability, including roof orientation, shading, and local regulations. Our team will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the best options for your specific situation.

What is the lifespan of a solar PV system?

Solar PV systems typically last 25-30 years, with inverters needing replacement after 10-15 years. With proper care, they can provide energy for decades. Our team is here to support you with maintenance and upgrades to keep your system running efficiently!

How long does the installation take?

The duration of the installation varies depending on the size and complexity of the system. Generally, residential installations can take 1-3 days, while larger commercial systems may take longer.

How do I maintain my solar PV system?

Solar PV systems require minimal maintenance. We recommend regular inspections and cleaning of the panels to ensure optimal performance. Our membership program includes an annual inspection to keep your system in top shape.
