Question 1

How much can I save with solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Savings vary based on your location, energy usage, system size, and local electricity rates. Many homeowners save 50-90% on their electricity bills, with systems typically paying for themselves within 7-12 years through energy savings and incentives.

Question 2

Do solar panels work during power outages?

Accepted Answer

Standard grid-tied solar systems shut down during power outages for safety reasons. To maintain power during outages, you'll need a solar battery storage system or special equipment that allows your system to operate independently from the grid.

Question 3

How long do solar panels last?

Accepted Answer

Most solar panels come with 25-30 year warranties and can continue producing electricity for 30-40 years, though at gradually decreasing efficiency. Inverters typically need replacement every 10-15 years, and batteries (if installed) may need replacement every 5-15 years depending on the type.
