Residential Solar Panel FAQs

Solar panels don’t generate any energy when the sun isn’t shining on them. So, during cloudy days or overnight, there is no energy output from them.

This is why it is recommended that you also have an energy storage battery fitted as part of the system. This battery will store excess energy produced in peak sunlight, so it can be used during times of no energy production.

Typically, residential solar panels will last around 25-30 years. However, they won’t simply stop working when they reach this age. It simply means that their efficiency starts declining.

Solar panels are relatively low-maintenance. However, they do require a minimal level to ensure they are running efficiently and will last.

Annual services are recommended to check each part of the system is functioning as it should. Additionally, regular cleans are advised to keep debris and dirt off the panels and block sun exposure, as this will reduce their output.

The majority of appliances in your home can be powered by your residential solar panel system.

Appliances include:

  • Heating and cooling systems
  • Lighting
  • Kitchen appliances
  • Home entertainment systems
  • Outdoor lighting

Installation time frames can vary depending on the complexity and size of your system.

Typical time frames can be between 1-3 days, but this will be confirmed when you have signed off on a system design and we schedule the installation.
