Solar power is energy harnessed from the sun's rays, converted into electricity or used to heat air, water, or other substances.

Solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts DC into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses.

Solar power reduces electricity bills, lowers carbon footprint, provides energy independence, and increases property value.

Consider roof condition, orientation, shading, local weather, energy needs, and local regulations or incentives.

The installation process typically takes 1-3 days, but the overall timeline can be longer due to permitting and inspection processes.

Most roofs can accommodate solar panels, but the roof should be in good condition, with adequate space, and free from excessive shading.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regularly checking for debris, dirt, and ensuring they are not shaded can help maintain efficiency.

Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, with manufacturers often providing warranties of 20-25 years.

A solar inverter converts the DC electricity produced by solar panels into AC electricity used by home appliances and the grid.

AC (alternating current) is the type of electricity used in homes and the grid. DC (direct current) is produced by solar panels and converted by inverters to AC.

Yes, solar panels can generate electricity on cloudy days, but their efficiency is reduced compared to sunny days.

Traditional grid-tied solar systems shut down during power outages for safety reasons. Battery storage or hybrid systems can provide backup power during outages.
