Solar FAQ's
What factors affect solar energy?
The only thing that plays a major factor in the performance of your solar panels will be the weather. Days, when the skies are grey and rainy, will decrease the performance of the panels. The less light in the atmosphere the less the panels will work, however, the rain can have a positive effect on the performance of the panels because rain cleans the panels which may improve their performance when the sun returns.
How do solar panels work?
Photovoltaic (PV) or solar cells convert sunlight into electricity. When light strikes the material of the solar cell, it releases electrons that then generate electric current. The sunlight activates the cells in the solar panels, the cells then produce a direct current (DC) which is then converted into an alternating current (AC) electricity by the inverter. This electricity is then fed into the grid to supplement the power usage.
Are solar systems worth it?
With solar energy being a low-risk investment that yields substantial returns it is something that all high day-time energy users should consider. The model generates an extremely good return on investment ranging from 3-6 years on a plant that will keep generating for 25 years, yielding massive savings in the long term.
