While solar energy has the potential to deliver substantial long-term savings and environmental benefits, it is essential to recognize that these savings are contingent upon the size of the solar installation, energy consumption patterns, regional factors, electricity tariffs, and system efficiency. To achieve significant savings and power large appliances like geysers, ovens, and stoves, it is advisable to invest in a solar system that aligns with your household’s specific energy requirements.
We encourage you to discuss your energy needs and financial expectations with our solar experts. They will work closely with you to design an appropriately sized solar system that maximizes your potential for cost savings and supports your sustainable energy goals.
Remember that investing in solar energy not only impacts your finances positively but also contributes to a greener and more sustainable future.
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days. While they are most efficient in direct sunlight, they can still produce energy under diffused or indirect sunlight. Additionally, excess energy generated during sunny days can be stored in batteries for use during cloudy periods or at night.
The cost of solar panels varies depending on the size of the system, location, brand, and installation. While upfront costs may be involved, the long-term savings from reduced electricity bills often outweigh the initial investment.
Battery storage is optional but can be beneficial for energy independence and backup power during grid outages. It allows you to store excess energy generated during sunny days and use it during periods of low sunlight or when the grid is down.
Most solar panels come with warranties of up to 25 years. However, their actual lifespan can extend beyond that, and they can continue to produce electricity at a reduced capacity even after the warranty period
