Question 1

How long does a typical residential solar installation take?

Accepted Answer

A typical residential rooftop installation takes a few days on-site once the system design and paperwork are finalized, though exact timelines depend on system size and site conditions.

Question 2

How much maintenance does a solar system need?

Accepted Answer

Solar systems generally require minimal maintenance — periodic panel cleaning and an occasional performance check are usually enough to keep a system running efficiently.

Question 3

What happens on a cloudy or rainy day?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels still generate some electricity in cloudy conditions, though output is lower than on clear days. Systems are typically sized with this variability in mind.

Question 4

Do I need battery storage with my solar system?

Accepted Answer

Battery storage is optional. Many grid-tied systems operate without batteries, exporting excess power to the grid. Battery storage adds backup power during outages, at additional cost.

Question 5

How is the right system size determined?

Accepted Answer

System size is typically based on your average electricity consumption, available roof area and roof orientation. Use the solar calculator for an initial estimate, then request a detailed site assessment.

Question 6

What warranty applies to solar panels and inverters?

Accepted Answer

Warranty terms vary by product and manufacturer. Product-specific warranty details are listed on each product page under Specifications.
