What is Solar Energy?

Solar energy refers to the radiant light and heat energy emitted by the sun. It is a renewable and abundant source of power that can be harnessed and converted into usable forms of energy, such as electricity using solar PV modules.

What is Solar Photovoltaic Technology?

Solar PV technology utilizes solar panels made up of photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the cells, electrons are released, creating an electric current. This current can be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices.

What are the benefits of solar energy?

Solar energy offers several benefits, including:

Clean and renewable: Solar energy produces no greenhouse gas emissions and helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Cost savings: By generating your own electricity, you can reduce or eliminate monthly energy bills.

Energy independence: Solar panels allow you to generate electricity on-site, providing greater control and resilience.

Long-term investment: Solar systems have a lifespan of 25 years or more, offering a reliable and durable energy solution.

Environmental impact: By choosing solar energy, you contribute to mitigating climate change and preserving the planet for future generations.

Can solar energy work during cloudy days or at night?

While solar panels are most effective under direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity on cloudy days. Although the energy production may be reduced, solar panels can still convert diffuse sunlight into usable power. At night, solar panels do not generate electricity, but battery storage systems can be used to store excess energy during the day for use during nighttime hours.

Is solar energy suitable for residential use?

Absolutely! Solar energy is highly suitable for residential use. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, where they can generate electricity to power your home and even charge electric vehicles. Residential solar systems offer homeowners the opportunity to save money on energy bills, increase their energy independence, and contribute to a greener future.

Are there any incentives or government programs available for solar energy installations?

Yes, governments (Central & State) offer incentives and programs to encourage the adoption of solar energy. These can include rebates, feed-in tariffs, and net metering programs, among others. These incentives vary by location, so please feel free to reach out to us and we will be happy to furnish the details of the specific programs available in your area.

How long do solar panels typically last?

Solar panels are designed to be durable and have a lifespan of 25 years or more. They require minimal maintenance and can continue to generate electricity even after their warranty period. Most reputable solar panel manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years, ensuring performance and reliability.

Can solar energy systems be integrated into existing electrical grids?

Yes, solar energy systems can be integrated into existing electrical grids. Excess energy generated by solar panels can be fed back into the grid, offsetting the electricity consumed during low production periods or at night. This process is facilitated by net metering programs, where homeowners receive credits for the excess energy they contribute to the grid.
