FAQs
01
What is solar energy, and how does it work?
Solar energy is harnessed from the sun's rays and converted into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter to power your home or business.
02
How much will a solar installation cost?
The cost of a solar installation varies based on factors such as system size, location, and specific requirements. A typical residential system may range from Php250,000 to 350,000, while larger commercial installations will be more. It's best to get a tailored quote based on your specific needs.
03
What are the benefits of installing solar panels?
04
How long does it take to install a solar system?
Installation typically takes 3-5 days for residential systems, depending on the size and complexity.
05
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and annual inspections are usually sufficient to ensure optimal performance. Most systems come with a warranty that covers equipment and performance.
06
How much electricity can I generate with solar panels?
The amount of electricity generated depends on factors such as system size, location, and the amount of sunlight your property receives. An average residential solar system may produce between 4,000 and 10,000 kWh annually.
08
Will my solar system work during a power outage?
Most standard grid-tied solar systems will not work during a power outage unless paired with a battery storage system. A battery allows you to store excess energy for use during outages.
07
What happens if my solar panels produce more electricity than I use?
Excess electricity generated by your solar panels can be sent back to the grid, depending on your utility's policies. This is often credited to your account through a process called net metering, reducing future electricity bills.
09
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels are designed to last 25-30 years or more. Most come with a performance warranty guaranteeing a certain level of output for 20-25 years.
10
Are there incentives or rebates available for solar installations?
Yes, many regions offer incentives, rebates, or tax credits for solar installations. These can significantly reduce the overall cost of your system. Check with local authorities or your solar provider for details specific to your area.
12
How do I choose the right solar provider?
Look for a reputable provider with experience, good customer reviews, and proper certifications. Get multiple quotes and compare their offerings to find the best fit for your needs.
11
Can I install solar panels myself?
While some DIY kits are available, it is recommended to have a professional installation to ensure safety, efficiency, and compliance with local regulations.
