Solar panels installed on your roof capture energy from sunlight and convert it into electricity for use in your home. An inverter converts the electricity into a form your household appliances can use.
Most homes with suitable roof space can potentially benefit from solar. Factors such as roof orientation, shading, available space and your household’s energy usage should be considered when designing a system.
The right number of panels depends on your electricity usage, available roof space, system size and energy goals. A professional assessment can help determine an appropriate system for your home.
In many cases, a battery can be added to an existing solar system. However, compatibility between your current equipment and the proposed battery should be checked before installation.
A solar battery stores excess electricity generated by your solar panels. The stored energy can then be used later when your solar panels are producing less electricity, such as during the evening.
It depends on your household energy usage, solar generation, electricity plan and goals. A battery may help some homeowners make greater use of the solar energy their system generates.
Installation time can vary depending on the size and complexity of the system, roof conditions and other property-specific factors. Your installer can provide a more accurate timeframe after assessing your home.
Solar systems are generally designed for low ongoing maintenance. Keeping panels reasonably clean and monitoring system performance can help identify potential issues early.
Some battery systems can provide backup power during a grid outage when designed and installed with the appropriate backup equipment. Backup capability depends on the specific system and installation.
