Clear answers to common questions about solar energy, battery storage, installation and our services.
We've answered some of the questions we hear most often.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. An inverter then converts the electricity into a form your home or business can use. Depending on the system, excess energy can be stored in batteries for later use.
Yes, a properly designed system can provide most or all of a property's electricity needs. The required system size depends on your energy consumption, available solar resource, load profile and backup requirements.
Yes. Solar panels can still produce electricity under cloudy conditions, although output is lower than on a bright, sunny day.
Batteries store energy generated by your solar system so it can be used later, including during periods of low sunlight or when grid power is unavailable.
Battery lifespan depends on the battery technology, operating conditions, usage patterns and depth of discharge. A properly designed and maintained system can provide many years of service.
In many cases, yes. Compatibility depends on the inverter, system architecture and the battery technology being considered.
We look at your electricity consumption, connected loads, peak demand, operating hours and backup requirements before determining the appropriate combination of panels, inverter and battery storage.
Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the system, site conditions and equipment availability. A typical residential installation can often be completed within a few working days.
Yes. We can provide system monitoring, inspections, troubleshooting and maintenance services to help keep your installation performing reliably.
Yes. We design solar and backup power solutions for homes, offices, commercial facilities and other energy-intensive applications.
Yes. Existing electrical infrastructure can be assessed and incorporated into a new solar or backup solution where appropriate.
