FAQs

Do my solar panels still generate electricity when the sun isn’t out?

When it’s cloudy outside, your solar panels will produce a little less electricity, and they won’t produce any at night. However, solar is a wise choice even if you reside in a cloudy city due to high electricity bills and financial advantages.

What happens when solar panels are covered in snow?

Your solar panels can’t create electricity if they are covered in snow. But once the sun is out, the panels will soon warm up, shed the snow, and continue energy production.

Typically, snow isn’t thick enough to damage your panels structurally, and since most panels are angled, snow will just slip off.

What types of roofs may solar energy be installed on?

The optimum racking system for your house will depend on the design of your roof and the materials used for it.

Practically any type of roof surface and almost any structural system may accommodate solar panels. Your installer will advise you on the best racking solution for your space.

What if my roof isn’t suitable for solar power?

You might be able to implement a ground-mounted setup if solar panel installation on your roof is not an option. You’ll need significant exposure to a space far from trees and other shadow-casting structures for a ground-mounted installation.

Should I replace or fix my roof before switching to solar power?

It’s crucial that the roof directly above it is in good condition. If your roof is older than ten years, you should have it assessed to see how much longer it will last.

What steps are involved in getting my system approved?

The permitting procedure will differ depending on where you live. The majority of localities demand that installers apply for a solar permit, the requirements of which vary depending on the jurisdiction.
