Discover how solar power works, its benefits, and why it's the future of sustainable energy
When sunlight hits a solar cell, it excites electrons in the silicon material, creating an electric current. This is known as the photovoltaic effect, discovered by Edmond Becquerel in 1839.
Solar panels produce DC (Direct Current) electricity, which is converted to AC (Alternating Current) by inverters for home use. This process allows solar power to run standard appliances.
Excess power is sent back to the grid or stored in batteries. During low-sunlight periods, you can draw power from the grid or your battery storage system.
Solar power produces no greenhouse gases during operation, reducing your carbon footprint significantly.
Reduce or eliminate your electricity bills while increasing your property value.
Generate your own electricity and reduce dependence on utility companies and fossil fuels.
Solar panels require minimal maintenance and can last for 25-30 years or more.

The cost varies based on system size, location, and installation requirements. However, with incentives and energy savings, most systems pay for themselves within 5-10 years.
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at reduced efficiency. Modern panels are designed to work even in less-than-ideal conditions.
Most solar panels are warrantied for 25 years but can last 30+ years. They typically maintain 80% or more of their original efficiency after 25 years.
Solar panels need minimal maintenance - usually just occasional cleaning and annual inspections to ensure optimal performance.
