Solutions to all your queries and confusions regarding Solar energy.

General

Solar panels are highly excitable, conductive materials. A direct current(DC) electricity is created when sun rays hit the solar panels. DC electricity produced by solar panel cannot be used at homes and businesses since most them use alternating current (AC) electricity.
The solar-generated DC energy will pass through an inverter to become AC electricity which then can be utilized for operating home devices and other office machines.

Solar panels generate electricity with sun’s UV rays and not sunshine. Solar panels only need unobstructed access to these UV rays. Solar panels will still generate electricity during cloudy, rainy, or snowy days but the energy produced will be much less compared to those on clear sky days.
Because of this process solar panels do not generate electricity at night once the sun sets. It is recommended to stay connected in the power grid as a back up so that there is uninterrupted power supply always.

Solar power plants have the capacity to offset almost 80-90% of monthly electricity bills which almost reduces the monthly expense of a family to a great extend. It also depends on other factors like how much electricity your home or business uses, the rate your utility company charges for electricity and the locality.
For exact calculations it’s better to get in touch with our executives who can get you the exact numbers depending on your project area and other criterias.

Imagine growing vegetables in your kitchen garden, it has an initial cost but then you get fresh vegetables for your requirements and excess at a very less cost compared to buying from supermarkets. The same is with switching to solar energy, there is an initial set up cost which compromises on the Newry charges you pay monthly to your utility company.
Solar panels on your property will be generating electricity for your requirements and excess also. Excess energy generated can be sold back to utility company as credits to further lower your monthly bills.

Solar panels start generating usable energy almost immediately after installation is complete.
Difference in electricity bills can be noticed in the upcoming bill and will get lowering going forward.

Solar panels are easy to maintain and have zero movable parts with negligible maintenance cost, more over most of the best solar power providers offer solar panels with manufacturer’s warranties that last between 20–30 years. Extrawatts models have 50+ years of lifespan by which time you would have generated a sizable return on your investment

Solar panels when mounted on the roof will protect the roof from damages rather than damaging the roof. It also reduces the heat from falling directly on the roof and keeps the home cooler. There are several mounting methods one can choose from with minimal damage to the roof , actually negligible damages.

Solar energy is a green alternative for electricity, so the greatest financial benefit of installing a solar power system is reducing energy charges from your utility company. Thereby keeping us unaffected from the raising electricity charges in future. The amount of saving from electricity charges depends on the utility rates and other policies in your area.
Going solar is always a smart and lifetime investment regardless of where you live.

You will  receive an electricity bill unless you go completely solar with adequate battery storage and off the power grid. However with solar energy flowing through your system the electricity bill can be reduced to as much as zero.

Depending on the scale of business and area available for solar power plant installation only will be able to state if just solar energy will be enough to run a business. But in the case of a home a small solar power plant will be able to meet all the requirements unless it’s a palace.
Solar energy is reliable and is the most efficient alternative green energy that can be used to meet small scale requirements. Energy is produced at all weather conditions when UV rays from sun reaches earth. However it is always recommended to be in the power grid as a back up in case sun doesn’t show up for a week (which is likely not to happen).

The state and central governments provides subsidies for solar power plant projects for residential and housing society. Subsidies are also given to individual solar power plants depending on the scale and usage of the energy. The electricity board have various schemes for solar power plant projects and not only gives subsidies in setting up the plant but also gives benefits of crediting for the excess energy supplied back to electricity board after the home needs thereby reduced utility bills.
