“Solar panels are too expensive.”
Cost and value depend on your home, system size and electricity use. A tailored quote should explain the upfront price and estimated savings. Ask us about the payment options available for your project.
“Solar panels won’t work when it’s cloudy.”
Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, including on cloudy days. Output varies with the available light and will generally be lower than in strong sunshine.
“You can only use solar energy during the day.”
Panels generate during daylight. A compatible battery can store surplus electricity for use later, subject to its capacity and the home’s demand.
“Solar panels will decrease my property value.”
There is no guaranteed effect on a property’s sale price. Buyers will consider the system’s condition, ownership, paperwork and the home as a whole.
“Solar panels will damage my roof.”
Roof condition and the mounting system must be assessed before installation. Appropriate design and installation matter; a roof that needs repair should be addressed first.
“Solar panels need constant maintenance.”
Solar systems generally have modest routine maintenance needs, but should still be monitored and maintained in line with the manufacturers’ guidance.
“Solar panels don’t work in cold weather.”
Panels need light, rather than heat. They can generate electricity in cold weather, while shorter winter days and lower light levels affect total generation.
