Question 1

How long will my home solar panels last?

Accepted Answer

Solar Panels easily last more than 30 years of usage if maintained periodically. Even so, manufacturers of solar panels themselves give 25 years of performance warranty, meaning that they continue to generate for at least 25 years. Think of your home solar panels as an investment into 25+ years of solar advantages. The sturdy build of solar modules ensures that they can withstand the elements and the wear with minimal to no impact on their energy efficiency.

Question 2

Is my roof good for home solar panel installation?

Accepted Answer

Your roof should be strong enough to withstand the weight of the whole solar system, which is the weight of solar panels mounted on a steel structure. However, it varies from structure to structure. A standard rooftop solar (0.5 mt height) with 330 Wp PV modules mounted on a mounting structure of steel weighs about 11-12 KGs per square metre. If your roofing material is strong and durable enough to hold weight, then you can consider solar without a worry. However, a technical assessment by your solar installer will help you decide if your roof can take the added load of the solar system and if not, HomeScape Solar will suggest ways you can switch to solar without worrying about the load.

Question 3

Will my home solar system need maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Since rooftop solar plants have no moving parts, maintenance requirements aside from routine cleaning are minimal. Also, warranties on solar equipment and comprehensive AMC packages will have you covered against any repair needs during the system’s lifespan. A major equipment failure is nonexistent, but you might need to troubleshoot, maintain, and replace some components in your home solar system’s lifetime.

Question 4

What are the financial gains of getting a solar plant for homes?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading your home with a power-supplying solar plant eventually pays off through monthly energy savings. You can reduce your electricity bills by upto 90% on a monthly basis. You will also be unaffected by the rising electricity tariffs. Although your savings depends on the solar policies available for you, it is still a smart investment regardless.

Question 5

What are the environmental gains of going solar?

Accepted Answer

Being a renewable energy source for homes, solar power is an environmentally-friendly alternative to electricity obtained from other conventional sources of electricity. Switching to solar helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus prevent the harms of climate change on our planet.

Question 6

What is net metering?

Accepted Answer

With grid-connected home solar power plants, you can benefit from net metering. It's a system that gives you solar credits when you supply surplus solar energy to the local grid and allows you to use electricity when solar power produced by your system is less to meet your power needs.

Question 7

Will I receive no electricity bills after getting a solar plant?

Accepted Answer

Leveraging home solar power doesn’t mean you won’t receive an electricity bill unless your system is off the grid and you depend on solar batteries instead of the grid to supply you power on low production days. However, your solar bill can reflect zero or little amount payable or even solar credits depending on your electricity consumption. This means, net metering allows you to pay only for net electricity consumed after accounting for all the excess energy units you supply to the grid.

Question 8

If I get solar panels for my home, will I be affected by power outages?

Accepted Answer

Grid-tied residential solar power systems will shut off if there is an outage in your area because you are getting electricity via your grid. This happens to avoid safety threats to the utility line repairmen and emergency responders from the green electricity your solar system sends to the grid. However, you can pair your inverter with a battery storage to avoid a blackout in your home. This way you can truly become energy independent.

Question 9

How do I select the right size home solar energy system?

Accepted Answer

Analyse your monthly energy consumption to ascertain your power needs. Also, the weather conditions in your area will affect the number of solar panels needed to capture enough sunlight for the desired energy generation. HomeScape will help you evaluate all the factors to make the right decision. To get an estimate, use our solar calculator  to find out the approx. capacity of solar plant you need for your domestic consumption.

Question 10

Can I afford to go solar?

Accepted Answer
