Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. These cells absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) by an inverter for home use.

What is the cost of installing solar panels?

The cost of installing solar panels varies based on the size of the system, location, and specific installation requirements. On average, installation can range from R70,000 to R150,000 in South Africa.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. Regular maintenance can help ensure they operate efficiently throughout their lifespan.

Can I install solar panels myself?

While DIY installation is possible, it is recommended to hire professional installers to ensure safety, compliance with local regulations, and optimal system performance.

What maintenance do solar panels require?

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust and debris, along with periodic inspections by professionals, will help maintain efficiency.

Do solar panels work during power outages?

Standard grid-tied solar systems do not work during power outages for safety reasons. However, systems with battery storage can provide backup power.
