Frequently Asked Questions
How does solar energy work?
Solar energy works by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels absorb sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in your home or business. With solar battery storage, you can even store excess energy for use during the night or cloudy days.
What are the costs associated with solar panel installation?
The cost of solar panel installation varies based on the size of the system, your location, and your energy needs. However, solar energy is an investment that pays off over time. With government incentives, reduced energy bills, and increased property value, many customers see a return on investment within a few years.
How much can I save with solar energy?
Savings with solar energy depend on your current energy consumption, the size of your solar system, and local energy rates. On average, homeowners can save up to 50-70% on their electricity bills. Businesses and farms often see even greater savings, making solar a smart financial decision.
What maintenance is required for solar panels?
Solar panels are low-maintenance, but to keep them operating at peak efficiency, regular cleaning and inspection are recommended. Orange Energy offers comprehensive solar maintenance services to ensure your system continues to perform optimally. Our services include cleaning, troubleshooting, and system checks to prevent any potential issues.
How long do solar panels last?
Solar panels are built to last, with most systems having a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. Over this time, the panels will continue to produce electricity, though their efficiency may decrease slightly. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your system.
Can solar panels be installed on any type of roof?
Solar panels can be installed on most roof types, including asphalt shingles, metal roofs, and flat roofs. During our site assessment, we evaluate your roof’s condition and orientation to determine the best placement for maximum energy generation.
What financing options are available for solar energy systems?
Orange Energy offers a variety of financing options to make solar energy accessible for everyone. From solar loans to leasing options, we’ll work with you to find a plan that fits your budget. Many customers also take advantage of government incentives and rebates to reduce upfront costs.
What is solar battery storage, and do I need it?
Solar battery storage allows you to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night or during power outages. While not necessary for every system, it provides added energy security and independence. It’s an excellent option for those looking to maximize their use of solar energy.
Is solar energy reliable?
Absolutely. Solar energy systems are highly reliable, requiring minimal maintenance. With advances in technology, solar panels and inverters are more efficient and durable than ever. Solar battery storage also ensures you have power even when the sun isn’t shining.
