↪ Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity even on cloudy or rainy days. While their efficiency may be slightly reduced, they can still produce power from diffuse sunlight.

↪ The installation duration depends on various such as system size, complexity, and site conditions. Typically, residential systems can be installed within a few days, while commercial installations might take longer, ranging from a few weeks to a couple of months.

↪ Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning to remove dirt and debris is recommended, and any necessary repairs or inspections should be performed by qualified technicians. Regular monitoring of the system’s performance is also advisable.

↪ Standard grid-tied solar systems are designed to automatically shut off during a power outage for safety reasons. However, installing battery storage or a backup generator can provide power during such events.

↪ The amount of money saved depends on various factors, including your current electricity usage, the size and efficiency of the solar system, local energy rates, and available incentives. A solar company can provide you with a personalized estimate of potential savings.

↪ Financial incentives vary depending on location. In many regions, there are federal and state tax credits, utility rebates, and net metering programs that allow you to earn credits for excess energy produced. It’s important to consult with a solar company to understand the incentives available in your area.
