Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

At A2Z Solar Power, we understand that switching to solar energy can come with questions. Below, we've answered some of the most common inquiries to help you make an informed decision about harnessing the power of the sun for your home or business.

  • Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. This electricity can be used to power your home or business, and any excess energy generated can either be stored in a battery or sent back to the grid. Solar energy is a clean, renewable source that significantly reduces your reliance on traditional power sources.

  • Yes! Solar systems are a long-term investment that can greatly reduce your electricity bills. Although the upfront cost may seem high, most homeowners and businesses see a return on investment within a few years due to savings on energy costs. Additionally, many states offer tax incentives, rebates, and financing options to help offset the initial cost of solar installation.

  • Solar panels work even on cloudy days, although their efficiency may decrease. Solar panels are designed to absorb sunlight, not just direct rays, meaning they can still generate electricity in overcast conditions. While output is lower, your solar system will continue to produce energy, ensuring consistent power supply.

  • If your solar system is connected to the grid without a battery backup, you will not have power during an outage for safety reasons. However, if you have a battery storage system, your solar panels can continue to provide electricity by drawing stored energy during a blackout, ensuring uninterrupted power for your essential needs.

  • Solar panels are highly durable and built to last. Most solar panels come with warranties ranging from 20 to 30 years. Even after the warranty period, solar panels often continue to produce electricity, though at a slightly reduced efficiency. Routine maintenance ensures your system operates at peak performance for decades.

  • Solar panels are low-maintenance. They require periodic cleaning to ensure maximum efficiency, and it's a good idea to have them inspected annually by a professional to ensure all components are functioning properly. At a2zsolarpower, we offer maintenance services to keep your solar system running smoothly.

  • The amount of savings depends on several factors, including your location, energy usage, and the size of your solar system. On average, homeowners and businesses can save up to 50-70% on their energy bills, making solar a cost-effective choice over the long term.
