frequently asked questions
Short answers, with technical honesty.
Does solar work on cloudy days?
Yes. Output drops with irradiance, but panels still produce. Annual production is what matters, not a single cloudy afternoon.
Will solar power my house during an outage?
Not by default. Grid‑tied systems shut down for safety. Add storage + transfer equipment for outage capability.
How long do panels last?
Most modules carry 25‑year performance warranties and often continue producing beyond that with gradual degradation.
