How does solar power work?
What if my solar panels don’t create enough electricity to power my house or business?
Aren’t solar panels expensive?
When they were first introduced to the general public, solar panels were very expensive because the technology used in the panels was not widely used. Since then, the price of a solar installation has steadily dropped. The U.S. Department of Energy has reported a 60% drop in the price of solar panels since 2010. The federal government may offer up to 30% in tax credits for a solar installation, as well.
How is a solar pool heating system different than solar panels on a home or business?
In short, solar panels on a house or business create electricity, while solar heating for a pool does not. While both use the clean energy power of the sun, pool heating uses it to heat water directly, while panels use it to create electric energy.
What should I look for when choosing a solar energy system provider?
How will I clean and maintain my solar panels or solar pool heating system?
While some owners choose to clean their solar panels or pool heating system themselves, we highly recommend using a professional service. Cleaning your solar panels on your own can be a strenuous and dangerous task. Without using the correct techniques and soap, you could damage your panels or pool heating system.
