Solar panels work by using photovoltaic cells to capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. When sunlight hits the solar cells, it generates an electrical charge that moves in response to an internal electric field in the cell, creating electricity.

When choosing solar panels, consider factors like panel efficiency, cost, brand reputation, and warranty terms. It’s crucial to select the size and number of panels based on the space available and your energy needs to ensure optimal performance and financial return.

On cloudy days, your solar panels will still capture sunlight and produce electricity, though at a lower rate—typically between 10% and 25% of their maximum output, depending on the cloud coverage. It’s less than sunny days, but still enough to contribute to your home’s energy needs.

Yes, solar panels can be very effective in cold climates. In fact, solar panels operate more efficiently in cooler temperatures. Snow can temporarily decrease production while it covers the panels, but it generally melts quickly due to the panels' warmth. It’s important to ensure that panels are installed in a way that allows snow to slide off easily.

It might seem a bit daunting at first, but switching to solar power is actually quite straightforward when you have the right team to guide you. We’ll handle all the heavy lifting—from the initial assessment to the installation and final switch-over. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth and hassle-free for you as possible.
