Misconceptions About Home Solar Energy in Sacramento

Misconceptions About Home Solar Energy in Sacramento

 Misconceptions About Home Solar Energy in Sacramento

There are so many Misconceptions About Home Solar Energy in Sacramento, Ca. Here is what WE KNOW to be true about five solar myths we frequently hear. Solar photovoltaics are a great way to save money while producing green energy for residential or commercial use, and we want as many people as possible to know the truth about solar energy as we work our way to a brighter, greener future.

Solar Panels are Not Affordable

This may have been the case in years past. However, in recent years Home solar energy in Sacramento, Ca has become increasingly affordable. Not only are there a wide range of financing options available to you, there are also various tax incentives, including the Federal Solar Tax Credit which allows you to receive 30% of the total cost of your solar system back on your taxes. Additionally, California is one of several states to have net metering in place, the system in which your utility credits you at retail rates for the excess electricity you generate and feed back into the grid. Talk to your solar panel installer about the financing options available to you.

Solar Panels Will Destroy My Roof

If solar panels are installed PROPERLY they will not damage your roof at all. In fact, a competent solar panel installer will be sure to take care of your roof. Solar panels can actually help protect the areas of your roof located beneath them from damage by hail, wind, and light.

Solar Panels Require a Lot of Maintenance

Solar panels require very little maintenance. They do not have any moving parts, which makes them highly reliable. A good rinse with a plain, old garden hose a few times a year should be all that is necessary. 

Solar Panels Will Power My Home When the Electricity Goes Out

This is not true for grid-tied homes: when the grid loses power, your home will also lose power. It is unsafe for your home to be generating power while workers may be making repairs, so your inverter will shut your system down. However, if you have installed a battery backup for your grid-tied system you can keep your lights on during a power outage.

Solar Panels Do Not Work when the Sun Isn’t Shining

Solar panels will still work when it is cloudy or foggy, because unlike shade, some sunlight still gets through to reach your roof. Really heavy clouds can decrease panel output, but light cloud cover will not make much of an impact. Believe it or not, solar panels will produce slightly more in cooler temperatures than in warmer ones.

These are just a few of the Misconceptions About Home Solar Energy in Sacramento.

Depending on factors such as available surface area, shading and of course budget, you can install enough panels to produce all or a portion of your energy.

Solar panel systems will definitely save you money and protect you from increasing utility costs. There are a lot of reasons why homeowners are switching to solar, but improving the environment and reducing electricity costs are the big ones.

Choosing Solar Panels in Folsom, Ca.

Choosing Solar Panels in Folsom, Ca.

When you are choosing solar panels in Folsom, Ca. consider the most popular and most purchased type: Photovoltaic or “PV” solar panels convert sunlight to electricity. PV solar panels made of crystalline silicon solar cells are the most common type of panel. They produce electricity that runs through an inverter which then converts the current into electricity that can power anything from a hair dryer to a computer to an electric car.

PV solar power is a well-established technology, and since there are no moving parts, photovoltaic solar panels offer very reliable and long-term energy production. The best residential solar panels produce the most possible electricity per square foot with efficiencies up to 18% -19%.

Residential solar panels are typically roof-mounted, although ground-mounted PV systems can be installed where more land is available. In general, photovoltaic solar panels require almost no maintenance, and in areas that offer net metering, extra electricity generated can be sent to the local grid so that you earn money from your solar investment.

Because PV panels have better efficiency than thin film solar panels, these conventional crystalline silicon photovoltaic solar panels are usually the solar technology of choice. Also, when choosing solar panels in Folsom, Ca. consider that most rooftops have limited space for optimal photovoltaic solar energy production and conventional crystalline silicon photovoltaic solar panels generate the maximum electricity possible in the space available. As result, this tried and true solar technology can offer the best long-term return on investment.
