Photovoltaic energy is electricity generated from sunlight using solar panels, which convert solar radiation into usable electrical power.

Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC). This is then transformed into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it usable for homes and businesses.

Solar panels typically last between 25 to 30 years. Inverters generally have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, depending on the brand and how well they’re maintained.

Very little. The main requirement is to keep them free of dust and debris. An annual technical inspection is recommended to ensure everything is running efficiently.

Yes. While production is reduced, panels still generate electricity using diffused sunlight. Systems can also be paired with batteries or connected to the grid to ensure consistent power.

If your system is grid-connected, you can feed the excess energy back into the grid and receive credits or compensation, depending on your country’s regulations (e.g., net metering).

  • Grid-tied: Ideal for lowering electricity bills.

  • Hybrid: Combines solar panels, the grid, and battery storage.

  • Off-grid: Perfect for remote locations with no grid access.

  • Significant savings on electricity bills

  • Clean, renewable energy

  • Greater energy independence

  • Increased property value

Costs vary based on system size, equipment quality, and installation type. A residential system typically ranges from $3,700 to $10,000 or more, depending on its capacity and features.

Yes. In most countries, an electrical or interconnection permit is required. It’s important to work with a qualified installer who can handle the permitting process for you.
