FAQ

Solar energy offers several advantages, including financial savings on electricity bills, environmental benefits by reducing carbon footprints, and the potential to increase property value by approximately 4-6% 

Grid-tied systems are connected to the utility grid, allowing users to draw electricity from the grid when solar production is low and sell excess energy back to the grid. Off-grid systems, on the other hand, operate independently and require battery storage to provide power when solar generation is insufficient 

A typical solar energy system consists of solar panels, an inverter to convert DC electricity to AC, mounting equipment, and sometimes battery storage for off-grid systems 

The cost of solar energy systems can vary widely based on factors such as system size, installation complexity, and location. It’s essential to consider the net cost after incentives and rebates, which can significantly reduce the overall expense 

Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. By switching to solar, individuals can significantly lower their carbon footprint 

Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, although their efficiency may be reduced. Solar technology is designed to capture sunlight even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Solar systems generally require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the panels and occasional inspections to ensure everything is functioning correctly are typically sufficient. These FAQs provide a foundational understanding of solar energy systems, helping potential users make informed decisions about adopting solar technology. If you have more specific questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

The cost of installing a solar energy system depends on several factors, including the size of the system, location, labor costs, and available incentives. Here’s a breakdown of the typical costs involved:

Yes, there can be hidden fees associated with installing solar energy systems. While the upfront costs of solar panels and installation are often clear, additional fees may arise during the process. Here are some potential hidden costs to watch out for

1. Change of Load/Name Fees
   It occur when section load is not up to installed capacity so change is required and charge on agreed price and Owner of property should be same on utility bill if not it required name change and it is also charge separately,
2. Interconnection Fees
   If you’re installing a grid-tied solar system, meter installation charges should be paid to person coming from WAPDA
3. Inspection Fees for Remote Area
   Sif installation site is remote and required require inspections before and after installation to ensure the system functioning proper it will be charged on agreed price for TA, DA.
4. Maintenance Costs
   While solar systems are low-maintenance, occasional cleaning or repairs may be necessary. For example, cleaning panels can cost per session, depending on the size of your system and location.
5. Removal and Reinstallation Costs
   If you need to replace your roof after installing solar panels, you may incur costs to remove and reinstall the panels. This can cost $1,500 to $6,000, depending on the system size.
