Solar panel news

Do solar panels cost a lot?

Solar panels can cost a lot of money, but they may be more cost-effective than your usual electricity bill over the long run. We wish Solar Energy World was more transparent about pricing, but solar companies are usually pretty vague unless you get a specific home quote.

What happens if the company that installed my solar panels no longer exists?

If the company that installed your solar panels no longer exists, your solar panel and production warranties should still be valid, since they're provided by the manufacturer, not the installer.

Are solar panels a good investment?

Solar panels are an expensive investment. When you decide to go solar, you are either committing to a significant upfront cost of tens of thousands of dollars or a long-term plan through several years of monthly payments. The breakeven point, or payback period, is the time it takes to recoup the cost from the initial investment.

Are solar panels covered under a warranty?

Don't be afraid to shop around to see who's offering the best deal. What's covered under a solar panel warranty? There are three different kinds of solar warranties you'll want to be on the look out for: product, performance and labor warranties. If you're buying a solar panel system, the ideal warranty package should contain all three.

Do solar panels pay back faster if you live on a shady lot?

If you live on a shady lot, and your panels' production is more intermittent, you won't see a payback quite as quickly. This is a huge, but sometimes overlooked, factor in the solar payback period. Basically, the higher the electricity rates where you live, the more lucrative solar can be for you.
