Frequently Asked Questions

Solar panels can significantly reduce electricity bills, with potential savings of 25 -100% depending on your energy usage, system size, and other practical considerations like available roof space, orientation of roof, and how much spade your roof is exposed to.

Solar panels require minimal maintenance, typically cleaning 1 – 2 times a year. Installations that are exposed to the elements and likely to pick up dirt easily will require more frequent cleaning. Examples include homes located close to the sea or in rural areas where the wind frequently blows dust on to the panels.

Batteries and inverters typically carry warranties of 10 years, depending on the brand. Solar panels have a 15 year product warranty and a 25 year linear output warranty. This means that after 20 years the panel should still deliver above 80% of its original production capability.

Installation time varies but typically takes 2-5 days, depending on size and complexity of the installation.

Solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at a reduced capacity, and energy storage options like batteries can provide power during night time.

At Microgrid Energy we are committed to using top of the range equipment which is completely modular. This means you can expand on inverter capacity, battery capacity or solar panel capacity at any point and link it into the current system.

Yes, you can run any appliance on your solar system if your system is designed to run those appliances. This will typically affect your inverter and battery sizing.

Recent studies have shown that solar panels can increase your home value by up to 4%. Keep in mind that the size of your installation, the monthly savings on electricity costs and the percentage by which you are reliant on the grid can all play a role here.

The size, orientation and structural integrity of your roof will dictate how much solar power you can produce. Your roof should be able to carry the weight of the installed solar panels (12kg/m2) and have enough exposure to direct sunlight through the day.
