Solar panels are designed to be durable and have a long lifespan. Most manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 20 to 25 years, during which the panels are expected to operate at high efficiency. With proper maintenance, solar panels can continue to produce electricity beyond their warranty period.

The cost of solar panels depends on various factors, including the system size, quality of components, installation complexity, and location. However, the cost of solar panels has been decreasing over the years, making them more affordable and offering a favorable return on investment over time.

Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity during cloudy or rainy days. While the output may be reduced compared to sunny conditions, solar panels can still capture diffuse sunlight and convert it into usable energy.

Solar panels can be installed on various roof types, including flat, sloped, and metal roofs. However, the suitability of your roof for solar installation may depend on factors such as its orientation, shading, and structural integrity.

The installation timeframe can vary depending on factors such as system size, complexity, and the availability of installers. Typically, a residential installation can take a few days to a couple of weeks, including site assessment, permitting, equipment procurement, and actual installation.

When installed correctly by professionals, solar panels should not damage your roof. Installers use proper mounting techniques and flashing to ensure a secure and watertight installation. Additionally, reputable installers often offer warranties that cover any potential damage.

Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust and debris, as well as occasional inspections to ensure optimal performance, are recommended. 

A battery and inverter system can be utilised to provide backup power during outages. While solar panels generate electricity from sunlight, a battery and inverter setup can store and supply power even without direct sunlight. 

To maintain a smooth-running solar system, avoid prolonged use of high-energy appliances like heaters, geysers and ovens. Always address beeping or alarm sounds from your battery promptly, and prevent shading on your solar panels to maximise energy production.

To ensure your solar system works smoothly and lasts a long time, have professionals check your solar panels and battery regularly. Use energy wisely by choosing efficient appliances and doing tasks that use a lot of energy during a sunny day when your solar system is most effective.
