Can solar panels be installed on any type of roof?
Yes, solar panels can be installed on most roof types. At Poslec we consider factors like the roof’s orientation, age and strength; contact us and we will offer you the best advice for your specific situation.
Does the performance of a solar panel system vary with different weather conditions?
Yes, your solar system’s performance will fluctuate with the weather conditions. On sunny days, you’ll generate more power, while on cloudy or rainy days, output may reduce. However, even indirect sunlight can produce enough energy to power your home or business (depending on your system size).
What maintenance is required of a solar system after installation?
After installation, your solar system will require some basic maintenance. Regularly clean the panels, check for shade or obstructions, and ensure the inverter’s green light is on. We’re also happy to carry out regular maintenance and inspections for you.
How long does the installation process of a solar system typically take?
Installing a solar system typically takes one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the system. This process involves mounting the panels, connecting the system, and finalising all electrical installations and inspections.
What electrical upgrades are typically required to install solar?
This entirely depends upon how old your existing electrical system is, but common upgrades that are carried out alongside installing solar include updating meters (usually done by your electricity supplier), upgrading switchboards and replacing aged wiring.
What do the various numbers attached to solar systems mean? (6.6kW, 10.7kW and so on)
These simply refer to the size of the system. The higher the number, the more solar panels there are. More solar panels mean more ability to generate electricity.
What are the core elements of a solar power system?
At its most basic, a solar power system consists of photovoltaic panels, an inverter and the wiring to connect them to each other and to the mains power. The PV panels generate DC (direct current) electricity from sunlight and the inverter converts the DC power into usable AC (alternating current) power.
