Most solar panels last between 25-30 years with proper care and
maintenance.
Q11. What are the main types of solar panels?
The three common types are Monocrystalline, Ploycrystalline, and
Thin-Film solar panels. Each has different efficiency levels and costs.
Q12. Can I install solar panels myself?
While DIY installation is passible, it is recommended to hire
professionals to ensure safety, efficiency, and warranty protection.
Q13. How much can I save with solar panels?
Saving depend on the system size, electricity rates and sunlight
availability. On average, households can save up to 40-70% on electricity bills.
Q14. Do solar panels require maintenance?
Solar panels require minimal maintenance, mostly cleaning a few times a
year and checking the system for proper function.
Q15. Are solar panals good for the environment?
Yes, solar panels reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower reliance on
fossil fuels, and contribute to a cleaner and greener planet.
