FAQ

THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS

  • What are solar panels and how do they work?
    Solar panels are devices that convert light from the sun into electricity. They consist of photovoltaic cells that generate power when exposed to sunlight. This power can be used immediately, stored in a battery for later use, or fed back into the grid.
  • What is a solar inverter?
    A solar inverter is an essential component of a solar system. It converts the DC electricity generated by the solar panels into AC electricity that can be used in your home or exported back to the electricity grid.
  • Why should I switch to solar energy?
    Solar energy is a renewable, clean energy source that reduces dependence on traditional fossil fuels, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions. It can also save you money on your energy bills in the long run, and you may be eligible for governmental incentives or subsidies for installing solar panels.
  • Are there any financial benefits or government incentives for going solar in the Czech Republic?
    The Czech government offers incentives for homeowners to install solar panels, which can make solar energy more affordable. The specifics of these incentives change over time, so we recommend contacting us for the most current information.
  • How much does a solar panel system cost?
    The cost of a solar panel system varies depending on factors such as the size of the system, the type of panels, and the specifics of your installation. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your specific needs.
  • How long does it take to install solar panels?
    The installation time can vary based on the size and complexity of the system. On average, residential installations take between 1-3 days once all the necessary permits and approvals have been obtained.
  • Do solar panels require maintenance?
    Solar panels require minimal maintenance. It's generally good to keep them clean and free from debris. Periodic inspections by a professional can ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system.
  • Will my solar panels work in winter or on cloudy days?
    Yes, solar panels will still generate electricity on cloudy days and during winter, but the output might be reduced. Solar panels work based on light, not heat, so as long as there is daylight, your panels can produce electricity.
  • What happens if my solar panels produce more energy than I use?
    If your solar system produces more electricity than you use, the excess can often be fed back into the grid. Depending on your utility company and the net metering policies in the Czech Republic, you may be credited for this excess electricity.
  • How long will my solar panel system last?
    Most solar panel systems are designed to last for 25-30 years or more. The performance of solar panels slightly decreases over time, but even after 25 years, many systems can still produce electricity at 80% of their original efficiency.
  • Can I install the solar panels myself?
    While it's technically possible to install solar panels yourself, we strongly recommend using a certified professional. This ensures the system will be safely installed and operate at maximum efficiency, and it's often required to qualify for warranties and incentives.
