What are solar panels and how do they work?
Solar panels are photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight into electricity. They work by allowing photons from the sun to knock electrons free from atoms, which creates an electric current.
How long do solar panels last and what is the maintenance required?
Solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years and require very little maintenance. The panels are durable and can withstand severe weather conditions, but it's recommended to have them inspected annually to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Can solar panels be installed on any type of roof?
Solar panels can be installed on most types of roofs, including asphalt shingle, metal, tile, and flat roofs. However, the most effective installation is on a south-facing roof with a clear view of the sun.
Will installing solar panels increase the value of my home?
Yes, installing solar panels can increase the value of your home. A home with a solar panel system is often seen as more energy-efficient and can appeal to potential buyers, leading to a higher resale value.

Yes, there are various federal, state, and local incentives and tax credits available for residential solar panel installations. These incentives can significantly reduce the cost of a solar panel system and provide a return on investment.
