• A photovoltaic (PV) solar installation consists of solar panels, mounting structures for panels on the roof, electrical wiring, and an inverter.

• From sunrise to sunset, the solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity which is sent to the inverter. The inverter converts the DC into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity required for household use.

This is how a basic PV solar system works and based on the type of system as per your specific requirements, these may be accompanied with either batteries or solar meters.

Yes, if you have roof space to install solar panels with 4-5 hours of sunlight almost daily, you should consider getting a rooftop PV solar system and start saving.

But there are a lot of other things that affect how well-suited your roof is for solar, including the location of your property, the angle of your roof, how much sun/ shade it gets throughout the day, any adjacent structures, and how old your house/ property is?

Our solar advisors can help you determine if your roof is a good fit for solar.

An investment in solar might seem costly in the beginning, but it's important to remember that solar is a long term prospect. And considering the fact that cost of solar has dropped down drastically in the recent past, the best way forward to maximize savings on your energy expenses is to install solar panels.

With a proper financial analysis you can start saving almost immediately and expect reduced payback periods making them even more affordable.
