Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How solar cells works?

In a crystal, the bonds [between silicon atoms] are made of electrons that are shared between all of the atoms of the crystal. The light gets absorbed, and one of the electrons that's in one of the bonds gets excited up to a higher energy level and can move around more freely than when it was bound. That electron can then move around the crystal freely, and we can get a current.

Imagine that you have a ledge, like a shelf on the wall, and you take a ball and you throw it up on that ledge. That's like promoting an electron to a higher energy level, and it can't fall down. A photon [packet of light energy] comes in, and it bumps up the electron onto the ledge [representing the higher energy level] and it stays there until we can come and collect the energy [by using the electricity].

Why should I invest in a solar system now?

• Reduce your net electric bill - Higher performance solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and lower costs create very favourable financial incentives for installing a solar system now. These has enable a faster return-on-investment (ROI) more quickly recently.
• Declare energy independence - Invest in a solar PV system and generate your own electricity from sunlight - a clean, silent, renewable energy source with no emissions. Be green and save the Earth!
• Enjoy long-term solar life expectancy - With PV panels up to 25-years warranty and 40+ years lifespan, your solar system will last for years to come, sheltering you from rising electricity rates.
• Add value to any property - With an approximate 40+ years lifespan, the value of a solar system is added to the appraised value of a property. It's one of the few home improvements that can be justified in terms of return on invested dollar.
