Solar basics
Solar panels turn daylight into electricity. They work best in strong sun, but they keep producing on cloudy days and through the winter, just at a lower output. At night they stop, which is why we often pair our panels with a battery so you can use daytime energy after dark.
How much a system produces depends on its size, measured in kWp, the peak output the panels can reach in ideal conditions. Shade, the angle of the roof and the efficiency of the panels all shape what you get day to day.
We have answered the questions people ask us most, from how a solar system works to what the terms on a quote mean, so you can make sense of solar before you talk to an installer.
