Solar Panels - Your Questions Answered
How much space does the system need?
A typical system requires about 7 to 8 square feet for each dollar of your electric bill. This figure
varies depending upon your electric rates.
Do the solar panels need to be mounted on my roof?
Panels are often mounted on the roof, but can be mounted on the ground. Ground mounts are great if
the house is shaded, or if dormers or other obstructions limit space on the roof.
Do the panels need to face south?
South is best, but panels facing east or west still generate a very high percentage of power.
Are the panels fragile?
No. While the panels are made of tempered glass, they are quite strong. They pass hail tests and are
regularly installed in Arctic and Antarctic conditions.
How much power does the system produce?
Systems come in all sizes, and produce as much or as little power as required. Many systems
produce a portion of the home's required power, leaving room for additional conservation or
generation in the future.
How long will the system last?
The solar panels have a 25-year power warranty from the factory. This is longer than anything else
you can buy. Moser Baer Solar is the manufacturer of our panels.
What happens if the panels get covered with snow?
Solar electric panels need sunshine to generate power. While some sun does make it through several
inches of snow, little electricity is generated when the panels are covered with anything.
Does solar power work in cold weather?
Yes, very well in fact. Contrary to most people's intuition, solar panels actually generate as much
power at lower temperatures. This is because solar panels are really electronic devices and generate
electricity from light, not heat.
If I sell my property, what effect does PV have on the sale price?
Energy conservation and renewable generation adds value to a home. Surveys have shown that for
every $1,000 saved per year, $20,000 is added to a homes value. Solar energy can be one of the best
home improvement investments you can make.
What about cleaning and maintenance?
In most areas of the country, there is sufficient rain to clean the panels, however you may see a
performance gain from cleaning the panels periodically. A hose stream is usually sufficient for
cleaning. Do NOT walk on or over the panels to clean them. Do NOT use metal, hard, or abrasive
methods for cleaning. Do NOT spray water on the panels when they are very hot. Also, when
reviewing battery levels, check battery connections and fuse holder to ensure that they are clean and
dry. If necessary, use a silicon sealant for sealing damages around the frame.
