    Do My Panels Need Cleaning?

    One of the bonuses solar PV provides is the minimal panel cleaning they require. Whilst this is the case it is, however, recommended you get your panels cleaned and your system inspected annually to ensure everything is running smoothly without any faults. Empower Energy Ltd are a well established solar company that provide excellence maintenance packages that include annual solar panel testing, inspections and cleaning from our team of experts in the springtime, so your system keeps performing with no worries. A common question asked regarding the maintenance of your panels is whether cleaning them yourself is possible. Despite this being an available option we would strongly advise you let our solar professionals do this, with the correct tools we can access spots that you may not be able to clean yourself.

    How Many Panels Will My Business Need?

    Every business is different and therefore requires a different number of panels to accommodate their electricity usage. Large companies typically need a lot more panels than smaller ones do because it takes into account the amount of staff working there as well as other factors that increase electricity consumption. A smaller business will often have fewer employees and use less electricity each month so they won't need a system nearly as big. Although this is often the case it doesn't always work out this way. It all comes down to the field of work that a particular business is in and how much electricity they consume monthly. A reasonably small business might use a significant amount of lighting and IT technology that would make a large PV system appropriate for them. On the contrary, you could be a large business that doesn't rely on electricity half as much resulting in a smaller solar system.

    How Much Will My Businesses Solar System Cost?

    Solar panel costs can vary depending on the size of the system your business requires. The larger the system you need the more it's likely to cost you, however with this comes the opportunity to save more from your system and spend money on areas that will make your company grow rather than spending money on rising electricity rates that prevent the success of your business.

This means as a business you can not only be self-sufficient but you can manage the amount your spending so your able to consistently save money on electricity and make room for spending's in ways that can benefit your company.

    Is Solar Energy Reliable Enough For My Business?

    Solar is a reliable source of natural energy that anybody can use to power their home. Your solar systems reliability will depend on its location and the amount of sunlight your building typically gets. Solar energy is most effective in the summertime because there tends to be a lot more sun available for electricity generation However, this doesn’t mean that in the winter you won't be able to power your home, just that the amount of reliance on solar energy should be significantly reduced in the event of wet and windy weather conditions. Businesses often decide to invest in battery storage as a solution to combat the loss of solar energy. The idea of battery storage is that it stores excess solar energy that is generated by your system in the daytime available for use when the sun is gone in and your solar system is unable to generate electricity. Another efficient way to utilize battery storage is by using it in the daytime on a day when there’s little sun, knowing you’ve got the flexibility to rely on your battery storage as a backup would be very handy.

    How Do Solar Panels Work?

    Solar panels work by converting the solar energy into dc electricity and then using your solar parts to transfer this into ac electricity that you can then use to power your business. For this to even happen first the solar panels must let the light particles hit the atoms and convert the energy, releasing the electrons from the atoms so the dc-ac conversion can take place.

    Can I Go Completely Off Grid With My PV System?

    Solar energy means your self-sufficient and producing electricity without the need for public grid electrics. Most business owners will run partially off-grid using solar energy with a backup of power grid connectivity for when solar is unable to provide electricity to your building. However, to go completely off-grid would mean your entirely unconnected to the general power grid and generating all your electricity on your own without any help. This is viable but would mean you would require a secondary source of power supply in the times where your primary source of energy isn't available. Therefore, most people with this idea would then purchase a battery storage device to do exactly that. With this comes weighing up whether going completely off-grid would be the most cost-effective idea because you're not just adding solar but you're adding on a battery storage device to this as well. For any small business that is looking to be independent and environmentally friendly, this could be an ideal option.

    How Long Do Solar Panels Last?

    Commercial solar panels often have a warranty of 20-25 years. This doesn’t mean after this period of time your solar system will no longer work by any means, we've had various customers that find their solar system is still efficient after 25 years and works just fine, it does, however, mean after this amount of time you are no longer guaranteed protection for your solar panels. Solar systems on average have a 0.5%-1% annual deficiency which means even after 20 years of use your panel would still be over 80% efficient.
