A few good questions
Solar, made
easier to understand.
Start with the essentials. If you need advice for your home or business, we’re here to help you think it through.
Ask us a question
What parts make up a solar power system?
A typical system uses solar panels to generate electricity, an inverter to make that electricity usable, and optionally batteries to store energy. The right combination depends on your needs and how you use power.
How do I know what size system I need?
Start by listing the appliances and equipment you want to run, how much power they use, and for how long. A system plan should be based on those needs, your property, and your budget.
Will solar work when the sun goes down?
Panels generate power in daylight. If you want to use solar energy at night, battery storage can hold energy for later. Your system design determines what can run and for how long.
Can I start with a smaller system and expand later?
Some systems can be expanded, but compatibility depends on the equipment and original design. If you expect your needs to grow, include that in the planning conversation from the start.
What should I know about maintaining panels?
Keep panels clear of heavy dust and debris, and follow the cleaning and maintenance instructions from the equipment manufacturer and installer. Avoid climbing onto roofs or handling electrical equipment unless qualified.
How do I get a quote?
Prepare a list of the appliances you want to power, when you use them, and any plans to add equipment. Then get in touch with Solar Shack to discuss what information is needed for a suitable proposal.
