Within the past few years, solar energy has become a major source of renewable energy. It’s 100% eco-friendly energy, made of the sun’s radiation via the solar panels installed outdoors. However, some unfamiliar people spread diverse myths about solar panel installation and the overall systems, across the internet followed by word-of-mouth spreading that took the shape of a wildfire. Fortunately, some Bakersfield solar contractors at American Array Solar and a few other companies have debunked those myths and helped people with more specific information about the benefits of installing solar panels and how they can save more on their energy bills each month.
Let’s find out the four solar myths that leading Bakersfield solar contractors debunk—
Solar panels fail to perform in cloudy weather
With advanced technology, any leading Bakersfield solar company will suggest the latest panels during installation that are capable of producing ample solar energy even in cloudy weather. Whether it’s the May grey or June gloom, the solar panels can produce solar energy with bare minimum sunlight, as even in gloomier weather than California’s, solar panels have magically produced a significant amount of solar energy in places like Germany and other European countries experiencing cloudier weather throughout the year.
Therefore, the myth is debunked with rational information by experts. If you still have any queries about the production capacity of the solar panels before the Bakersfield solar panel installation, call the experts at American Array Solar for better clarification.
Expensive maintenance
American Array Solar, like any posh solar company, suggests buying an annual maintenance service after the Bakersfield solar installation is completed. Solar panel installation is expensive, and thus, the investors receive Federal Tax deductions as well.
However, washing the panels produces fast solar energy. Therefore, cleaning the solar panels is often suggested by experts. Instead of booking the cleaning services every time, buying a packaged service is more cost-effective. The solar installers arrive at your disposal to clean the panels quarterly, bi-monthly or weekly. It is not expensive, but it is a protective approach towards the maintenance of the solar panels.
Solar energy will not suffice for the daily power usage at your home
From running a heat pump to an air conditioner, you can run any appliance with solar energy. Therefore, it’s a myth to the core. You can produce the necessary solar energy, you can even charge your EV vehicles at home, or operate the hydraulic doors.
The roof gets damaged
If you think that the Bakersfield solar panel system will cause harm to your roof, then we must clarify that nothing like that happens from the panels. However, make sure that the roof is well-made and have a proper gutter channel to pass out the rainwater or any other perspiration directly.
The solar panels that we install at American Array Solar rather protect the roof from sun and rain. To ensure additional safety to your roof, you can insulate the roof from indoor and call a professional to clean foliage and dirt every month.
Your roof is 100% protected after solar installation by experts only.
