How long does a solar system last?
Solar modules typically last for more than 30 years and your system inverter should last more than 10 years. Q: What happens at night? A: Since PV technology requires sunlight to produce electricity, your system will not produce during the dark hours of the night. Your local utility will continue to supply your electricity at night unless you purchase a system with a battery backup. Q: What happens on cloudy days? A: Since PV technology requires sunlight to produce electricity, the bulk of your electricity production will take place in sunny conditions. Output is directly proportionate to the amount of sunlight available at any given moment, so systems can generate 50 — 70% of their typical output under bright overcast conditions but production will continue to diminish as less light reaches the surface of the modules. Q: In what temperatures will a solar system operate? A: Solar modules operate in temperatures ranging from-13 to 122 deg.F(-25 to 50 degrees C).Since PV modules are elec
