Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) AGS Electric & Solar Projects Pvt. Ltd.
What services does AGS Electric & Solar Projects Pvt. Ltd.
We specialize in solar panel installations for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Our services include site assessment, custom system design, installation, grid connection, and ongoing maintenance. We also offer consultation services for solar energy solutions tailored to your specific energy needs.
How does solar energy work?
Solar energy systems use photovoltaic (PV) panels to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. This electricity can power your home or business, reduce your dependence on the grid, and lower your energy bills. Any excess electricity can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid for credits.
Will solar panels work on cloudy or rainy days?
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, although their efficiency will be reduced compared to a sunny day. Solar panels rely on daylight, not just direct sunlight, to generate power.
How long do solar panels last?
Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years, though many can continue to produce electricity beyond that period. The performance of the panels will degrade slightly over time, but they are designed to operate efficiently for many years.
How much will I save by installing solar panels?
The amount of savings depends on several factors, including the size of your system, your energy consumption, local electricity rates, and available incentives. On average, homeowners can see significant reductions in their electricity bills, and many recoup their investment within 5-7 years.
What is the cost of installing solar panels?
The cost varies depending on the size of the system, the type of panels, and the complexity of the installation. However, with government rebates, tax incentives, and financing options, the upfront cost is significantly reduced. We provide detailed quotes after an initial site assessment.
Are there any government incentives or rebates for installing solar panels?
Yes, there are various incentives available, such as tax credits, rebates, and net metering programs that allow you to earn credits for the excess energy your system produces. These incentives vary by region, and we can help you navigate them to maximize your savings.
How long does the installation process take?
The installation process typically takes 1-3 days for a residential system, depending on the size and complexity of the installation. However, the entire process, including permitting and approvals, may take 4-8 weeks.
Do I need to maintain my solar panels?
Solar panels require very little maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust, debris, and snow, and occasional inspections to ensure the system is operating correctly, are generally sufficient. We offer maintenance services to help you keep your system running at peak efficiency.
Can I install solar panels if my roof is shaded or not facing south?
While a south-facing roof is ideal for solar panels, east and west-facing roofs can also be effective. If your roof is shaded, we’ll conduct a solar site assessment to determine how much sunlight your roof receives and recommend solutions such as trimming trees or using high-efficiency panels.
What happens if my solar system generates more electricity than I use?
If your system generates excess electricity, it can be sent back to the grid through a process called net metering. In return, you’ll receive credits on your electricity bill, which can be used during periods when your system isn’t generating enough power, such as at night.
How do I get started with solar panel installation?
Getting started is simple! Contact us for a free consultation. We’ll assess your property, discuss your energy goals, and provide a customized proposal outlining the ideal solar solution for your home or business.
Can I finance my solar panel installation?
Yes, we offer financing options to make solar installations more affordable. These options allow you to spread the cost over time while still enjoying immediate savings on your energy bills.
Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
Our team will conduct a detailed site assessment to determine whether your roof is suitable for solar panels. We’ll consider factors such as roof size, angle, shading, and condition to recommend the best solar solution for your property.
What happens if there is a power outage?
If your solar system is grid-tied, it will automatically shut off during a power outage to protect utility workers from potential electrical backfeed. If you have a battery storage system or an off-grid solar setup, you can continue using stored energy during an outage.
