FAQs
What happens when my system produces more electricity than I use?
Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows you to receive credits for the excess electricity your solar panels generate and feed back into the grid.
When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home consumes, the excess energy is sent back to the electric grid. For the electricity you supply to the grid, your utility company will credit your account. These credits can be used to offset the electricity you draw from the grid when your solar panels aren’t producing enough power, such as at night or on cloudy days.
Do you provide battery solutions?
Yes we do! We are certified Enphase/Tesla/Franklin/QHome battery installers. Visit our page here to explore our recommended battery solutions in more detail.
What if I move to a new home?
If you move to a new home, you can transfer your solar panel system to the new homeowner. We recommend consulting with our team to determine the feasibility of transferring your system.
Additionally, you may need to update your system’s registration and permits. We’ll be happy to guide you through the process and provide any necessary documentation. Please contact us to discuss your specific situation and we’ll do our best to assist you.
Do Solar Panels work at night and in the winter?
Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into electrical energy your home can use. As such, they do not produce electricity at night when the sun is not out. However, many solar panel systems come equipped with a backup power source, such as a grid connection or a battery storage system, which can provide power during periods of low sunlight or at night through battery storage or net metering programs.
Regarding winter, solar panels can still generate electricity during the winter months, although the amount of energy produced may be slightly reduced due to the reduced sunlight. This is because the sun’s rays are more oblique during the winter months, resulting in slightly lower energy production. However, most solar panel systems are designed to produce energy efficiently even in low-light conditions.
It’s worth noting that solar panels can still generate some electricity even on cloudy days or during periods of low sunlight. While the amount of energy produced may be reduced, solar panels can still contribute to your energy needs. If you have any specific concerns or questions about your solar panel system’s performance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
How much money do I save by going solar?
Savings from solar depend on various factors including your energy usage, the size and efficiency of your solar system, local sunlight conditions, and any available incentives or tax credits.
Typically, homeowners can expect to see significant savings on their electricity bills over the lifetime of their solar panels, often resulting in a return on investment within several years.
What happens when I need a new roof after I go Solar?
When it’s time to replace your roof, we understand that it can be a concern for solar panel owners. At Tron Solar, we’re committed to ensuring that your solar panel system is properly integrated with your new roof.
When you need a new roof, we recommend consulting with our team at Tron Restoration to discuss the best course of action. We’ll work with you to ensure that your solar panel system is properly removed, stored, and reinstalled on your new roof. We’ll also inspect the system to ensure that it’s still in good working condition and make any necessary repairs.
Please note that it’s essential to consult with a professional solar panel installer, like Tron Solar, when replacing your roof to ensure that your solar panel system is properly installed and functioning correctly. We’re here to help you navigate this process and ensure that your solar panel system continues to provide you with clean, renewable energy for years to come.
Do I need to clean/wash my panels?
While solar panels are designed to be low-maintenance, they do require occasional cleaning to ensure optimal performance. Dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate on the panels and reduce their ability to generate electricity.
We recommend cleaning your solar panels every 6-12 months, depending on your location and environmental conditions. You can use a soft-bristled brush, a hose with a spray nozzle, and a mild detergent to clean the panels. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or high-pressure washes, as these can damage the panels.
If you’re unsure about how to clean your solar panels or if you notice significant debris accumulation, please contact us and we’ll be happy to provide guidance.
