Solar energy harnesses sunlight to generate electricity or heat. It is a renewable and sustainable energy source that offers an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Solar panels installed on rooftops or in large solar farms convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect.

Solar panels rely on sunlight to generate electricity, so they do not produce power at night or without sunlight.

However, solar panels can still generate some electricity on cloudy days. While their efficiency decreases when there is less sunlight, modern solar panels are designed to capture diffused sunlight, allowing them to continue producing electricity even when the sky is overcast.

Additionally, energy storage systems such as batteries can store excess energy generated during sunny periods for use during times when sunlight is limited.

Although solar panels are most effective in direct sunlight, their ability to generate electricity in varying conditions makes them a versatile and valuable renewable energy resource.

• Clean the panels regularly with a soft brush and mild detergent to remove dirt and debris that may hinder sunlight absorption.
• To maximise sunlight exposure, check for shading caused by nearby objects and trim overhanging branches.
• Inspect for damages such as cracks, corrosion or loose connections and address any issues promptly.
• Monitor the system’s performance to detect deviations from expected output, which may indicate potential problems.
• Schedule professional maintenance periodically to conduct thorough inspections and testing.
• Secure the mounting system to ensure the inverter functions properly and protect the panels against weather elements.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your rooftop solar panels operate efficiently and provide you with clean and sustainable energy for years to come.
