In 2020, SunPower announced the newest addition to its portfolio of streamlined solar solutions, SunVault™ storage. And while storage isn’t a new concept, there are still a number of questions and misconceptions about its role in managing energy production and costs. Below are the top six inquiries we hear about storage and our candid answers. Why
While generating power from the sun is without cost, the technology behind this process is not. The reality is solar panels are an investment – much like a home – that has an upfront cost but pays off in the long term. The installation can be compared to a small construction project and each
Most solar panels come with a 25-to-30-year warranty, but they may realistically last 25 to 40 years or more. Panels will, however, slowly begin to degrade over time, meaning they may produce less energy. Solar panel degradation rates are constantly improving, currently the standards are between 0.1 to 0.8% loss per year. To determine
For homeowners interested in adding photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to their homes or businesses, 2021 has already gotten off to a great start. Just before ringing in the new year, Congress extended the deadline for the federal solar investment tax credit (ITC) which can offset the tax debt of many owners of residential, commercial and utility-scale
With a “Stay at Home” directive in place or not, more companies are realizing a benefit by their workers working from home either full or part time. There are many reasons for this: Transportation costs – both monetarily and mental – are reduced Commercial Real Estate costs – desk space, computer capacity, parking – can
Just like that, millions of Americans are suddenly working—and teaching—from home. And for many of those newly home-bound families, there's an unexpected expense awaiting in the wings— a higher energy bill . Working from home often means your heater or air conditioner—either of which can account for up to half of an electric bill—is pumping out more
Clouds gather. The sky grows dark. A solar homeowner may naturally wonder: How much energy can my solar system generate during a cloudy day? While of course solar panels need sunlight to produce energy, it’s important to learn how cloudy conditions can affect the efficiency of solar energy generation and how factors such as partial
If you’re considering a rooftop solar installation, chances are you’ve already done some research about the many benefits of commercial solar power—beyond lower energy costs. But before you can take advantage of any available tax incentives, green credits or net metering options, you need to know if your building can actually support the solar equipment you’re considering. To best answer,
So, you decided to get a solar system and join the ranks of thousands of world changers. First of all, congratulations! You are helping reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses that harm the environment. Even better, becoming a freedom chaser by embracing clean energy with solar power is a great feeling. But now what? How do
