Are you thinking about switching to solar panels as the main energy source for your residential or commercial property? If so, you may have heard some myths about using solar energy. Here at 3 Guys Solar, LLC, we take pride in helping people enjoy the benefits that solar panels provide to their properties, so we’ve put together this list of three of the common myths about solar panels and why they aren’t true.
- Myth 1: Solar panels don’t work when it’s cloudy. Obviously, you want your property to have power during all weather conditions. Contrary to what some people may think, solar panels work in all weather conditions, even when you can’t easily see the sun outside. Sunlight reaches the solar panels even on cloudy days, so you’ll still have access to power when the sun isn’t out.
- Myth 2: Solar panels aren’t worth the cost. Many residential and commercial property owners think solar energy isn’t worth the upfront installation cost. However, the amount of money you’ll save on energy costs throughout the years more than makes up for the installation cost.
- Myth 3: Solar panels are inefficient. Some people have doubts about the efficiency level of solar panels. The truth is solar panels don’t need too much energy to power your space, so efficiency isn’t an issue.
