Solar questions from Robbinsville homeowners
How is the number of panels for a Robbinsville house decided?
It starts with the home's actual electricity use, then with how much usable roof or ground area there is. A proper design looks at twelve months of consumption, expected future use, roof orientation, shading, roof dimensions, code-required setbacks, module wattage and the limits the utility places on interconnection.
Do solar panels produce anything on a cloudy day?
Yes, though normally less than under strong direct sun. Modules convert both direct and diffuse light. It is the reason a solar proposal should be judged on annual production rather than on any promise about what happens on a given day.
Who maintains a leased solar system?
The third-party owner generally takes on significant equipment-maintenance responsibility under a lease or power purchase agreement, but the actual obligations come from the contract. Worth checking specifically: inverter failure, panel failure, monitoring, labor, roof removal, animal damage, storm damage and production shortfalls.
