Our electricians at Aussie Electrical and Solar have to time and again face weird questions from our clients in regards to their solar systems. That is because, people, even after such a fillip in the popularity of solar energy, are plagued by myths. Thus, it is high time these misconceptions are eliminated, helping people get the best out of solar energy, and utilising this ‘greenest’ form of energy is a more fruitful way. On this page, let us discuss some of the most widely circulating myths in regards to solar energy.
Solar Panels Do Not Work in Winter
Though this myth is more popular in England due to cloudy, murky and gloomy winters, quite a number of people in Australia nurtures the same myth. Though the Australian winters are not as gloomy as their British counterparts, still people think that the solar panels do not work during the winter that effectively, as they do during the summer.
But that’s wrong. Yes, it is true that winter days are shorter and they have less duration of sunlight, but it does not affect the functionality of the solar panels. This is due to the fact that these solar systems have battery backups that store the solar energy to ensure that scarcity of sunlight does not have any adverse effect on the functional quotient of the solar system. In case you have any query in regards to this, you may talk to the electricians in Bundoora when they set up the solar system at your property.
Solar Panels Are Exorbitantly Expensive
This is another misconception that people at times have about solar panels. They are of the opinion that they have to shell out a high amount of money at the time of installation. Well, the price does vary in accordance with the quality of the panels. While the lesser fancied panels would cost less, the superior ones from the best companies will cost you more. However, the fact that they last long with little maintenance, and they reduce your power bills significantly, makes installation a cost effective step to take.
So the verdict that solar panels are exorbitantly knocked out of proportion by simple logic!
Solar Panels Damage Roofs
This is perhaps the most disgusting myth about solar panels that plague people. Solar panels nerve damage roofs. In fact, when you plan to have them installed, electricians in Heidelberg will gauge the dimension of your roof, the material it is made up of. Also, they will calculate the number of solar panels you need given the amount of solar energy needed. Once they have all these information, they will construct a frame to install the panels so that they remain stern and firm enough to brave strong wind, and even blizzards. Also, this step will ensure that your roof will remain unharmed and unaffected.
