Will my solar panels withstand extreme weather conditions?
Solar panels are designed to withstand harsh weather climates, from blistering heat to freezing cold. Our solar panels are also put through extreme hail tests, where they endure an onslaught of ice balls travelling at over 80km/h in 11 different impact locations.
So it’s safe to say that they’re pretty tough, but if you’re still worried that the weather has compromised your solar PV panels, please contact us and arrange an inspection.
Can I add Solar Panels to an existing Solar System?
Yes, there are a many ways to add solar to a property with an existing solar system. You can add panels directly to the existing system if the existing inverter is not at full capacity. Or you can add panels to the property but as its own individual system to run parallel to the pre-existing system.
What size Solar System should I have?
When putting solar on your property you will want to have it tailored to your needs. Each household uses electricity differently and therefore each installation should be different as well. At solar 1 electrical we work with you to analyse your energy usage and tailor a system to your needs.
