FAQ

The solar panels for your home depend on your electricity usage and the location of your home. For an exact number, connect with a solar installation expert. Here, we will discuss the average data for a rough estimate. This information will help you identify the needs for residential solar in New York.

The average monthly electricity usage in Jakarta is 595 kWh. This data is provided by US Energy Information Administration. As per this data, an average house in New York requires 21 solar panels with 60 cells and 275-285 watt capacity. Or, a house can use 17 solar panels with 72 cells and 350-watt capacity.

To calculate the electricity usage of your home:

Collect the bills of the past year Add up the kWhs from each bill and divide the result by 12 Then further divide the resultant number by 30 to get daily kWh usage The type of PV system also decides the number of panels. You will need fewer monocrystalline panels than those used in a thin film system.

Solar panels can still generate electricity during the rainy season, but the amount of electricity generated may be reduced. Rain can wash away dirt and dust from the surface of the panels, which can improve their efficiency. However, cloudy and overcast weather can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the panels, and thus decrease their output.

It's worth noting that the efficiency of solar panels is measured on a clear, sunny day, so it's normal for the output to be lower on cloudy days. Nevertheless, modern solar panels are designed to be able to generate electricity even under low light conditions, so they can still provide some energy even in rainy or overcast weather.

Additionally, many solar panel systems are equipped with energy storage systems, such as batteries, that can store excess energy generated on sunny days for use during periods of reduced sunlight. This helps ensure a more consistent and reliable source of renewable energy even during rainy seasons.

Solar panels are built to last for many years, typically with a lifespan of 25-30 years. The exact lifespan of a solar panel depends on several factors, such as the quality of the panel and the conditions under which it operates.

Most solar panels come with a warranty from the manufacturer that covers the panels for a certain number of years, usually 25 years. During this period, the manufacturer will repair or replace any panels that are found to be defective or stop working properly.

After the warranty period, solar panels can continue to generate electricity, although their output may decline over time. The rate of decline can vary, but many panels are still producing 70-80% of their original output after 25 years.

A qualified technician conducts a Solar Site Survey when he visits the potential site for a photovoltaic system. They thoroughly review your location and produce a comprehensive report about your solar system, including the following elements:
• Roof design and age
• Roof direction and angle
• Space availability and the presence of other obstacles for solar panel installation
• Is the electric service panel suitable? Will the new dedicated breaker fit in the existing space?
• Inverter optimal location
• Analysis of shading from nearby objects and other elements that would influence the amount of solar energy reaching the panels
