Debunking Most Common Solar Panel Myths

Many people are looking for innovative and sustainable ways to keep their homes energy-efficient. One of the most popular alternatives to traditional electricity sources is solar panels. This device is a collection of photovoltaic cells that absorb the sun rays and convert them into electricity or heat. Solar panels, however, face some controversies due to misconceptions.

Read on as Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., a solar panel company in Northern California, debunks the common myths surrounding solar panels.

Myth #1: Solar Panels Are Not Suitable For Cold Climates

Solar panels are versatile. They work well both in cold and warm climates. Conductivity rises in cold temperatures, making electricity flow more efficiently. Higher temperatures, on the other hand, reduce a solar panel’s efficiency since it produces less power from the same amount of light.

Myth #2: Tracking Systems Are Required To Follow The Angle Of the Sun

Your contractor will install your solar panels in areas that can maximize sun exposure. A tracking system won’t then be needed. Newer counterparts, however, have built-in tracking systems, which change the panels’ direction throughout the day.

Myth #3: Solar Panels Can Affect Curb Appeal

Some homeowners are having second thoughts about installing solar panels because they fear these devices will compromise curb appeal. Your local installer, however, may install the panels in spots that can minimize visual impact. Solar panels can also be mounted on the ground and can visually blend with your roofing system.

Myth #4: Solar Panels Are High-Maintenance

Similar to other exterior components, solar panels also require maintenance. These devices, however, only need to be inspected and cleaned a couple of times a year.

Customer Testimonials

Our clients love the energy solutions we provide!

Nick is very well educated on the products industry. He has been in the industry for years now and knows more than anyone else I have spoken to. Its very refreshing to have the owner of the company come out to talk to you about your options compared to a door to door sales guy who cant even answer the most basic questions. Im very happy with the service and attention to detail.

These guys actually know what they are doing and do what they say they are going to do. They are capable in many areas including installing solar panels, Tesla batteries and also HVAC. They complete the whole job with their own employees rather than using outside contractors. We were really pleased with the results on three separate jobs. Thanks.

Nick and Green Air installed our Solar One year ago, it has exceeded its projected output and works great! The work was started and completed on time and Green Air completed all the extra work such as getting permits from the city of Benicia. Green Air employees cleaned up their work site daily and they were a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that we have shrunk our carbon footprint.

Nick has a very strong work ethic and was competitive in his pricing as compared to other companies. It’s also nice to know that PG & E is now my customer!
