In general, solar panels are very durable and capable of withstanding snow, wind, and hail. The various components of your solar power system will need to be replaced at different, but your system should continue to generate electricity for 20 to 30 years.

Solar power, like other renewable energy resources, has many environmental and health benefits. Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change, and also results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can cause health problems.

You will receive a bill from STELCO. You will be billed for the “net” energy used each month, that is, the difference between the energy fed into the grid by the solar power system and the energy consumed by the house over the monthly billing period.

Since the solar is connected to the grid, it will shut off in the event of a blackout. This is to prevent emergency responders and electricity repair people from being injured by your panels sending power back to the grid.

While solar panels are most efficient in direct sunlight, they can still generate electricity on cloudy days. However, their output may be reduced compared to sunny days.

Excess energy generated by your solar panels is typically fed back into the grid, and you will receive discounts for this surplus energy through net-metering.

The amount you can save on your electricity bills with solar panels depends on factors such as your energy consumption, the size of your solar system, and local electricity rates. On average, homeowners can save thousands of rufiyaa over the lifetime of their solar panels.
