Embracing the winter season shouldn't deter you from exploring the advantages of solar energy. West Coast Electrical are your local solar panel experts in Blackpool. Let's debunk a few common misconceptions:
Solar Panel Myth One
Winter diminishes solar effectiveness
Solar panels generate energy year-round. Although performance may experience a slight dip due to lower sunlight intensity, savings will still be generated.
Solar Panel Myth Two
Cloudy days render solar useless
Solar panels function in the presence of light, so even on cloudy days, they contribute to your home's energy needs. They can capture indirect sunlight, converting it into usable electricity.
Solar Panel Myth Three
Solar won’t power my Blackpool house in winter
Solar panels persist in powering your home during winter, especially when electricity consumption is higher. This helps you save money and trim down your bills.
Solar Panel Myth Four
Solar isn’t effective in the rain
Solar panels are built to endure rain and maintain normal functionality. In fact, rain assists in keeping panels clean by washing away debris and dust.
Solar Panel Myth Five
Snow impedes solar performance
As soon as snow melts or panels are exposed to sunlight, a slight heat generation begins, melting the snow and restoring energy generation. This also serves as a free cleaning service.
We hope this has helped clear up some of the misconceptions about solar panels. If you would like to find out more about adding solar panels, contact West Coast Electricals friendly and experienced team.
