Q: What components make up a solar system?
A: A basic solar system includes solar panels and an inverter, which acts as the system's control center. More advanced systems incorporate battery storage for backup power or nighttime use.
Q: Will solar systems function during power outages?
A: Only systems with compatible battery storage will operate during utility power outages. Grid-tied systems without batteries automatically disconnect for safety reasons until utility power is restored.
Q: Are solar systems resistant to typhoons?
A: All systems installed by GO GRIDLESS are rated to withstand super typhoon wind speeds, with appropriate mounting hardware selected based on roof type.
Q: What maintenance do solar systems require?
A: Annual cleaning of solar panels and inverters is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
Q: What is net metering?
A: Net metering allows customers to sell excess solar power back to utility companies for credit on their monthly bills, which is beneficial when solar production exceeds daytime consumption.
Q: How can I verify my system's quality?
A: GO GRIDLESS installs Class-A equipment from established brands, with solar panels typically rated as 'Tier 1' from reputable manufacturers.
Q: How do I monitor my system's performance?
A: Most systems include online monitoring capabilities accessible via website or smartphone app, plus visual indicators on the inverter itself.
