Busting Solar Myths with Panel Plan Co for Solar in Adelaide

Welcome to the sunlight revolution! With Australians at the forefront of embracing solar power, it’s high time we clear the air on some common misconceptions. Whether you’re already soaking up the sun’s rays or still pondering the switch, Panel Plan are here to shed light on the truth about solar energy. Let’s dive into debunking these myths and get you ready to join the solar party.

Myth 1: Solar doesn't save you in Winter  

Contrary to the chilly rumour, solar panels don’t take a winter break. Today’s tech ensures these power generators thrive across all seasons, even when the sun plays hide and seek during shorter winter days. Surprisingly, cooler temperatures boost their efficiency – imagine your smartphone’s performance on a hot day versus a cool one. More panels mean more power, even when daylight is on a tight schedule.

Myth 2: Solar will ruin your roof?  

The thought of solar panels damaging rooftops has many homeowners hesitating. However, the truth lies in the installation expertise, not the panels themselves. Properly installed, solar panels can actually shield your roof from the elements, extending its life. Concerns over weight are often unfounded, with each panel distributing its load evenly. Beyond protection, they offer added insulation benefits, making your home cosier while cutting down on heating and cooling costs.

Panel Plan Solar backs every installation with a lifetime workmanship warranty, ensuring your roof’s integrity and your peace of mind. With us, your solar journey is all about generating power and savings, minus the worries.

Myth 3: No point getting solar unless it has a battery?  

There’s a common belief that without a battery, solar power goes to waste. Not true! Solar systems are grid-tied, providing a seamless exchange of electricity. This setup allows your home to draw from the grid when needed and contribute excess power back, maintaining a balanced flow of energy. For many households, the current state of technology and cost considerations make batteries an optional upgrade rather than a necessity.

Most people think they use all their power at night. They often forget they have kids and partners home all afternoon, have two days of weekend and daylight savings means sun is still shining at 8pm sometimes.

Myth 4: Solar Panels reduce Propert Value?  

On the contrary, solar panels are a beacon of value in today’s real estate market. Embracing sustainability and reducing carbon footprints are priorities for many Australians, and solar installations are a tangible step in that direction. Property listings now often highlight solar capabilities, with studies indicating a willingness among Australian homeowners to pay a premium for solar-equipped properties. This shift not only reflects the environmental benefits but also translates into real financial gains for property sellers.

Myth 5: Solar Panels need regular maintenance?  

Worried that solar panels demand constant upkeep? Here’s some good news: they’re remarkably low maintenance. Panel Plan’s installations are designed for self-cleaning, with natural elements like rain doing most of the work. Occasional hosing down might be needed, but the days of frequent, costly cleanings are a myth. With solar panels, you’re investing in a hassle-free source of renewable energy for years to come.

Myth 6: I can't afford solar?  

The sticker shock of solar installation is a common concern, but Panel Plan Co’s solar plans are designed to ease that worry.
