Do I need batteries with solar panels?

Batteries are not always necessary with solar panels, especially if your home is connected to the electrical grid. When your solar panels generate more electricity than you consume, the excess power can be fed back into the grid, and you can receive credits or compensation for it through net metering programs. However, batteries can be useful for storing excess energy for use during night-time or power outages, providing greater energy independence.

Are solar panels maintenance-free?

Solar panels generally require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dirt, dust, or debris can help optimise their performance. Additionally, it's important to ensure that the panels are free from shading caused by trees or other structures. Most solar panel systems also come with monitoring capabilities to track their performance and identify any potential issues.
