Solar panels on your roof capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. This electricity is used to power your home or business, reducing the amount of energy you need from the grid. Any excess energy can be stored in a battery or exported to the utility, depending on your system.
In many cases, solar can significantly reduce your electricity bill. The exact savings depend on your energy usage, system size, and whether you include battery storage. Some customers offset most of their bill, while others use solar to reduce costs over time.
Most solar panels are designed to last 25 years or more. Inverters and batteries may have shorter lifespans, but they are replaceable components. SunMax systems are built using high-quality equipment for long-term performance.
