Questions
What factors affect solar panel energy output?
Solar panel output depends on sunlight exposure, panel angle, weather, dirt buildup, and system efficiency. Peak production occurs midday, with real-world output typically 90-95% of rated capacity.
How does Solar Boost treatment improve solar panel efficiency?
Solar Boost increases photon absorption by 10-30%, reduces static electricity to repel dirt, and extends panel lifespan. It also makes panels self-cleaning, lowering maintenance costs.
Can I install solar panels myself?
Yes, our systems include detailed instructions and support. For complex setups or Solar Boost application, we recommend professional installation to ensure optimal performance.
What shipping options are available for solar systems?
Units ship via freight trucks in reinforced crates. International orders require a shipping quote. Customers in Rigby, Idaho, can pick up units in person.
What warranty and support do you offer?
We provide technical support via phone and email, with repair/replacement coverage for shipping damage. Battery lifespan depends on maintenance, with multi-year performance guaranteed under proper care.
