No, you generally should not walk on standard solar panels because foot traffic can cause microcracks in the silicon cells. These cracks reduce energy efficiency, shorten panel lifespan, and can void warranties. Professionals avoid damage by stepping on aluminum frames or using walkways. Only specialized panels are designed for foot traffic. Can you walk on … Read more
Yes, modern solar panels can withstand hurricanes when properly installed. Most panels are tested and certified for wind speeds of 140–180 mph, equal to Category 4 or 5 storms. Hurricane-rated mounting systems and code-compliant installation are critical, though flying debris can still cause damage. How durable are solar panels in hurricanes? Modern solar panels are … Read more
Yes, solar panels can power an entire commercial building when system size matches energy demand. Success depends on roof or land space, local sun exposure, panel efficiency, and battery or grid backup. Smaller buildings may reach 100% solar, while larger buildings typically offset most costs using solar with grid support. How commercial solar panels work … Read more
Yes, solar panels can be repossessed if you stop making payments on a loan or lease. Lenders often file a UCC lien, treating the system as collateral similar to a car. While physical removal is uncommon, lenders can legally reclaim the system or pursue remaining debt through legal action. What does it mean to repossess … Read more
Yes, solar lights can be charged indoors using strong artificial light or indirect sunlight from a bright window. Charging indoors takes longer than direct sunlight. Solar lights with USB ports charge faster using a wall adapter or power bank. Turn the light off while charging for best results. How Solar Lights Work — The Basics … Read more
Yes, an AC can run on solar power by using a properly sized solar system. Solar-powered AC systems require sufficient solar panels, an inverter, and often battery storage to handle high power demand and startup surge. High-efficiency AC units and grid-tied or hybrid systems improve reliability. Introduction You ever get stuck in that hot, sticky … Read more
No, solar panels aren’t inherently bad for your roof. Proper installation on a healthy roof can protect it from sun and hail damage. However, improper installation or installing panels on an old roof may cause leaks and structural problems. To avoid issues, use a reputable installer, ensure your roof has 10-15 years of life left, … Read more
