Harness the sun's power and enjoy the amazing benefits of going solar!
Research conducted in Portugal by the Portuguese Association of Renewable Energies (APREN) highlights the cost-saving benefits of solar energy, making it an attractive option for households and businesses. Solar power has also been found to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional energy sources, according to a study by researchers at a Portuguese university.
Moreover, residential properties equipped with solar panels in cities like Lisbon and Porto have experienced an increase in value, as reported by the Portuguese Institute for Statistics (INE). These findings emphasize the financial, environmental, and property value advantages of adopting solar energy in Portugal.
Solar energy is generated through the use of photovoltaic (PV) panels, which convert sunlight into electricity. These panels contain cells made of semiconductor materials that absorb photons and release electrons, creating an electric current.
Solar energy offers numerous benefits, including cost savings on electricity bills, reduced carbon emissions, energy independence, long-term investment value, government incentives, energy security, and increased property value.
Solar energy can be adapted to various locations and property types. Factors such as roof orientation, available space, and local climate affect the feasibility. A solar energy professional can assess your specific situation to determine the suitability and design a system tailored to your needs.
The cost of a solar system depends on factors like system size, equipment quality, installation complexity, and location. However, prices have become more affordable in recent years. Additionally, government incentives and financing options are available to help make solar more accessible.
The ROI for solar panels varies based on factors such as system cost, energy consumption, electricity rates, and available incentives. Generally, solar systems have a payback period of several years, after which you can enjoy significant savings on your electricity bills.
Solar panels are designed to be durable and can last 25 to 30 years or even longer with proper maintenance. They typically come with manufacturer warranties that guarantee performance for a specified period.
In grid-tied solar systems, if there is a power outage, the system automatically shuts down to comply with safety regulations. However, with the addition of energy storage systems, you can have backup power during outages, ensuring a continuous electricity supply.
Net metering or feed-in tariff programs may allow you to sell excess solar energy back to the grid, depending on your location and utility regulations. This can further offset your electricity costs and increase your savings.
