The main function of the solar system is to generate electricity from sunlight that can be used for  our own needs.

And, despite being quite popular recently, people don’t know much about it.. So we decided to single out ten facts that you should know.

1. A solar system is the most optimal way to save money on electricity bills.

If you can afford to pay your monthly electricity bill, then you can also afford to install a solar system. If you choose the right capacity, you can completely refuse traditional sources of electricity, and why not you will even be able to sell the surplus.

2. Installation of a  solar system is a good investment for the future.

By investing in solar you can earn more income than in stocks and bonds of commercial companies and now is the perfect time to do it. 

Solar system technologies are constantly developing, while the traditional energy technologies are practically not developing, and the price of electricity is constantly increasing. At the same time, many countries around the world are promoting the development of solar energy in every possible way.

3. Solar photovoltaic systems have a long history, which efficiency has been proved by years of experience.

Solar systems are already an established technology that was invented in 1954. Today, solar systems are installed in millions of homes around the world, and there are also huge solar power plants that provide electricity to a whole village or town.
 

4. Solar systems have a high durability.

Solar PV panels are made of tempered glass and can withstand hail, snow, rain and strong winds. They can even extend the life of your roof by protecting it from everyday damages.

5. Solar systems can produce electricity for 25 years or more.

Most solar panel manufacturers provide a 25-year power warranty. In other words, manufacturers guarantee that their solar modules will continue to produce electricity at a certain capacity for the whole warranty period.

Along with the development, a 30-year power and performance warranties are already provided.

6. Solar systems practically don’t  require any service.

Solar modules are incredibly durable. Except for some cases, the modules don't need regular service, even they don’t need to be constantly washed and cleaned.

7.  Solar panels can be installed in any area of our country.

The solar potential of Armenia is more than favorable for installation of solar systems.

8. The solar system can be connected to the grid, which means that you don’t need batteries to store energy.

When you install a solar system at home, you will be connected to the grid at the same time. When your system produces more electricity than you use, the surplused  energy will be sent to the grid. If you need more electricity than produces your system, you can take it from the grid. If at the end of the month it turns out that you gave more energy to the grid than you took from it, the grid will pay you for the difference.
 

9. You can install the solar system anywhere - on the roof of your house, on the roof of a commercial area and even on your land.

Solar panels can be installed almost anywhere that receives direct sunlight for most of the day. Modules placed on the southern side produce more electricity, but can also be placed on the eastern and western sides of the house or in the yard.

10. Solar systems are obtainable both in their price and availability.

There is a wide selection of solar modules in the world and also in Armenia. The quality, price offers and organizations installing solar systems are also a lot. That allows you to make the right choice, taking into account several important points.
